Anyone have an opinion of Eternal Tungsten

[jaimec]

My fiance and I have been looking at a lot of different types of wedding bands for him. In the end we''ve decided on tungsten rings but now the question is who should we buy the ring from. We compared some of the online jewelers and found a gold inlay tungsten carbide ring "the Apollo" going for selling for $549 - at http://www.tungstenworld.com/Tungsten-Carbide-Ring/APOLLO-Gold-Round/

After some more comparisons to another online jeweler, I found the similar ring for $349 at Eternal Tungsten (http://www.eternaltungsten.com/ndj016.html).

They both seem to have the same shipping and warranty policy http://www.eternaltungsten.com/FAQs.html. I''m wondering why the other jeweler is selling the similar ring for $200 more

.

Has anyone ever bought from either of these jewelers? The savings is a lot for almost the same ring.

Hi, I have a friend who works in the medical profession and he has relayed the potential problems of a ring similar to the one you are looking at. In a medical emergency, that ring would be very difficult to remove (I do not say impossible because I am not in the field and do not know what tools are available now.) if there was swelling to the finger. Thought I would pass it along, but perhaps you have already considered this.
