Gallium (Cheap however quite rare) is a liquid metal at room temperature, however something that could possibly keep this material in solid form (Ice, a fan) could be quite artistic, as the receiver of the ring will know that they're literally wearing liquid metal.

[@Darknimbus3]

[@audis4299]

[@Darknimbus3]

Moosey Oh, neat!

[@quintenmessemaker8931]

Moosey a fan does not cool and should have no effect on whether gallium stays a solid at room temperatures or not. fans merely appear to cool because we humans produce heat and a fan blows this heat away.
