I got a new ring in the mail yesterday from Sparkle Cartel. It’s a black tungsten ring. I can imagine there might be a time when black-tie attire could require a black ring. Plus, it’s tungsten so it will stay shiny forever. The literature says black tungsten is regular tungsten with an electroplate coating. I’m curious to see how durable it is.
I wore it to church choir practice last night. So far, I have mixed feelings. It is very cool looking because it’s quite black. But the finish doesn’t seem to have the same depth as my regular tungsten rings. I’ll be wearing it all day today to see how I like it. At about thirty-five bucks, it’s a cheap experiment.
Cool – your camera flash looks like a diamond! Or a star, since it looks like your hand is in outer space. How’d you get the background so black?
(Lloyd isn’t going to like your post.)
I used my black recliner as a background. The flash completely washed out the recliner and made the background a featureless black. It was unintentional, but it is interesting, isn’t it?
Ground control to Major Tom…
You’ve got a black ring on…
I’ll just assume that the black background represents your cold, cold heart.
That picture is very cool looking! As is the ring…sorry Lloyd.
(I think it would have been interesting to see the comments if you had posted a picture of just your foot–no ring–with this post)
PS—I like the ring that’s on the site today…do you have that one?
When I 1st saw the above picture, I thought of “The Hand” from Dark Shadows. It was a very powerful hand & was kept in a box…but could scoot around if not in the box. I couldn’t find a pic of it, but amazingly enough, there was this:

AnOTHER thing to love about Peggy – she knows from “Dark Shadows”! Wasn’t that just the kitchiest craziest TV show with the worst acting, props, music, etc.? I loved it…
Hey! I got my ring in the mail yesterday too! And I wore it today as well! We really are ring twins.
Which ring did you get?
I got the exact same ring Brad did. And I wear it on the same finger!
I think it looks cool. I got a similar looking black ring from Tungsten World, I love it!
