UBB.threads Forums Uniform & Accessories The Honor Ring Forum 'Disappointed'

Okay here is the results of an hours effort with a fine grade sand paper then a good silver polish.......

I know what I have done is not to everyones taste as it has lost some of the details but I love that worn look. I got a little concerned how it scratched but was relieved that the Goddards silver polish took out all the fine sand paper marks.
Thanks for a nice ring Hapur. I think $80 for a hand made silver ring and personalised to boot is pretty decent value.

Oh and I actually really enjoyed 'fine tunning' it

If you get a ring that's a little tight, or need it a little bit larger, this ring stretcher works fine. It's a lot better than getting strange looks at your local jeweler.

It's called the Rathburn Ring Stretcher and is about $14. at most jewelry supply shops. I'm sure there are many other devices that do the same thing,but the price is right, and it does the job. Takes all of about 3 minutes. Don't use it with a ring that has stones,enamel, etc but it's perfect for these metal military rings. Since I bought this, I've enlarged 5 of my rings and a couple for friends.

Like you I like the worn look.

Nolan,

I believe the way Jim is wearing the ring was the way ordered by Himmler. The intent was to remind the wearer that he should be ready to die for the Fatherland as opposed to send a message to someone else observing the ring.

You are correct Billy that is the correct way to wear the ring.
