No, that's 24 karat gold. During WWII when the Nazis were taking over Norway, there was one or more 24 kt. gold prizes. In order to avoid confiscation by the Nazis the prize(s) was/were dissolved in aquarega and the solution kept on a shelf. The Nazis never discovered the trick and after the war it was returned to the pure gold state and ... I found the story: "Dissolve My Nobel Prize! Fast! (A True Story)" https://www.npr.org/sections/krulwich/2011/10/03/140815154/dissolve-my-nobel-prize-fast-a-true-story
I may do without the diamonds, this ring is really expensive. This can be done with a rose gold interior, which isn't visible when you see it. You can't get this combo in Platinum though, its all in 14k white gold. This is the Cartier for comparison:
I'm from the old school where a man's wedding ring ideally is made into a simple ring out of 24 kt gold. Had mine for over 41 years and love my more each year. As you might deduce I'm quite smitten by her. All the rest, no matter how beautiful, are just pretty and perhaps cute but not the same as the only love of my life.
Only in his eyelid, nose and nipples. However, I like his tattoos of the Death Head the best. Also like his tattoo saying "Hell's Angels Forever".
I paid my debt. This is a true story. When I went in the Army a young man who was the younger brother of a friend of mine went in the same day. We wound up in the same barracks and became friends. He was caught in a house that had plenty of heroine deals and he got caught there, not using but being there. The judge gave him a choice, go in the Army for four years or go to jail. When we got our orders for further training beyond Basic, I got my orders for 7 months of electronics training at the "Country Club of the Army", Ft. Monmouth, N.J. and he got MP school. So where did he wind up? As a guard at Ft. Leavenworth military prison. Me? I got Vietnam. Everyone that went to Vietnam learned they were also in combat during the Tet offensive of 1968. Did my share which is why I was immune from four years in the active reserves when I got out. Incidentally, at that age I was an explorer and loved different cultures. I adored Vietnam and wanted to live there when I got out. My wife is from Korea and I have learned a lot about the Korean language and culture, also their food. I'd live in Korea if I could. I love everything about Asian cultures and food. I was taught the polite way of doing things in Korea. There's a way to exchange drinks, handshakes and Koreans, just like the Germans, use honorifics in their language. My dialysis screws up everything. I go to my local VA hospital for excellent treatment. If I went to Hawaii, which dear God I'd love to do, I could not get dialysis at their excellent VA hospital. The rules say I'd have to go to a private clinic for dialysis, pay for it myself and then request reimbursement which I've had previous experience with. I had to fight tooth and nail sending letters and numerous phone calls getting reimbursed after a year of fighting with them. No thank you.
