100 rings is my goal. I am a little bit behind at this point, but it's been a 5 rings week. Things are looking up.
Thanks for the support. Happy hunting.

Great day! I found my first Tungsten FC (titanium) ring. Googled it and they cost about $100.00. I also found a drama silver ring that my daughter, the drama princess is going to LOVE! Ring count: Drum roll please....gold 22, silver 18, titanium 1...total is 41

Just FYI, that ring is tungsten, not titanium. The two look the same, but that's where the similarity ends.

Tungsten is becoming more popular because it can be shattered with a hammer off someone's finger in an emergency whereas titanium is much tougher and extremely difficult to remove or cut from a finger. Tungsten is also incredibly scratch resistant, far more than even titanium.

The "FC" stands for the process that tungsten was purified with.

It's a lovely ring, one I wouldn't mind finding ;D

What a great year you are having.
A couple sweet rings again, congrats!

Tungsten is quite different from Titanium I think.
Tungsten is a carbide and dense and heavy while titanium is strong but really light.
It's worth more too for sure.

Keep em coming, good luck!

Smiles!

Thanks for telling me about the tungsten vs. titanium. I googled tungsten and it brought up titanium....i assumed that meant it was titanium. It's a really cool ring, and very, very heavy.
