Pixar fans who want to tie the knot really should have something like these awesome engagement ring boxes to help seal the deal.

NES Cartridge Ring: Fancicom

Etsy artist Jess Firsoff makes NES cartridge rings. All you have to do is insert them into your loved one’s front-loading cartridge ring slot. You can ask her to make a cartridge stud out of any game, including the famous gold cart of The Legend of Zelda.

If you don’t specify your game of choice when you place your order, Jess will just make you a Mario Bros./Duck Hunt ring.

Jess normally sells the NES cartridge rings on her Etsy store Oh My Geekness for $25 (USD) each, but she temporarily closed the shop “for a few days” so she can work on her exams. I suggest you use the time to decide which cartridge you’d like to turn into a ring.

Xbox 360 Ring Is Better Than The Dreaded Red Ring

Xbox 360 Ring Is Better Than The Dreaded Red Ring

We’ve seen some neat rings in the past as we’ve seen ones that shows your love for Atari, doubles as a USB key, and a set of engagement rings based on a truly iconic exchange of words in Star Wars. A new ring we came across shows off your love for your Xbox 360, even though this is the final year it’ll be relevant.

The Xbox Ring was created by Brittany Foster of Bmf Jewelry who fancies up an eternity ring by replacing the diamonds with four mini-Xbox controllers with each controller having four sets of grouped stones, representing the Xbox 360′s controller button colors. The stones that are included in the Xbox ring contains four rubies, four emeralds and eight sapphires, four of which are yellow and the others are blue. (more…)

Xbox 360 Controller Wedding Band: At Least It’s Not a Red Ring

When I got married, most wedding rings were pretty ordinary. Sure, they might have some extra diamonds here and there, or some sort of ornate engraving, but thanks to the wide-world of online customization, we have so many more choices these days. For example, here’s a wedding band that was  made to look like a set of Xbox 360 controllers.

This ring was handcrafted by jewelry artist Brittany Foster, and is made from sterling silver with precious gems for the ABXY buttons, including ruby, emerald and sapphire stones. And there’s not just one controller on this ring – there are four, so its proud owner will be able to play a multiplayer game with the flick of their ring finger. Though you’d need some pretty tiny hands to actually be able to mash these jeweled buttons.

Check out more pictures of the Xbox 360 ring over on Custom Made. Brittany can make you a similar game controller ring for somewhere between $700 to $1000(USD). I want one that looks like a Kinect.

Saved By the Ring: Remember Rings Heat up When Your Anniversary Draws Closer

How many times have you found yourself facing the wrath of your partner after forgetting your anniversary? The reality is that some people are just more forgetful than others. It doesn’t mean that you love them or care for them any less; it most likely means that you have a pretty crappy memory.

The solution is to jot it down on your planner or set an alarm on your phone so you won’t ever forget the big day. Or you can get one of these Remember Rings instead.
Remember Rings

The Remember Ring is more than just a band that you’re supposed to wear around your finger. It’s programmable so you can set it to heat up when your anniversary date approaches. When we say ‘heat up’, we do mean it in the literal sense. The ring is powered by patent-pending HotSpot technology that will raise the ring’s temperature a few degrees so you won’t ever forget what day it is.

They’re pretty expensive though, since they’re being sold by Alaska Jewelry for $760 (USD). Maybe the price will be enough motivation for you to just put the date in your smartphone.

Cylon Engagement Ring: By Your Command

When you meet your girlfriend at a Battlestar Galactica party, you better have something special lined up for an engagement ring when you eventually propose to her. I mean, really lay some cubits out and show her how special she is. That’s what happened with Disturbedrobot, so he decided to propose with a ring that looks like a Cylon.

He took the gold and diamonds from his grandmother’s ring and had his sketches modeled in Maya. After that, it was reforged by jewelry craftsperson Craig Elliott into this lovely ring. His fiancé is a lucky lady and now this guy has made it tougher for the rest of us men by raising the geek bar so high.

GLaDOS Ring: Wear This, You Monster

Fans of the Portal series will want to open up their wallets right now, and place an order for this clever ring – designed to look just like GLaDOS. No, I’m not talking about the “I’m a potato” GLaDOS – that wouldn’t make for a very cool looking ring. But this pre-potato GLaDOS looks swell.

glados ring

It’s even got the inscription inside “STILL ALIVE…” While the image above shows a lovely full color GLaDOS, keep in mind that this 3D printed ring will come in a solid color. So if you want it to look that awesome, you’ll need to buy it in white and dig out the fine-tip paintbrush. Or you could go for the shiny steel, silver or gold plated versions for some added sparkle.

The GLaDOS ring was designed by QUATRO, and is available from Shapeways. Prices for the ring range from $17.80 to $92(USD), depending on the material you select, and you can order the ring in a variety of sizes – yet another wonder of 3D printing. And if you’d prefer a pendant to a ring, QUATRO has you covered too.

All Aperture Science test subjects are required to buy one now. For science.

The Man Ring Titanium Utility Ring is the Only Jewelry a Man Needs

As a manly man, I’m not big on jewelry. No necklaces here. Well, not unless they were of an eagle or something – with a fresh kill in it’s claws. No rings. Nothing. But I would wear the Man Ring in a heartbeat. It’s the unofficial Swiss Army knife of rings.

manly ring

It’s made from aerospace grade titanium and inside it packs an assortment of useful tools. There’s a bottle opener, a straight blade, a serrated blade for cutting tougher things, a saw for cutting plastic and wood, and a comb. All things that are necessary to live a manly life. Sure, the comb is tiny, but real men have mustaches.

Death Star 14k Gold Ring: Impressive. Most Impressive.

That’s no ring, it’s a space station! This men’s 14-karat white gold Star Wars ring features the Death Star on one side, and the Imperial Cog emblem on the other. It has a sandblasted and polished finish that even Grand Moff Tarkin would approve of.

The seller, artist Chelsea Swank has also done versions where stones are set in the Imperial Cog and Death Star. If you want, she can even add a Jedi Symbol or Rebel Alliance symbol.

This particular ring will cost you $1,050(USD), but that’s like a trillionth of what an actual Death Star would cost you. And you can’t even put that on your finger. Therefore, by my math, this ring is a true bargain.
