I found the kind of wedding ring I wanted -- two outer bands of smooth high polish and an inner band with a hammered finish. The first version I found was at BN, listed at $1200, found another at BB&B ($don't ask). I was a little partial to platinum as a result of the process of securing my fiancee's e-ring, but I couldn't stomach the thought of paying that kind of money. Then, I found Bruce Boone of http://www.boonerings.com, who had some nice mentions here on Pricescope. After a couple of emails, he was confident he could make what I was looking for even though it wasn't specifically listed as an example on his site. My fiancee was concerned about titanium because the titanium rings we had seen in stores were all that dark, gunmetal color. When I discovered Bruce's workshop was nearby, I called him up and got the ok to come by and have a look in person with my fiancee.
Let me tell you his website photos are on the money. He speculated that the darker titanium rings must simply be a different quality of titanium. We loved looking at the samples he showed us and decided to order the ring right there. Then, he asked us if we wanted to watch! We were a little surprised..."You mean now?". "Sure!"
We went to Bruce's workshop and got quite an education. We really enjoyed talking to Bruce about his art, and he showed us at least one example of just about everything you can find on his site. We got to see my ring made, start to finish. He puts a lot of work into each one of his creations, and keeps very high standards. What follows is the photo journal of that process.
If you find something similar to what you want at Boone Rings, I'd encourage you to contact him and see what he can do. We love the ring and the education!
