My new ring!

I just wanted to thank J. Arthur Loose for a fantastic job on my new wedding ring!

My original was lost while shaking sleet off my hands this winter and my wife insisted on buying me a new one.

This picture is not my actual ring as mine is lined with silver rather than gold. The pattern in the damasteel is a little prettier in mine too!

The fit is perfect. I had the white gold original sized four times, and it never stayed right. It kept loosening up on the compression.

It's already taken beating what with my new workshop and grinder builds, but cleans up nicely. J knows his stuff and is a man of many talents!

Thanks brother. It means a lot.

Jol did my wife's & my 10th anniversary rings three years ago. His fit was great and looked even better. They were a set of custom gold ones with knotwork.

I've been considering getting one of his damascus rings for my right hand for a while now. This isn't helping Andy!!

Very nice!
I wish I would have known about damascus and mokume rings when I got marriede. Maybe I would have gotten one of those. No complaints though my ring is very nice.
