I'd be down with the winning $105 million part.

I make enough as it is.  Trips.  This is the ring, I like it, it slips on and off easily.

Not yet, we've looked at some, they get pricey.  I'm guessing she wants to go to the one in Paris again in December.

My finger is healing up (happy), but my ring is going to need some repair.  Although I might just go with the scar as proof and to fend off all the ladies looking.

When we got married, I selected my ring to be cobalt chromium. My wife wanted to buy me platinum, but what's the difference? As far as I'm concerned, cobalt chromium does the exact same job [signifying to the world that I'm spoken for] at 1/10th the price. It's a good ring. 

[Her ring is platinum, of course. I wasn't going to settle for less.]

Mine is plain old platinum, from Costco.

The original one was gold with a few diamond chips. I don't like it.

The new one has been blessed.

My wedding ring is titanium.  Cost me $90 I think.

My wife's engagement ring and wedding ring are both platinum.  I bought the diamond and it came in a plain gold Tiffany setting, and that's what I proposed with.  Then I let her pick the setting she really wanted and I had it made to her specifications.  Then we picked out her wedding band which is just a very plain, narrow platinum band, which is perfect for her because as a Physical Therapist who works all day with her hands, she needs something small and unobtrusive.  She only wears the band while working and adds the engagement ring when going out or whatever.

My wife got all new platinum stuff too, with a lot of diamonds. The first setup was gold. All of the diamonds from that are now in a platinum neckless.

The younger set is mostly not doing this kind of stuff anymore, as I understand it.

I'm not impressed with jewelry - shiny stuff

I don't own any

I'm old fashioned with gold. SFIrish--fortunately for me--really isn't a jewelry gal. Her engagement "ring" is this:
