As an unmarried mid-30 male, I absolutely plan on getting myself a nice jeweled ring. I like shiny things ;). I also like weird rare metals (seems to be a common thing among the HN crowd), my current favorite is Rhenium, but I'm wary of medical considerations (the "can't get it off in an emergency" kind, not the allergy kind.) It does seem to be a generational difference to some degree. FWIW I just don't give a f*ck anymore about conventions. P.S.: Absolutely agree on plain diamond rings being boring & giving it a personal touch. I mean, how is a diamond ring special to our relationship?
