Nice Ring

Nice ring! I have a wedding ring, and a school ring that my mom purchased for me. I haven't been wearing the school ring for some reason. So lately I've been a one ring guy.

However, I love the style of this ring. If the wife gave me something like that, I would totally wear it!

I've already praised your work several times, but I've gotta do it again. A beautiful design very nicely adapted from the 40s style, and really, really fine work. To my eyes, the touch that puts it over the top is the thickness of the sheet on which the stones are mounted. Makes all the difference in the world, both in terms of aesthetics and in conveying the feeling of those earlier pieces.

Damn, you're good.

Thanks...Warbaby.I've developed my own style based on 1940s Navajo and Zuni jewelry.I hammer the metal hot from ingots just like it was done back then.I also cut my own stones.

I got this Tiffany & Co. Cushion shaped Signet Ring when my son was born. We share the same initials. I had the inside engraved with his birth date and my birth date. I figured he would let me borrow it until he is old enough to appreciate it's significance.

I always wear some sort of ring on my left pinkie. This is my current favorite - interesting design with tiny but very sparkly diamonds.

I wear this trench art ring on days when I'm feeling a bit Bogartish:

This is one that I made about 35 years ago. I like it for a number of reasons too numerous to enumerate.

Silver and the seal is made of hematite.

I really like that ring - I find most rings on men, aside from wedding bands and understated class rings, to be emasculating.
The hematite is striking.

Men and rings

So I had been thinking about starting to wear a ring. No, I am not married. I got nice one at a store the other week and wear it when I'm not working. I was wondering what your all take on men wearing rings was. I did several searches but got nothing. Feel free to merge.

My sweetie wears several rings just for the fun of it, one a black and silver thumb ring and a tungsten pinky ring I got him just because. He's quite partial to jewelry all around, though, and when not at work generally has several necklaces and bracelets on as well. For him, it's a great look, but I think that's because he's a big guy and it's nothing for him to carry off wearing accessories, even hats. I think it would look ridiculous and overpowering on a short, skinny guy, but that's just my opinion.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
I think men should keep it simple when it comes to jewelery. For me, it's just a watch and my college ring. Maybe someday I'll add a wedding ring to the other hand.[huh]
