Default Boone Rings

I'd just like to give a big thumbs up to Mr. Boone. We just got my wedding ring and it took a week from ordering it, to show up at my doorstep. The quality was insane. Better than I expected.

I've been really looking closely at the inlay, and I think it is genuine carbon fiber. When you move the ring around, you can see the depth in the carbon fiber.

More like $465.

Still beats gold or platinum. Completely played out, and with gold at close to $1000/oz, I don't even want to know how much a gold ring is.

nice rings, but you know you could drop a few grams if you drilled holes in them.

edit: sorry, i thought this was the roadie hangout.
