Hey All!
As many of you know I wear my Sterling Silver Bitcoin Ring on my pinky (picture below). It's a great conversation starter and I always get people asking me questions. I even had an encrypted BIP38 private key engraved on the inside and keep a few Satoshis on it for fun. I've had it for 3 years or so, it's been through my arrest and a bunch of other crazy life events.
Due to my love of Steem, I decided to commission a Steem Ring. I'm making this for myself but can easily make one for anyone. I'm not sure on the cost yet, but it would likely be on the lower end of a few hundred dollars, depending on the price of silver.
This is the design I chose, I was going to add the words Steem below the logo but I like this better. Below are also pictures of my Bitcoin ring to see it in real life.
What are your thoughts on the design? Would you be interested in a Steem or Bitcoin ring? What would you engrave on the inside?
I will do my best to have one made that can be a giveaway for SteemFest!
-Charlie
Hi Charlie are these rings still available?

I love this idea. I've been talking to my friend who's a jeweler about something like this, but I'm not a jewelry guy so I dilly-dallied. Glad to see someone's moving along with it.

I would write the current steem price. I think the future me would get a kick out of that.
This seems like something that could be done through Shapeways. I have designed rings before, and I'm thinking I could design something similar.
(designing...)
OK. I wrote up a post showing how I came up with a similar design.
In that post is a Shapeways link for a size 11 ring. I think they have gold, platinum, bronze, silver, and metal plated, along with other materials.

There should also be a ring for when you become a whale. You know, a super-whale and part of the elite club.
I'm just thinking out loud here, but perhaps it should have a whale on it. Feedback welcome.

There should be one for every creature: Minnow, dolphin, and whale.

This idea of having one's backup rescue fund locked into a code on a ring is a very cool one. When the lawyer comes, you ask them to give it to them for safekeeping, he's got his payment sorted out.

It's also incredibly insecure which is why I'm guessing he only keeps a few satoshis on it.

Hi Charlie, I can get these manufactured in bulk here in South Africa. A business partner of mine is a designer for jewellery investment casting. South Africa has a wealth of mineral resources and we can support a training school for local underpriviledged communities who can manufacture at competitive rates. Once you have your order list let me know, I can make this happen for you and more! Titanium and Stainless options also possible.

Hi @charlieshrem, If I may offer a design suggestion - I think this would be a better ring if the steem symbol was slightly rounded in relief. As it is, it is like someone cut the pieces out of cardboard or a metal sheet and I think if they were raised and rounded to make them more 3/d it would be a much better design. Just my 2 cents.
