Rings are fun to make, and to wear. The more amusing and awkward, the better. Hands are one of the most visible, communicative, and used parts of the human body - naturally, they've got to be decked out in style. Nothing demure, I'm talking knuckle-dusters, eyesores, & the humorous. A hardcore tribute to the hands that sustain us.
Exhibit 1 (swoon-worthy):
"Crystal Brass Knuckles (I am going to realign your chakras motherf*****)". Debra Baxter
Quartz crystals, sterling silver
Exhibit 2 (always prepared):
Emergency ring. Artist unknown.
Viagra pill not included, according to the article; which is great, because then it becomes kind of Alice-in-Wonderland-esque. If anyone knows who makes these, please do let us know!
Exhibit 3 (the real deal):
The minimalist design is really appealing.
Exhibit 4 (raising the bar):
Paris (left); Chalet (right). Villa de Reve Collection. Philippe Tournaire.

"I don't want a diamond, babe. I want a house. Or a city." (btw, the collection includes cufflinks, too!)
Bringing this topic back down to earth - the cost of something is not always indicative of avant-garde-ness or uniqueness. Rather, it is creativity and a simplistic, focused design that sets a piece of work apart from others. Now could someone please make a ring out of their baby teeth? Morbid. Awesome. Yes.
