If your significant other would be upset with a brass ring for an engagement ring, I don't pity the misery that will be both of your lives.

    Depends if it turned her finger green or not.

    Yeah brass wouldn’t work as brass polishing sucks. I’ve had to spend hours every year polishing the brass pots at my grandparents place. Never again.

    What happens if the pots were unpolished? Does it effect aesthetics or function?

    Yeah it’s (as far as I know) just aesthetic since the pots were decorative from the 1800s. I don’t think anyone cares about the aesthetics of like brass pipe fittings but for something decorative (like the pots and a wedding ring) the aesthetics matter.
