One caveat with the exotic metals⌠Make sure that youâre never in a situation where the ring needs to be cut off of your finger.

Thatâs one advantage to a memory alloy. With the right alloy, itâs extremely strong and tough, but can be tuned to deform at low room temperatures or slightly below. So you could make a ring that you could get off by cooling it down a bit and then get it back to itâs shape when the swelling from the car door goes down 
Seriously, how is this not a thing?

My ring is just silver, but it is anyway a coiled snake that is not closed. I have thin fingers with larger knuckles so a conventional one would either not get over or rattle a bit.

And not because stone setting and lapidary is a work of art or anything.
Heard of someone who tossed (ârecycledâ) a Macbook Air wrapped in newspaper. I think he was a guest on Macbreak weekly or something.
Iâve used an iPhone as a bookmark. (I didnât lose it, but when surrounded by a lot of books, thereâs still a possibility it can get lost or tossed in a careless moment.)

My husband and I have this black hole where a pair of football tickets and our plane tickets to Cozumel have disappeared. We never wrapped them in tissue, but we think the newspapers played a part in the game tickets.

He was a really sweet guy. They did a great photo essay on him in the Washington Post. I was very sorry to hear about how he died, though not surprised as he had spoken often about carrying a gun but I knew he had no training with it.
