i made these ABS-rings some time ago –> http://jewelry.productaday.com/cliprings.html
they have kinda similar concept.
but as this is a 2d shape i think it would be even more
appropriate to lasercut them in acrylic.
it looks more precious than abs and is way cheaper…

This is really heart warming and is what fabbing can promote because it does mean so much more when there is thought and love put into the whole process. I am a jeweller and have had many ‘lovely’ commissions. So now the concept of individuals designing things that hold so much more meaning is definitely here. Flynflood, you can work intuitively in 3D – our system uses virtual touch and the haptic device is also a 3D mouse so interaction is more natural as it taps into our real life experience with 3D. You can see a video here http://bit.ly/10AcqB. If you 3Dprint the ring in wax you can get it cast in gold, or go to Shapeways and get it 3Dprinted in steel – but I’d still prefer the original if it was me!

Though it’s not 3D printing, there are jewelry shops out there that specialize in custom crafting pieces based on whatever design you can come up with. This guy lives in my neighborhood: http://exceedingperfection.com/

It’ll get you custom, and probably a certain amount of geek-cred, but it’s not 3D printing unfortunately. The best for that would be the new NASA process of laying down the metal layers by melting them off the stock rod using an electron beam. Now THAT would be cool.
