I dunno Doug, a NUTS Ring sounds kinda uncomforable...... LOL, I think that's a C#%K ring you're thinking about...but you could be right. ;D I have two of the bus rings on order. I'll report back when I get them. My brother makes jewelry as a hobby and can probably duplicate these rings. Mark, that pewter stuff looks very cool... - DP |

The good thing is it is only $21 for the set, and $5 shipping to Canada How can you go wrong ? The last buckle he did looks like this   |

Update....
The rings arrived yesterday. They arrived in genuine "ring boxes". That much I didn't expect. I tried to take a photo of the ring with my camera, but the shape and the way the light reflects off of the curved surface makes it very difficult. VW's photo is much better than anything I could achieve.
The ring is about 1cm wide so that the Bus image can be easily seen. It's also a little heavy... but I haven't been wearing rings on my left hand...so it may just be that I'm not accustomed to it.
Other than that, the box says "silver"...so maybe it's Genuine SILVER... The retail price was $58 each.... I'll have my brother look at it for the silversmith's stamp.
Pretty cool ring... I would think that Bus guys would really like something like this.
As I said, I think my brother may be able to reproduce this for less money.

take it outside in the daylight and use your macro setting. the flash is too much for a close up. Usually I cover part of the flash with my thumb or finger to fix that  |

I might do that later on... but I do have another bit of information.
The ring is sterling silver...not any old cheap junk. And, sadly, my brother can't reproduce them. Not yet, anyways.
