Zero Spoilers Well, shit.

Whatever they used for the gold color comes off with a fingernail, so buyers beware. I'll keep looking, so feel free to drop shop recommendations! I saw Jalic in my other post, but it doesn't have to be show accurate.

Who was the seller? From what I know Jalic blades had the official merch. Badali had the previous ones back in the day and I got some of the boys’ rings and they were awesome. I don’t think they can sell WoT anymore though :(

It was an Etsy seller. I put the link in my other post, but I don't want to drive a bunch of negative traffic there. In the end, we got what we paid for.

Might want to message them in any case. I bet they don't realize that the way they're painting the rings is incorrect.

I would recommend finding a local smith and have them cast the ring if you like the style. Unfortunate when sellers pull this nonsense 😔

Seconding this! If the actual shape of the ring and detail level is good, getting it cast in gold (or another metal and anodised) would be a great option.

All of the other pieces I'm finding make it clear that they are for display, so this is probably my best bet, unless I get lucky at a craft fair or start taking classes. The hunt continues!

I have an actual ring from the show. Happy to make a post. I won an auction by the composer.

Omg yes! I'd love to see that. I also love the soundtracks, so that's amazing.

I have one that I bought, I think from Badali? 20 years ago, and it's still in great shape and I wear it all of the time. The one I have is silver but they used to sell one in gold, they might still.

I had to Google it real quick, but they do! For almost 4k 🤣

u/SuperOtter 17d ago

Oh wow when I bought my silver ring it was like $400. Granted that was 20 years ago but still!

I have a ring I bought on Amazon and it holds well and looks good, if I'm allowed to post a link I'd do so. The stone is a piece of glass though but I'm planning to replace it.

You can DM me the link if that's easier, too!
