I took it to mean you squeeze the other direction. Not around the whole finger, just the narrow dimension of the ring. It's crystalline, so it will still break that way. Actually, I bet it would be easier, since you don't have the circular shape redistributing all the force.

Hmmm.... I don't know. I have two and they haven't broke. I wore them everyday working for Overhead Door, no issues.

I really would not be concerned with a ring breaking, but thats just me.

I have a tungsten wedding ring and it's great. It never gets scratched and I actually get compliments on it fairly often because it's always shiny. Mine has a band of silver in the middle of it which is the only part that shows any wear but it's not scratched enough to just seem like it's supposed to be matte compared to the tungsten part. Like others have said, even though it can't be sized, they're inexpensive enough that it doesn't really matter. I don't believe they're as difficult to remove from a swollen finger as a Titanium ring is. My brother is an ER doc and he advised against me getting a Ti ring because I do a lot of work around the house and he's had to deal with Ti rings in the ER before. I believe Tungsten is "easier" to get off of a swollen finger.

Our ring cutter isnt much more than a cheap glorified dremmel and not even a good one.

Do baby-daddies get rings these days?
