.. And with our powers combined~!!  Grin

Awesome design. I would buy one in silver since I want to wear it for long time if I do get it. Prob will interest people who see me wear it and make it a great convo starter for bitcoin.

Thanks heavyb - I'll be sure to let you guys know when I've put them up for auction.  Otherwise, feel free to make me an offer I can't refuse!

Cheers!

Thanks, Yankee!  That's just the sort of response I was hoping for!

Given the current exchange rate, I figure I'll auction them off separately and start the bidding off at around .6BTC each to cover international shipping.

Cheers!

Greetings bitcoin community!

Since having my curiosity about bitcoin recently re-awakened (I looked into it about a year ago and could kick myself for not getting involved back then!), I have been pondering how to get in on the action and earn me some coin!

So, I designed a bitcoin ring and have 3 prototypes that I had printed at Shapeways (my shop address: http://www.shapeways.com/shops/toadstool). I was thinking of putting them up for auction on http://bitcoinhop.com/ but wanted to gauge the response here first.

Here are some pictures:

The diameter at the widest point on these rings is just over 18mm, so they're quite small - just fits on my pinky finger, but I've got fairly big fingers.  They are in 2 different materials - 2 in stainless steel, and the other in antique bronze glossy (see the shapeways material guides for more info).  The photos are taken pretty close up - they don't look quite as rough in person!

If there is a lot of interest and I don't have any major issues converting bitcoin back into GBP I intend to revise the design somewhat and get some rings done in sterling silver (these should turn out much prettier - more detail).

I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
