I chose the narrow band because it gets full marks for sophistication, practicality & functionality.

@crystalhuman and I met just over two years ago via a Namaste group on Facebook. He's originally from the US, while I was born and raised in Trinidad & Tobago (just off the coast of Venezuela). Cutting a very long story short, he sold all his shit to come live with me and we've been together ever since.

Unfortunately due to our government grossly mismanaging our resources (like most do) and the massive influx of immigrants because of the crisis in Venezuela, tensions here have been running high & crime remains a major concern. Let's just say we've had our fair share of racism, be it from cashiers at the grocery store or the unwanted attention from men in the streets.

It is for ALL of these reasons, that I went with narrow platinum band. Though inherently valuable, it can easily be mistaken for silver and thus is less likely to draw a lot of attention, while still giving a clear enough statement of 'TAKEN.' I also bake often, so while I loved the clover & evil eye rings, having a simple cut with smooth edges makes for easy & quick clean up. :)

Thank you for the opportunity to participate @goldmatters and best of luck to everyone who entered!
