I'm hopefully close to being legally released from the living hell that was my marriage and now have a plain gold wedding ring that has no further use to me. Since I wouldn't re-use it...what to do with it?
- Have it melted down and make a (albeit very thin) cockring.
- Sell it as gold scrap and use the resulting money towards a night out to end all nights out.
- get one of these [url= http://www.weddingringcoffin.com/index.php ]Wedding ring coffin[/url]
- Put in a bottle, tied to a large helium balloon with a suitable message to the finder and let go
What ideas does the STW massive recommend?
do you have any kids? could it be re made into something for them?
Walk to Mordor and cast it into the Cracks of Doom?
Nah! Scrub that. One does not simply walk into Mordor.......
Melted into a little golden poop?
do you have any kids? could it be re made into something for them?
yes, two, but I wouldn't want to involve them in this aspect

Definitely. Put a letter in proposing (extra points for pic of yourself on one knee) in the bottle with your email address and see what kind of women you find! Can't be any worse than the last one eh?
What ct gold is it and how much does it weigh?

Dunno, with a strong easterly wind, might end up with some hairy arsed Russian lumberjack 🙂
What ct gold is it and how much does it weigh?
I think it's 18ct, don't know the exact weight, but it's a man's medium width plain band
My mate cast his into the River Thames, the site of his stag do three years earlier.
Mine? Well, I've been (briefly) married in the past and it turned into an abusive relationship, so I was just glad to exit with my dignity intact. There was no need for me to mark the occasion with any ceremony.
note: The scrap value from a white gold wedding band funded a night on the turps with my mates. Je regrette rein.
Might be worth £85, guessing at 5 grams @ ~ £17 a gram

You could get married?
If you chose a man you could give it to him.
I've wondered the same thing. Mines chucked in a drawer somewhere.
A little monetary value, but otherwise a completely useless thing.
There must be some bling bike part you could get it recast as - or how about a gold Mint Sauce keyring and be the envy of STW...

Mint sauce keyring?
Hmm, you could be onto something dannybg... although rather something like this

You could have your nose pierced.
Or his penis.
I recycled mine into a few ten pound notes.
Put it on a nice gold chain and wear it round your neck with some other gold stuff.

Buy a van
Become a soldier of fortune
Don't get on no plane, fool!
Recast into a very small head tube badge?
I wouldnt want anything from the proceeds so would just cash for gold it and then give the money to a charity along with ticking the "I am auk tax payer" so they can get a bit extra.
Failing that ask Jedi if you can pay with gold

... who moved to Ireland.

This has always bothered me. Is an Easterly wind one that blows from or to the East?
Weighed mine in with some other bits, went out for a very nice meal and a few drinks with Mrs Carlos mk2. 🙂
Easterly = from the East = wind blowing from the East to the West
Save it for the kids - she is still their mother, they might want an heirloom for their own wedding ring?
I've still got mine but it was a family piece so it's still got sentimental value but more mental than it was.
Use it to plate a head badge.
Chuck it in the bin. I found it most liberating.
Scrap worth, buy something you don't need.
Northerly winds are cold because the come from the north.
I had mine from a long ago failed marriage, traded it in when the new Mrs Sturdy & I bought our wedding rings, got over £100 and she got £50 for hers which is more than it cost when new!!
It did feel good to have put it to good use, I was offered about £30 for it soon after the first marriage disaster! Worth waiting nearly 20 years before doing it again it seems!
Get it made into a mint Sauce keyring.
Melt it down into a signet ring.
Melt it down into a headset spacer for the ultimate in pointless gold bling bike bits
Swallow it, then you can shit it out (hopefully), seems fitting.
I came here to suggest cockring, but I see you are waaaay ahead of me.
What are you waiting for?
Buy a pot-bellied pig and use it as a nose-ring.
Scrub that, a pig might remind you of your ex...
