Geocaching Ring?


Recommended Posts

Those high school class rings companies could probably whip one out.

Actually, probably not. The company I work for has a high school ring division, a college ring division, and a jewlery/award division. The cost to make a die is extremely expensive, from what I am told, and most do not work on single ring jobs.

 

If geocaching.com contacted them though, and they would have hundreds of orders, it might be a different story.

 

Working with independent jewelry designers might be a better aproach.

Hey now! No talking about ring jobs in this forum.... :huh:

I could just see it though - "I signed the log with my ring stamped in wax..."

Okay, this is not a commercial post.

 

My wife is a professional jeweler. She designs and repairs jewelry for a living. She has designed and produced rings for special groups. Since I was reading this thread, I decided to ask her about it. She said she could produce signet rings out of sterling silver for about $80.00 a piece, and with color (enameling type in the top) for a bit more. Again, I'm not trying to drum up business or anything, I just have access to the info. :D

Sounds cool. Can she make a gold ring? How much would that be? How long to get this done?

Well, she is still asleep, but I can answer some of this...Yes, she could make it out of gold...I suspect that the cost of that would depend on the price of gold at that point. The first one would take a couple of weeks I'd guess anyway... depending on the design used... wax has to be carved etc. ...design has to be approved... once she has a design, then it usually only takes about a week, I believe, to finish one.

Perhaps in addition to getting your self a ring, you could get your girl friend one!  :D

I was already thinking of that. Any idea what size ring Julie takes? ;)

Just my $0.02--but if you ask her for her ring size, and then deliver a geocaching ring (no matter how nice) you will be in soooo much trouble...

Make sure when you develop this ring that you don't violate the Groundspeak policy for use of the geocaching.com logo. I would love a geocaching signet type ring if I could just convince my wife that it is a necessary purchase. :(

According to the GC web site, I don't this will be a problem.

Make the ring a mirror image of the logo, then you can use it as a stamp (or as a wax seal as someone else mentioned).

 

You can also punch someone in the forehead with it and leave a nice impression!

Just wondering-am I the only one in here old and twisted enough to be remembering the scene from Caligula right about NOW? :(

You are pretty old if you remember Caligula. Was he as bad as Clinton?
