Looking for an engagement ring

[Sultan]

I am looking for a ring (in gold or platinum) with a hollow glass setting in which I can seal my blood.

Anyone has something like this for sale or knows where I can get one?

Please let me know.

way easier than spending 8k on some bulls**t diamond that doesn't do anything.

I would go to a jeweler and get a quote for custom work. One decent site for engagement ring jewelers is www.r8w.com ... or it used to be anyways. I've been married for a long time now so that site may have changed. It had many jewelers that would make a one-off shank (ring) for you for a price. You would just have to canvass for quotes and see who would be able to do it.

It doesn't sound hard at all. A little bit off but should be hard at all. But I wouldn't doubt it if it were to be relatively pricey because of the custom aspect. Especially in plat. Plat is more difficult to work with and you will pay for the priviledge of having custom plat work. But the nice thing about plat is that it's pretty much non-reactive for those who are metal sensitive (gold that is).

DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My ex and I were 1 payment away from having an engagement ring but it fell through.

I hope it turns out better for you then me, even though I am much happier now

Good luck

I'm not giving you a ring until I know you'll put out.

Don't do it! Ball 'n' Chain.

How does it react to people like me that wear a metal bracelet and have it corrode to the point where it breaks in a matter of months?

They arent sensitive to the gold, they are sensitive to the other metals used in the gold alloy. Which varies from, copper, to nickel, to silver, to palladium, or any combonation of the four. Most people are sensitive to copper and nickel.

oh come on man, someone has to know where to get this.

That's what I meant but in my haste I posted "gold". I stand corrected.

Plat is difficult because it has a high melting point. I doubt you could put a glass vile of blood in plat because you couldnt heat it anywhere near what the plat needs. The only hope would be to set the vile in it and then fill/close it.

But even if you do that i dont think glass can hold up to the heat necessary to set it.

Sounds disgusting IMO, and what jeweler is going to want to handle your blood?

You're not getting married to Angelina Jolie or Billy Bob Thornton by any chance, are you?

 

[billandopus]

Those two are kinda freaky people! Jolie seems to have settled down a bit more with her adoption. Billy Bob ... well, he's Billy Bob. I mean, his name is Billy Bob for freak's sake!

That's actually a great idea. The only thing of real value in a ring is the precious metal. The diamond is only percieved value because of DeBeer's control on the supply of mined diamonds (not because they are actually rare).

I've got the band for ya

But I can't help you with the blood part

 

[Sultan]

does anyone here know an actual jeweller who would do this???

It really can't be done dude and others have explained why. I'm pretty sure your blood would boil in the high temperatures.

You could get your dna encoded onto the diamond or the band?

I would think that the blood would boil as well.

Anand, is that you?
