Cool Rings to rule them all... part 2!

by Alvin




Okay, so I fought the great, time stealing giant Assignmentus & defeated him atop the peak of "I Owned You 2010" - gaining; in the process, all the spare time stolen from me.  

So to celebrate, I've peered into the abyss information highway that is the Internets, & have sourced some pretty nifty examples of finger jewellery that will get you setting trends, put you on V.I.P. lists, and generally kicking ass & asking question later.

So tell me, what do you think of...


Dreamhouse rings



As a wannabe architect & building designer, I would think this would be perfect for such a person practising professionally in said industry.  Something egotistically grand and flashy to complement that bespoke tux, worn at that black tie event where your up for nomination for that coveted & prestigious: Pritzker Award.

Inquiries for this hand treasure can be directed to fine jewellery maker: Philippe Tournaire.



Serpent Nail rings



Now here's something different: If you're that Mark Anthony, wondering what to give your dear Cleopatra on her birthday.  Look no further!  There's a little irony in that - but hell - buy one for each finger & you've got a set that'll make other Egyptian, reincarnated rulers envious any moment in time.

Interested?  Hop down to Bijules & get that interest looked at.



Portrait Projection ring



I went to a wedding yesterday & remembered this ring I found out about ages ago.  Definitely an awesome engagement or even anniversary ring of sorts.  Or if that isn't your thing, you can apply different uses for such a novel invention.  I'm thinking off putting an image of the bat symbol in the ring, then whenever crime is afoot - shine a flashlight through it and the monocle; against a rendered wall or thick, very, very low hanging cloud cover, & presto!  The Dark Knight Rises!

Ask nicely & you may receive from Luke Jerram.



Antique, Ring Pistol


How awesome is this!  Sadly it's an antique (a modern replica of original, french? pistol rings from the 1800s? or earlier?), so it's definitely not in production any more, i.e. hard to find and come by unless your the sort that has the Spear of Destiny, Excalibur & 70% of the true Noah's Ark in your own private museum.  

Though this ring is very much a working firearm that served as a spy weapon & personal defence tool (I assume), it was far from perfect: the powder burn of the firing would hurt the shooter & the accuracy would be terrible.  But who cares right?  All for the glory of looking the Classy, 18th or 19th century Bad-Ass!

So if this has hooked you, and you would sell your soul to get one of these... 



Digby & Iona are selling a sterling silver imitation of sorts called the "Black Spot Pistol Ring" that has a real moving trigger & chamber with an included brass bullet to further look the part, but (for obvious reasons) does not actually fire - so you'll just have to leave that duel of honour for another time.



Stun ring


So it looks like I'm gonna end with a trend, pistol ring kicked ass right?  But if manslaughter isn't your thing, these babies make beautiful alternatives.  Considerately available in a gold and silver plating, these rings are able to disperse a close range spray of pepper spray, spray... spray, spray - Sorry, tongue tied - at a press of a trigger at the side of the ring.  James Bond material huh?  great self-defence idea for those late night joggers who risk it bit by bit by going further into those dangerous tracks, as well as anyone who has a genuine stalker ready to pounce.

A one use item - refill cartridges & the ring in question can be sought at StunMaster.



Theme Angel Dust ring


Stunning & unique, I don't see too many ring designs that incorporate wings, so this is a sight that is different in design.  Women can wear it with flawless victory, though men (there will be a few) will find a way to make this work for them.  The actual band is behind the finger, leaving a clean band less look at the front; wings hovering on the finger by magical means it seems!

fly over to Sowat and tell em I sent ya.
