Platinum here too.
It started of shiny but it never comes off so now it's got a sort of brushed finish with several gouges. It could almost look like titanium.

"Going For Gold", haha! Wasn't that a tv quiz in the late 80s/early 90s?!

Mine is 18K gold and my wife's is white gold. I have a Ti ring and as most have said fingers change and the ring can't be very easily so it's unworn.

My wife and I have palladium, her engagement ring is platinum and it matches perfectly and the two rings wont damage each other when worn together (palladium next to platinum.)

don't know here abouts you are - but I too recommend going to the jewelery quarter in birmingham, prices are prob same as online due to competitin between shops, have a nice time wondering round trying on and choosing rings, and saving
I bought both our platinum wedding rings from there, mines an 8mm one, couldnt get onoe like that in home town anyway

Silver for me , don't like gold and as I'll loose, scratch or bend it I didn't want to spend too much . It's lasted 15 years up to now

something soft metal for the accidents / degloving injuries ( google it after lunch)

I've got Platinum. handmade with my wife's by the same jeweller who made the engagement ring.
Its great, but soft and gets scracthed up easily. Had it polished for the first time in years a few weeks ago and was told it was going to be a tricky job...

Brilliant...how fortunate that you opened this ancient thread with a helpful post.
is this the sort of ring you're talking about?

gold is soft and platinum harder, but you will still need to get them polished every now and again.
So get platinum for the wife.
I have a tinanium ring as I didn't want a weighty ring and titanium is bloody light, plus I don't care about the scratches on it.
If you get platinum for the wife be very careful that whoever makes it actually uses the correct solder for it, not gold solder as this will be weaker and the ring may end up breaking and losing a stone.
can vouch for this guy:
and there is a mountain bike shop within 50 yards as well:

These trade SEO spammers are really starting to annoy. Good use of the 'report' function though.

And you could consider Moissanite for the wifes stones instead of diamonds.
If you get real moissanite then it is way rarer than diamond, but it is normally a synthetic form.
Jewellers have trouble identifying it from diamond and have to send it off to the lab.
I think it has a higher refractive index than diamond so will 'shine' more.
Plus you are guaranteed that no-one has smuggled it out in their teeth or that it hasn't been used to buy weapons.
Some people have insisted on it for ethical reasons.
I mention it as I personally would prefer to spend more on the craftmenship of the ring maker than for overpriced bits of compressed carbon.

From the OP...
I went for gold (made from 2 of the wife's old rings melted down)in the end.

mercury would seem like the most appropriate in my personal experience... not that I'm cynical or jaded or anything..

As long as you like it I don't think it matters what it's made from.

Tungsten here. Don't wear it when I'm doing activities that may result it in having to be smashed off.
Posted 10 months ago # -
Tungsten here too, mine has been very durable and hasn't suffered from any of the dulling or scratching that my original white gold one (which I lost) did.

white gold = evil.
Posted 10 months ago # -
I don't think this matters any longer the OP asked a year ago and has no doubt been wearing the ring for ... well about a year now!
