damn, I know a guy in Afghanistan that can make that
complete with stones too, or all just metal for a good price

I was considering getting one for myself in stainless steel.
But these can even be printed in sterling silver, or 14/18K Gold, but that last one would be crazy expensive tho.

 

[Hitsugan]

If its not gold I might consider buying one. Nicely done.

There is materials such as Stainless steel! ;-) ,and one plastic one with alumide dust sprinkled into the plastic for extra sparkles. ^^,
You would need to find what your ring size is tho, cos I only uploaded one in size 6, and thats so small that it fits nobody but me.
I will upload a custom size for anyone interested in getting one in their size.

Example of ring sizes:

There should be some guides and such on google as well.

Aww dang son, that is classy af. I might have to look into it. It'd pair pretty nicely with my TEST uniform. How would we go about getting new sizes cooked up if we already know our ring size, hypothetically speaking?

Edit: Derp, reading posts answers questions.

Here is one example of how I could scale the Ring sizes:

Would leave the top details at the original size, since the smallest lines on that part is scaled to the printers smallest guideline (0,4mm)

You need to create an alternative design that's like a stamped ring, so you don't have all these things sticking out that could cut you and other people.

Yea, I might make an alternative design, (will explore that option a bit tomorrow) ,but its hard to make the logo small enough without losing any details in the print process.

I'm thinking gold and onyx inlay on a stainless ring or even silver.

I'm going to see if a local artist friend can do something with this idea.

EDIT- I will need a pattern with the inlay areas already pre made on the ring. or I can just electroplate the top and drop a piece of onyx on the bottom. probably the easiest of the ideas.

 

[Pendali]

Ok guys! , So I made some changes to the design:

What do you guys think?
(This one has less things sticking out, and a "Manlier" base frame)

It works, but I still would prefer a stamped design over a machined design.

Now we are definitely big time, we have a secret decoder ring!! YAY!!!!

Amazing!

And it looks like if two TEST members meet, they can combine their rings together to unlock their secret powers!

Haha! That's a cool idea actually ^^,

Main Street, in any town on the planet... Two TESTies recognize each other's black and yellow clothing while approaching each other on the sidewalk. Their eyes brighten, their gaze widens.... They raise to each other their TEST-signet equipped fists and shout in a furious ecstasy (with slightly slurred speech, as is the custom) "BY OUR POWERS COMBINED, WE... ARE... TEST SQUARDON!"

With a crack of thunder echoing though the atmosphere, a searing beam of light erupts from the heavens, plunging to the surface between them, and the TESTies are transformed in a blinding flash into 12-packs of Guinness.



Aaaand... that's about it. They kind of wriggle around a little bit on the sidewalk at that point. I think they're asking for bus fare. Pretty anticlimactic, really.

Sounds like a good way to spend a Tuesday. I'm down.

Haha! I saw that playing out as a 80's animation in my head!

Hi!
So I decided to see if I could manage to make the "Test pattern" into an embed instead of an emboss.
- Made this "true signet" version that has the pattern inverted so that you can stamp it into wax and such:

It needs to be more to the surface to be a proper signet ring, wax wouldn't get quite that far up into it and the mold after stamping would break off.
