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.
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!
