Stainless Steel
Half a Kiss ring is no good to me
Mine (Ti obvs) is currently in the van. I take it off when riding as a find it uncomfortable. It's been in there for a while as my finger has nearly recovered it's normal shape. Was tempted by a silicone substitute but haven't gotten around to it yet. the wife hasn't commented, not sure she's bothered either way.
a long time ago I was working on a drill ship in the North Sea, a chap came down the stairs behind me in bad weather, lost his balance, hand was on handrail. When he got up his ring has removed pretty much his full finger.... I have never worn mine when on the bike, or doing anything sport activity related.
I really wanted a ti ring (because it’s ti, the dream of all MTBers) but the jewellers said that they can’t be stretched or resized like most other materials, so we went with palladium (I wish I’d just got a steel ring to save money, but at least it looks just like a cheap plumbing washer so if I lose it I can sneakily replace it for about a quid😉).
Growing up my Dads wedding ring was always on his car keys - it is pretty deformed due to being removed in hospital after crushing his hand between a cast iron bath and the wall whilst renovating their first home.
A few years ago we did a 4x4 trip across Morocco and to cut a long story short my mate partially degloved his finger after catching it on a bolt, and i had to hacksaw the ring off prior to a 5 hour drive to hospital.
My wedding ring now lives on my car keys - just like my Dads.
My wife rarely wears hers either - she's a science teacher and is convinced she's going to loose it down the sink in a lab at some point!
