Any and all comments are welcome (maybe) and thanks in advance for C&C.

My opinion is that it's costume jewelry no matter which you choose.

If you were forced to make a choice, like I hold a gun to your head, which would you choose.

Woah, woah man! No problem! No....problem....at....all!

I choose the Dwarf one. The Dwarf one!


Put down the gun, and back away from the thread!

Thanks for the decision, now about your knee caps...

But really thank you!

Is there any chance of getting some context here? All you've done is made a thread with two links to a webstore.

He wants help in choosing one of them to buy so, naturally, we're screwing with him.

You say that, but why would he want comments and constructive criticism on a shopping purchase? The OP makes only one kind of sense: non.

I would recommend you buy neither.

Get some real jewelery in s a similar vein, it will possibly cost less also.

I was NOT impressed with the quality.

Depends. Is the gun loaded?

Yeah. I don't wear jewelry, but if I did, it would be real.

I'd recommend you buying an actual piece of jewelry with the money

If choosing between the two, I'd go for the Dwarf ring. The Human ring looks a lot like typical Gothic-esque rings people tend to wear.

What's it for, cosplaying or what?

Then I'd draw my full auto wiener dog and take them out.

Both of these look like something my daughter would get when she was 12.

There are better replicas out there. Avoid cheap nonsense. Pay for quality.

That ring has a very Socialist design feel to it. I actually expected "Commerce" to be "Comrades". The Peoples Republic of Texas.

SO is the consensus dwarf style? As far as buying the rings its for a friend and these are just the styles, I will have them cast by a 3rd party smith who does a very good job (and I happen to know him personally).

Thank you all for your comments!

Honestly? I'd probably go with the gun.

You'd take his gun?! Admit it, you're a UN undercover agent!

I do look pretty dashing in a blue hat.

Forget the rings, buy this instead: http://www.lotrfanshop.com/lotrshop/jewelry/lordoftheringslegolasnavelring.asp?ReturnPage=/lotrshop/navel-rings.asp

Even if it is purported to be a replica, why would you purchase notably cursed objects, OP?

Go for one made with 'Awesome'.

I'll take two!

How awesome is my wife?

Our wedding rings are replicas of the 'One Ring", done in gold-toned tungsten. That way we figured they will last as close to forever as possible.

And the inscription is laser-etched but is not the one from the books. Instead if translated it reads:

One ring to show our love
One ring to bind us
One ring to seal our love
And forever to entwine us

The final part of our vows was for each of us to say alternating lines of the poem as we put the rings on.

There are so many jewelers doing norse and celtic jewelery, and if you keep looking around you will find real jewelers doing so (the first links on the subject are full of cosplay gak).

Tolkien's dwarves use norse rune iconography, get a runic norse ring, made by a real jeweler, job done; and you wont have a big sign saying 'sucker' over your head for buying tasteless tripe at inflated prices.
