By the way (and I really don't mean to hijack the thread, but it isn't worth a separate post), I recently found out something about my ring that may or may not apply to you young'uns that may be useful info at some point. I got my ring to fit my left ring finger, because 1) I knew there was no way in hell anybody would ever marry me and 2) deathgrip handshakes - I was good at those. So I got older and weirdly got married, put on some weight, and the ring wouldn't fit on my fat right ring finger. I took it to a jeweler to be resized, and they told me the original maker had a lifetime warranty and they could do it free. It turned out the original maker had changed ownership twice since '79, but I contacted the latest and they told me they couldn't resize it as much as I needed, but the warranty covered fat frickin' fingers and they'd make me a new ring! Which they did, 2 ownership changes and 34 years later, and I'm wearing it now. That's a damn good guarantee, in my opinion. If your ring was made by Balfour, pour acid on it, drive over it, grind it up in your wood-chipper, doesn't matter - you're good to go.
Terrific info. Thanks for that, finest!

Makes me feel kinda good too, cuz I got my ring sized just a tad big, but I like it that way for some reason. At least if/when I get fat fingers, I should still be good to go
