Titanium, Tungston Carbide, Stainless Steel, and I wouldn't be suprised if you could get him to do Iridium or Iridium plated. Alsc does some unique treatments to hardwood mated with metal, Stone and metal, Carbon Fiber and metal... other types of unique metal treatments.

And some really cool stressed-metal diamond mountings for Engagement/wedding rings. If he don't have it, He can make it... if he can't make it it doesn't exizt.

(A very satisfied customer)

I was going to get one, but I was told by my doctor not to. He said if I was ever in an accident where my hand was swelling that hospitals do not have the tools to cut Titanium.

That's not true: http://www.boonerings.com/faq.htm#4

Well I'm not sure about all ER's, but I work on an ambulance in an area with a major medical center, and we are often called to the hospitals because they don't have any ringcutters at all.

Mind you, our ambulance ring cutters are basically a steel, handcranked can opener. It can cut purer gold fairly well, but even gold alloys can take close to an hour. I'm not exactly how we would remove a titanium ring, because titanium would break our ringcutter.

It's not difficult to cut off a Titanium ring:

http://www.boonerings.com/faq.htm#4

I went for a titanium wedding band. I first read about a bike frame builder who made one from offcuts. A good titanium bike frame might be $2000. The ring cost us $300 for about 1000th as much material.

When we were looking for rings the jeweler showed me his and he had it made out of Tungsten. He mentioned that it was one of the hardest materials next to diamonds. It was heavy too! I was thinking Titanium as well but he said it would scratch fairly easily and couldn't be polished like Gold or Silver. Is this the case as you have found it to be? I would dig a Ti band as I'm a serious mnt. bike racer.

P.S. a nice Ti frame can run as much as $5000.00 or more!

I wear a Titanium wedding ring. It's picked up some light scratches, but they can be buffed out with a Dremel. I bought my ring from (and highly recommend) Boone Rings: http://www.boonerings.com/

Not as fancy of a website, but we got our's from this small time shop: http://www.boonerings.com/ . Excellent customer service!

Ditto. Wife and I got our's here: http://www.boonerings.com/

Like the ones my wife and I have, which are 6-4 Titanium. We drew the design for them in AutoCAD and sent the files to Bruce Boone who finished them in 3 days. He kicks ass.

Our rings were on the high end of his price scale because of the custom work, but at $500 for the pair they are significantly cheaper than a lot of the rings that we saw when we got sized at the mall. A relatively simple embossed ring we saw was $3500! For one! My whole wedding didn't cost as much as that!

Actually, titanium rings can be cut off fairly easily, at least according to the guy who made my wedding band:

http://boonerings.com/faq.htm#4

Tungsten carbide rings are difficult to cut, but they can safely be cracked with vise grips:

Or you could, you know, have a mutually respectful relationship and talk about it. A lot of women, especially the ones we slashdotters get involved with, are pretty reasonable. My wife and I decided that we didn't want to go anywhere near a diamond, and my efforts to have a chunk of meteor set into a custom ring didn't work out. She's an astronomer, so we both thought that the extraterrestrial setting would be cool.

We ended up getting an "engagement computer"--she wanted a TiBook, and since it was about $2k, we thought that it was a funny joke.

The whole wedding industry is a giant scam. If you are with a reasonable woman, you can dodge a lot of the crazy stupid extravagances and have a fun time instead. We got titainium wedding bands (custom designed by us in Autocad and made by Bruce Boone, who is awesome), her dress was custom made by a local seamstress for $200, we got married on a volcano in Arizona with 8 people, I grilled steaks for the reception. We're having parties in the Spring for all of the family friends and relatives who weren't at the ceremony.

We had to go to the mall "ring shopping" to get our ring sizes. Some of the more complicated, but still not crazy, rings were hugely expensive--$3500 each!

I know that a lot of women have been planning their weddings since they were 6. I also know that I'm really lucky. I'm trying to tell everyone that it is possible to have a fun wedding without giving DeBeers any money and not that much to the rest of the wedding industry. Fight the Man! And reason with the Woman!

I also got my groom's ring from him (this one). I intended it to be reminiscent but not an exact match to the bride's ring.
