Kevin's Watch

How many people here own a white gold wedding band? And of those that do, how many are actually married?

On that note, has anyone bought or made any covenant related "props" of any type?

(BTW, For those who're interested, I've just this minute finished reading White Gold Wielder! Huzzah!)

My wedding ring contains white gold, but is not entirely such. I doubt I would have known such a thing existed if not for SRD, but that's not why I chose it. I just generally prefer a "silvery" look than regular gold, and the pattern (involving alternating bands of white and yellow gold) was way cool.

I do, but I'm not married. And it has "Be true - KW" inscribed inside. That was kind of a half-finished plan instigated by Cate, for Watchers to get white gold.

Since I'm allergic to jewlery I'm not allowed in this thread, but if you're interested in some more perspectives look here as well.

I first read the Chronicles in high school, and I was inspired to order my HS class ring in white gold as a result.

However, my numerous attempts to get any white fire out of the ring all ended in failure...

Don't give up! It has to work eventually.

(I have one, though it's not inscribed. Neat idea. And no, I'm not married.)

Mine has both white and yellow gold in it.

It was my intent to buy one but alas we went with platinum instead. I guess I changed my mind somewhere along the way. White gold fades pretty badly from what I hear. I decided that I should be romantic with my wife instead of a book.

An eminently reasonable position. Books are nice and all, but real folks come first.

Nope. If it means something to you you are much more likely to value it and what it represents.

Yeah, my wedding ring is white gold (my wife and I both prefer it to yellow gold). No sign of being able to summon the wild magic with it, though.

I have one!

Emma! Get to London tomorrow morning and join us for our Fest!

Mine is yellow and white gold. Mostly white with a yellow patern through the center of the band. No wild magic yet. I do wish I had inscribed "Be True" in it like CovenantJr has. I wanted solid white gold of course but I had to compromise. My wife has since read TCTC and wishes I had been more persistant in convincing her to get white gold. She's a bigger geek about it than I am now. The only time she ever curses it's "hellfire and bloody damnation".

am married but ring is stainless steel, broken in the center with a bitty little diamonchip sitting in the gap. (i have never been able to figure out how they set the bitty chip in there, weird, bizarre ring)
HOWEVER, my class ring (1976, Lafayetter Sr High, Lex, Ky) IS white gold.

I got married last year. My wife and I both have white gold rings, each of them has 5 diamonds embedded in them - thanks to her late Grandmother for those. White gold looks cooler than yellow gold (especially with the diamonds), and it reminds me of Covenant, and his loyalty to Joan, whenever I look at it.

On a related note, I was still finishing up my re-read of the Chronicles, getting ready for Runes when we went on our honeymoon last year. The One Tree is forever linked to our honeymoon in my mind now.

I don't mention the connection to my wife though, as she finds SRD's writing to be "pretentious". *sigh*

No other Covenant related props, although if the Covenant movie is ever made, I'd love to keep the Staff of Law as a souvenir.

I'm not married but I wear rings anyway. None of them is yellow gold since the color doesn't suit me. One of the rings is white gold. I got it as a child many years ago before I had even heard of Donaldson. The ring is plain except for a decorative V-shaped angle in the band.
