a ring with an attitude

I'd consider one in .40S&W that would be a cool ring.

I would like to have one also in either .45acp or .308. Strings if your sister decides to get enough interest and make some I'm in for one.

Anyone know a jeweler with a sense of history and humor?

my mother is a silversmith. i bet i could get em made for alot less than 100 bucks each, if i made a lot of them. problem is, if its only a few of em then the price is ridiculous. the mold to cast the rings isnt cheap unless you make a ton of them.

as soon as I have some kind of firm numbers, I'll start a new thread about it. Gonna be a bit though: LOTS of other things in the pipe first...

The wax shouldn't be hard at all. But as rustymaggot said, getting just a few made jacks the price. I'll see if I can't get a wax worked up in the next couple weeks (rusty, if your mom wants to run with it, go for it)...

I would also be interested. Maybe one in 44mag.

What kind of price range are we talking. Around $100?

I've got a jewler near me who basically said that they can create ANYTHING. I'll see if I can get some prices. I know I want one...

I'd be down for one in .357 sig or .40 S&W.

Or maybe .45ACP would be a better size. I'd have to think about that.

I would order one if the opportunity was present.

How about a rotating belt buckle?

Some interesting stuff here.

I would like one with an unfired, but disabled primer, 357 mag case inlaid, not cast in silver.

What I'm thinking of would be something with the ring body in silver, with a brass casehead soldered in. Unfortunately, I am NOT gonna mess around with trying to disable an unfired primer. Calibers I already have availabe to use are: .45acp, .45 Colt, .44AMP, .38spl, .357 mag, 9mmP, .380, 5.56mm, and .30-06...

Others could be done, but someone would have to send me brass to use...

im in the process of researching how much it would cost to make these. they would be sterling silver rings with the real cartridge face, not silver mold of it, and i would be able to do them with undented, inert primers.

out of curiosity, what size ring would be the most popular here?

id be in for a 7.62X54r and could easily send some cases

i dont know my ring size, but does the term "small girly hands" mean anything

hoppy,

the issue is that i would either have to make a ring from scratch to send to the casters to have blanks to set the emblems in, or order a blank ring and mod it and then send it to be replicated. id have to have a mold made for each size. rings can easily be made larger a little, but not much.

a start would be to go down to a jewelry shop and have your finger measured.

If someone get's this going , I'm in . Would like to use brass from my own though .

I would be interested in one in 30-06 or 5.56.

armoredman,

Now, how many guys are going to need multiples, and wear the correct ring with the caliber of the CCW of the day?

My question is whats wrong with a bunch of guys getting together and throwing some meat?

Put me down for one in .357 mag. How soon are you going to need the ring sizes?

well, since its so much work for each size, id want to know what the most common size would be and do that. seems like 357 magnum is pretty popular. and i found size 10-1/2 ring blanks in a style i think looks good. so unless people speak up about what size they need then ill probably pursue the size 10-/12 and go for the bezzle size for the 357 mag. ill have to cut a different size bezzel for each cartridge, unless some are the same, for example, i think 30-06, 308, and 762x39 share the same diameter cartridge base, am i correct?

10-1/2 is my ring size.

357 mag is good.

.45 ACP!!!!!

Rusty: I think I've got a way of making a universal ring, that would accept most pistol sizes (and many rifle). Give me a lil' bit to work on it?

This is a little side note, but still on the main focus. If you are looking for some other cool gun jewelry check out M&A Parts' website. They have earing with 9mm and 45acp case heads on em. Another idea that i have been thinking about asking my jeweler to do is 45acp case head cufflinks. just my .02

How about gold plating the casehead? And can i get one in 7.5x55?
