@ljs I had some kind of an allergic reaction to my first wedding ring. My finger became all swollen and I had to cut the ring =).

@ljs
I've been told that a good workaround is to wrap the palm side with thread.

@vitaut bro how? Was it not gold? Gold is super non-reactive

@dougmerritt ohh maybe I'll try this. I need to get it resized or buy a replacement. 6 week to resize and wife not happy with me not having a ring for that time though...

@ljs It was white β€œgold”. As it turned out they add other metals to the alloy to make it white.

@vitaut yeah of course, I mean any ring will be an alloy anyway of course so the other metals can fuck with you I sort of thought that the second I sent it :P

Perhaps white gold specifically bad for reactions though.

Anyway sounds non-fun. Though it'd sort out my issue if it happened to me?
