We fit together like an 8-prong connector
By Never teh BrideKirk pointed me toward a collection of unusual rings created by designer and metalsmith Jana Brevick.
The above wedding ring set was created from sterling silver and serial plugs. See what they look like fitted together by clicking the pic!
And these were created using gold, sterling silver, and plugs with threaded sheaths. Again, see what they look like fitted together by clicking the pic.
Sure, they are a little bulky, as Kirk remarked, but they could make a sweet present for a technically-minded couple looking for something to set them apart.
And speaking of wedding rings, mine finally arrived today. It’s a good thing, too, as we were all set to cancel our order with our rather slow-going jewelrymaker. We even bought a set of plain gold bands so that we wouldn’t be left in a lurch if she didn’t come through. But here we are, scant days before the wedding, with a set of wonderful matte four-color, six-twist mokume gane bands. Yay!

Somehow these rings bring to mind an old Flanders and Swann song called Design For Living, even though it is about excesses in interior design:
But though 7B is madly gay
It wouldn’t do for every day
We actually live in 7A
In the house next door.
IOW, I think these would make a fabulous symbolic exchange, but I find it difficult to imagine wearing one for any length of time.
Still, full points for imagination.
(scratches head)
Yay! for the arrival of wedding rings!

You’re not kidding, Twistie. I’d snag them on simply everything!
