Once again I'm launching a private sale for Goons only. This year it will only be for two weeks (Nov 25 to Dec 9) and will feature special pricing on all of my newest jewelry (and a pretty amazing deal I put together just for this).

I ask that you sign up for a password this year, and they will be emailed out at 9pm EST on the 25th. I won't be using these signups to send marketing in the future.

It's just my way of saying thanks - In my first few years the sales I made to Goons were the difference between keeping the rent paid and not. Answering questions here is a lot of fun for me.

Johnny, how do you handle shipping internationally(specifically UK)? I have a feeling that having to pay Import Tax is going to make using your services prohibitively costly.

Holy crap Johnny some of the pieces in the sale are amazing. The missus is particularly enamoured with the Tourmaline Earrings.

Questions about mixing rings of different carat white gold:

I bought my girlfriend(guess I should say fianc�e now) a 9ct White Gold Engagement ring, and now we are looking at Wedding Rings.

Can she wear a 18ct White Gold Wedding ring next to it? Or will the softer metal be worn away by the engagement ring? Also does how well the rings 'fit' together change this?

I have put a lot of early thought into an engagement ring and now I'm like "damnit, wedding ring." Do many people have a cool (bigger, fancy) engagement ring and a simple wedding ring and swap them out based on utility? IE going hiking take the wedding band, wanna go out use the engagement ring?

Most women wear both. Also most women tend to go for a plain wedding ring, which is much cheaper than an Engagement ring.

You can get Wedding rings which have a notch or bend in them so that they fit snugly against the Engagement Ring, these can also be custom-made from a mould of the Wedding ring to get a good fit.

Sorry to raise this again but it got skipped over. Is it safe to mix 9ct White Gold and 18ct White Gold rings on the same finger?

This is pretty much what we did after talking to the other jewelers in town. We're going to be getting her that ring at the price originally quoted.

Now I need some help finding a ring for myself. I didn't much like any of the rings we looked at for men. I'm leaning towards something heavy. The larger and more ostentatious, the better. I figure this way it'll do a better job of reminding me I'm married That seems to be the exact opposite of the current style. I'm currently leaning towards a plain tungsten ring (because I like how heavy they are) if I can't find something I really want. Anyone got any designs or pictures of large/ostentatious rings? Bonus points if they're made out of tungsten or they've got something crazy awesome like an LED light built into them.

I'm going with a Titanium Wedding ring. It's pretty chunky and they do some cool designs with the metal, but it's really light. Bonus is that they're really cheap(which is just as well as she's having Platinum). They're also pretty hard wearing, which is a big plus for me as I have a habit of scratching jewellery. It's kinda like this
