RE: Getting an Iron Ring vs Stainless Steel

It is still possible to get a ring made out of iron at all Camp One Universities (Toronto/Ryerson, and I believe now York and UOIT as well). I graduated in 2009 from UofT and got one, and I have friends who received their iron one this past March, 2013.

A lot of jewellers would also be happy to make one if you can't get them through a university. Iron isn't so hard to work with.

There's an important difference between mild steel (which is basically pure iron) and wrought iron (which has slag inclusions); the slag inclusions in the latter actually make for significant rust resistance.
