    Material Choice for Wedding Ring

    Im looking to turn my own wedding ring in the near future and im trying to get some cool ideas for material. I figure this is the place to come! Im looking for something somewhat unique if anyone has any ideas

    So far im considering a Mi-Tech machinable tungsten, or molybdenum. Inconel, Hastalloy, etc are out, to difficult for me and my equipment. Im using an old Clausing lathe.

    Thanks!
    Andrew

    I have a Damascus ring, but I should warn you just as I was that strong materials will be hard to cut off in an emergency were the ring may cut off blood to your finger.

    Thanks guys, just had a suggestion from someone to try and shrink fit two metals together. Might give it a whirl for a prototype.
