I agree on both counts hehe ... they are pricey AND you should make them so we can get them cheaper  :icon_twisted: I'm still mulling over just getting the silver one for myself .... we just changed our rings last anniversary to white gold ( I had JUST started my company when we got married , so they were cheapo gold ones that had REALLY sharp edges ... esp. if I wasn't paying attention and tightened a bit into my screw gun by pulling the trigger and holding the chuck - making the damn ring spin fast enough to burn/cut me  :o)

Actually, the first thing I thought when I saw it was "Hmm.. wonder if Yama could make me one for less".. so if you do it, let me know, I want one.

Yeah they are pricy. they shouldn't be any more than a plain ring if you aske me, ok amybe a little more.  Novelty isn't worth 250 to 300 bucks......They still look cool though.  I have a 14k gold ring laying around that I want to melt down.

im goint to my supplier tuesday this coming week, and ill see if he can duplicate the pattern in his casting equipment, and then figure out what these would run, but im 100% sure theyd be far less than those quoted tho

Awesome. Cuz the one I wanted was like $90.. I have no idea how to measure my ring size though... but I could be down for one of these, depending on price.
