ferguson_tom Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Hi Everyone I am back from my honeymoon after getting married last weekend I am not sure whether its the symbolism of a shackle but my wedding ring is really annoying me and I am just not getting used to it. I have a ring on my other hand which i got used to very quickly. I am hoping someone on here will be able to help with modifying it. My wedding ring is titanium and is the same thickness along its width, my other ring is D shaped which i find comfortable. Is it possible to basically machine my wedding ring into the same sort of D shape where it is same thickness in the middle but thinner at the edges? Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter.123 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I'm sure it could be done mate, I got married in September last year and I couldn't get used to it to start with but don't realise it's there now. Are you sure it's the wrong shape and not because you have the wrong women :lol: joking aside It's possible to have it machined, take it to a Jeweller and ask them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerboy Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Hi Tom My brother in law is a Goldsmith/Jeweller, if you cannot get it sorted locally let me know and I will see what can be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson_tom Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Cheers gents, I will pop in the local jewellers and see what they say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Mule Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 My one is Ti too. That metal is extremely hard. You will be lucky to get it milled out. I hope for your sake I'm wrong, but I reckon you're stuck with your shackle mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe1978 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I was put off titanium as I was told too that is was almost a brittle metal and pretty difficult to resize if need be in the future. I couldn't justify platinum so my wedding ring is palladium, same stuff as Iron Man's heart reactor is made from!!! :good: Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxiDriver Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Get a "wedding watch", much more useful, unlike the wife Why ? Can't She tell the time ? :blink: :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southeastpete Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 yea, i was just in the jewellers today talking about mine, and they said titanium was too hard to adjust. You'd probably have to get a different one, or go with palladium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeds chimp Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I have a titanium one and you cant adjust them...(not a wedding ring :yp: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk1 Man Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 i no longer wear my wedding ring....I know exactly where it is...in the margins of a local lake. It came off whilst i was wiping ground bait off my hands and plopped into the water as i shook the cloth out.. :yp: The ife refused to buy me A new one incase i did it again The odd thing is, every now and then i get A sensation around my ring finger that feels like i'm still wearing it.

death from below Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I beleive it is a projection of your unease at being shackled into marriage. We are brought up on stories where the two partners face extreme adversity to be together then get hitched and live happily ever after. I bought into that and no one told me or offered the piece of advice that a life long partnership is bloody hard work that requires daily commitment to make it work. Good luck with your ring - once the missus drops her first sprog it wil be another type of ring that needs adjusting due to a sudden bad fitting. Ps, I celebrate 10 yrs of marraige in a couple of weeks and I wouldn't swap her for anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billytheghillie Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 wedding rings are easy to adjust, once you ditch the bitch, ditch the ring! simples, thats what i did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson_tom Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 So thats a no then for getting it adjusted, i will leave it another week or so and see if i can get more used to it, if not im gonna have to go get something different. I looked at a palladium one and was going to get one, that was until the missus picked a ring out she loved and that basically wiped out our budget so meant i had to get a cheaper one, Not a problem though as the titanium is better for me as more durable and will take a lot to bend it if i get it caught in any of the toys. I cant help but notice some very sour people on here when it comes to marriage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
