The only rings I've ever liked are nipple rings, The Lord of the Rings, wedding rings--I collect them--and Ringo Starr. I love these silver Lego rings, though. You can customise them putting any brick you want on top.
A skull ring with 2GB of RAM squeezed inside. Scary. What else is there to say? It'll go nicely with your skull-and-bones motif keyboard and mouse... but probably won't cheer you up on a dreary winter's morn. Particularly when you find out one will set you back $US145.

I'm not a fan of rings, but if my wife was a scientist, I would probably get her one of these Ag, Au and Pt Periodic Rings. Made in, you guessed it, real silver, gold and platinum, each has the element's sign, atomic number and mass. Cool and pretty, but awfully expensive: US$205 for Ag, US$2,200 for Au, and US$6,500 for Pt. Fortunately for me, she's not a scientist. And yes, this whole post was an excuse to put the hilarious Flight of the Conchords video after the jump.

This "Killer Engagement Ring" flips the diamond so the pointy side is facing out. Diamonds being super hard and everything, this makes the ring a pretty serious weapon, capable of cutting skin right down to the bone. It can also be used to scrape the shit out of car doors if you want to leave a message for somebody. It's terrifying, really, but love can be scary sometimes. [Yanko Design via BoingBoing]
This ring gun is all old-timey, and there's not a lot of info out there about it, which is too bad. I wonder how it actually works, and if it can fire shots without breaking the finger of the wearer. I also wonder how safe it'd be to carry a loaded gun around on your finger, as you could have some pretty horrible accidents fishing around for your keys in your pockets. But I suppose with bullets that small it'd be tough for it to do all too much damage. What do you think, bloodthirsty, gun-loving American commenters?
This handmade, sterling silver ring from Analogue Aesthetics features a built-in microphone and a standard 3.5mm plug. Surely you can imagine the sort of fun that can be had with a device like this—plus, if a verbal jousting match with a heckler turned ugly, you have the satisfaction of knowing that a punch to the face with this baby on would be devastating. Available for $US105. [Product Page via Boing Boing Gadgets]
I can think of no better gift to a loved one than a picture of myself. But ink, even in its timeless fashion, often fails to capture the true essence of my visage. That's why the Contura ring appeals to me so. I merely send in a profile shot and luxury gift supplier Fitzsu will make a ring from the shape. A stainless steel version will run $US625—of course non-precious metals would never do—though the more suitable gold version will certainly weigh down the pocketbook at $US5,730. But knowing that I can pass the God-given gift that is my face to another this holiday season? How can one place a price upon perfection? [product via gadgetlab]
I've proposed three times in my life. Once was with a traditional diamond ring (it went well). The
