My father in law recently lost a ton of weight, and has been wearing his wedding ring on his right hand. He didn't want to get it resized (botched job in the past made him wary), and has been wearing a braided copper ring on his ring finger. This has been driving me, my MIL, and my SIL insane. So, I took it upon myself to get the man a new wedding ring (he was pretty excited about the concept). I only had about $100 to work with, so my options were limited. His original wedding ring is yellow gold, so I wanted to make sure that whatever I got him had at least a little yellow gold on it!

I stumbled across an etsy store called titaniumknights, and found a ring that I hope FIL will love! Here's a link to the store. http://www.etsy.com/shop/titaniumknights. They were fantastic to work with, I was able to custom order the width of the ring, since I knew FIL wanted around 6mm, and they were FAST. I ordered the ring on Friday, and it got here less than a week later!

6mm wide
2 solid 14K gold inlays
Brushed finish on top
Polished Bevel Edges
Comfort Fit

Wow, I am so glad you posted that! I have been wanting to get my DH a new wedding band for our 3rd anniversary in May but I don''t want to spend a huge amount, and that company has really nice styles and very good prices!

DH and I took it over after dinner. He seems to really like it, and my MIL is reeeally happy to have that braided copper band off his hand, LOL!

Dreamer - I''m ordering a ring for myself too to use as a travel ring, and for days when I will be beating my hands up, LOL. I was really, really happy with what I got for the price! Most of the titanium and tungsten rings I found had gold plated stripes, as opposed to the solid inlay that titaniumknights offered. I was really happy with how it turned out, and can''t wait to see if you choose something from them!

susimoo - thank you!

Too funny that you mention that... I have been wanting a thick, heavy comfort fit band to wear in the same type of situtions, like 6mm, but don''t want to pay for gold, so I am thinking of getting one too!

That ring is lovely. I am sure he will love it.

As a side note, I bought DH a replacement band from Titanium Knights a while back. They were fantastic to work with. We lost his original ring somewhere in the house. I finally gave up looking for it and had a new one made similar to his original one. It was really affordable. Of course, about two weeks after I finally broke down and bought him the new one, the old one turned up. The dog had buried it in the chair in our living room..........

LOL! Too funny. DH lost his ring for almost a week a while back. We found it behind a picture frame.

We are ordering my FI a tungsten band with a gold inlay (not from the vendor you mentioned). I also was thinking about ordering myself one, as a back-up wedding band.

I checked out the site and love the variety of rings they have. I am getting a new platinum ring and my DH''s wedding band is gold two tone but just a bit of WG in it. I offerred to buy him a new platinum band to match mine. He said he doesn''t want one. I am not sure if he doesn''t want one because of how much we are spending on mine or if he really doesn''t want one.
Anyway I was thinking for under $150 I could get him a titanium ring that would look really nice. His gold ring is really banged up and I know that bothers him because he has wondered if the scratches can be buffed out.

So please educate me about about titanium. Is it pretty durable. How does the color hold up? It doesn''t tarnish does it? See I really know nothing about it!!! PS is the best place to get an education.

From what I know of titanium, it WILL scratch, much like white gold or plat. It does not tarnish.
