May The Force Be With You

You’re Going To Want These Swanky Star Wars Rings Even If You Aren’t Getting Married

by Jill Pantozzi | 3:32 pm, January 22nd, 2013

These rings are a thing of beauty. Etsy seller SwankMetalsmithing, aka Chelsea Swank, has been aprenticing with her father for over a year. They use a Computer Aided Design process to create the intricate designs you see here. According to her profile they “use recycled metals and we strictly deal in conflict free/fair trade stones.” But what makes Swank’s work so exciting is much of it is based in the Star Wars universe. Check out the designs that would not be out of place in a wedding ceremony but would work for anyone looking to make a geeky fashion statement. If you’re willing to pay the price. The Star Wars rings start around $325 but can reach over $1,000.

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:30 pm, November 17th, 2012

Joe and Emily met at a tattoo parlor a few years ago and their love story has culminated in a Star Wars engagement ring. Nothing could make us happier. Joe teamed with Paul Bieker of Paul Michael Design to come up with the perfect ring for his lady. Click through our gallery to see the project go from concept to the actual popping of the question, which, if you were wondering, happened on Halloween (hence the costumes). And then watch the video to see the proposal in real time.

Portal Rings: Hopefully the Wedding Cake Won’t Be a Lie

by Jamie Frevele | 3:35 pm, April 25th, 2012

We’ve featured rings inspired by Portal before, but these are probably appropriate for a more special occasion. Created by Etsy seller 17thbit, they are 8 mm wide and come in sterling silver. One version reads “You Have the Portal to My Heart,” the other features the companion cube. So obviously, they don’t have to be wedding rings, but they sure could be. If that’s your thing, you lovey-dovey gamers, you. More views of the rings after the jump.

For A More Civilized Age

A Simple Wedding Band for a More Civilized Age

by Susana Polo | 9:43 am, March 27th, 2012

When we last saw Homer Liwag, he was making some very bold moves. Moves like giving your girlfriend a ring box with a tiny bag of sand in it, and telling her that Indiana Jones got there first, in order to stall for time as you designed and commissioned a beautiful Indiana Jones inspired engagement ring. The results of that gambit were something we were happy to post back in January.

But, generally, the engagement ring isn’t the last ring that’s involved in the whole getting married process, and so recently Homerliwag shared with us a link to his latest creation: a Star Wars themed wedding band that’s a little bit lightsaber, and a little bit Vader’s chestplate.

Circuit Board Jewelry For the Green and Technical

by Jamie Frevele | 4:21 pm, March 14th, 2011

Recycled jewelry is the best. Finding beauty in discarded junk, then making it wearable, then getting to explain what it is … that’s awesome. And if your PC was the bane of your existence, then this is kind of like killing it and wearing its wretched pelt, only without the cruelty. Unless you think your computer has feelings.
