One factor could be what your future profession and what sort of setting you will be working in.

I work in an office environment and interact with all kinds of different clients, so I went with natural because I think it fits the bill a little better than antique does.

I know both (OA and Corps) who have natural, agree with part 1 of your post, though.

Natural is the only way to go. It will antique itself over time.

Just my opinion...

Not many of the New Army wears the old style.

Would be interested in a real report from the Ring Office.

Natural looks like something you get out of a vending machine at a grocery store.

Real old Ags call it "inked". Never heard of "antiqued" until ten years or so ago. I know that uninked is popular, but it looks a bit feminine to me.

You can do antiqued but in 50 years no one will be able to tell.

So we can conclude natural is for the ladies. Antique for old army.

^98 was the 1st year for natural?


My mom is c/o '83 and she got a natural ring.

I work in an office environment and didn't want the "flashiness" of natural.

Bottom line is that it's personal preference.

1998 was the first year balfour offered natural finish. Prior to half-hour winning the exclusive ring contract, natural was available from a variety of ring makers as were various gems


So natural/uninked is pretty old army

Interesting breakdown for the years listed...

Back in1987, the "rose" (which is essentially the same as modern era "natural") was all the rage - except for the CTs.

Balfour has had the exclusive contract since late '40s.

Not natural. Probably rose. Or she got it stripped. Or she bought a replacement after 1998.
