Merchandising The One Ring?

But it’ssssssssssssss my precioussssszzzzzzz! :smiley:

And I mean to have one! :mad:

So I’m gonna ask Santa to bring me a sterling silver one. :wink:
Just as a memento of the film, you understand.

I’ll probably put in a drawer and will it to my grandson, Quaso to pass on to his children.

JK! :wink:

…is their command.

I can’t vouch for them, but it looks like this is what you’re looking for. A bit expensive, but nifty.

CheapBastid, that’s just plain cool. I wonder how they get the letters to glow? The next thing I wonder is who’s going to get me one for a “birthday present.”

It looks like they did the letters in Teflon or the like, so that soot wouldn’t stick to them. But there’s no way I would buy a Ring of Power from someone who can’t even spell “their”.

Spoofe - I’ll have to check in the book, but even if Aragorn kissed Boromir when he (Boromir) was dying, I’m sure it was only on the brow and not on the lips.

A ring that shows the letters when you expose it to fire is pretty nice, but then you have to clean it each time! How about a ring with tiny LEDs so that all you have to do is press a minuscule button to make the letters glow?

A manly man wouldn’t want either the One ring or the Elf rings. He would want one of the dwarf rings.

Arnold, but wouldn’t a manly man want a ring that was given to . . . well . . . man?

You can buy a tiny little one-ring on a bookmark of your choice at Barnes and Noble… for a buck! Values have plummeted since the third age ended.

Maybe someone will come up with a “One Mood Ring” where the lettering comes and goes as your mood changes?..Timmy

I first met the man in 85 or so. He was selling Tolkien jewelry then. I still treasure my Gollum Ring (I can’t find it on the site-it’s a sterling silver Gollum, curled into a ring-as though he was climbing your finger). He also sold a Gandalf bracelet at that time ‘Yes, that’s Gandalf. Most people don’t know who Gandalf is. So I lie and say it’s Merlin.’

The man is a genuine Tolkien fan. The film has just allowed him to sell a whole line of items instead of a few.

NOTE- I am in no way affiliated with Badali jewelry. I just had long talks with the man at many fairs. Heck of a guy.

I went and had my index finger sized and it’s a size 16! I’m not morbidly obese, I’ve just always had fat fingers (which makes it difficult to chord my git-box, btw). I checked the sites and they don’t offer anything in a ring that large, and I sure as hell don’t wanna wear it on my ring finger or around my neck!

Maybe I’ll get one of the swords and carry it around with me everywhere I go, just in case I run into some Orcs! :smiley:
