Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

Coolest Ring Yet

I’ve gotten a couple of my silver rings from the Salt Lake Silver Ring Co. They have really good prices and interesting rings. Because of my orders, I’m on their email list, which is really fun because every once in a while they send out notices of crazy-good sales.

Last week I got an email about a sale on tungsten carbide rings. I’ve already branched out from silver to stainless steel, so I checked out tungsten carbide. What their website says sounds pretty cool, and the ring I was looking at was 80% off, so I ordered it.

It came yesterday. I love it! It is very dark – a black-colored silver. And it’s shiny because of facets cut into it. And it’s heavier than any of my other rings. Plus, even though tungsten is the hardest pure metal in the world, I don’t have to worry about my finger being cut off in an emergency situation, because it can be broken into pieces with a standard vice grip style locking pliers (if Wikipedia is to be believed).

So sparkly.

    Dang – that’s pretty cool. Plus I just spent 10 minutes over at their website, and their spell has been cast. Must… buy… ring….

    Nice. Will you please put all of your rings on and take a picture so that we can see the variety? Also, I’m interested in a comparison of the colors of the silver, stainless, and tungsten carbide.

      Yeah, could you use them like brass knuckles?

        Oooh! I didn’t think about that! (Just take them off before the nice police officers come to ask about the neighbors…)

    If history stands, by tomorrow, you’ll need to cut those fingernails. Just so you know.

    Oh, and cool ring. Dang it. Makes me want a new ring, too.

    So does this mean you are no longer “The Man of Steel”?

    Were you wearing this one Friday morning? I know you’re going to think I’m making this up, but from where I was sitting in the library, I really did see sparkles from whichever ring you were wearing and was going to ask about it later – then forgot (this happens to people in my age group…you wait…)…now remembered (visual aids are helpful, you see…). So whatever it was you wore Friday morning got a mental “Oooo! Shiney!” from this old gal.
