I normally do not wear a wedding band, but decided for once in my life to follow social norms. My wife wanted to purchase a band for me, but she was dead set on precious metal and perhaps something a little on the fancy side. I wanted something practical and sturdy, and tungsten as the base metal was perfect.The turquoise is not the beautiful piece associated with Southwestern First Nation, but is eye-catching in its own right. The flecks of blue against a black, almost onyx color background is striking. Personally, I would not feel right about real turquoise since it is precious to First Nation people and I did not want to disrespect their culture by adorning my ring with something that I did not fully understand from cultural and spiritual levels.This was a nice compromise, and it was still consistent with my birth month (December) and the blue topaz associated with it. Indeed, my wife is also a December child, so the significance of the color choice turned out to be perfect.Size wise it is an exact fit. I am glad that I got the 6mm size because the 8mm would have been too heavy and thick for me.
