This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
omg, I'll commission you if you commission me! :D
My cousin has a whole collection of swords/daggers to choose from. Purr...

It's indeed lovely, but the signet ring goes on the left hand! Obviously you don't take a contract with Ends of the World seriously.
I'm sure that my two hands are equal, so it's the same!

I would SO VERY MUCH go in on the ring deal!! I'd want two though: one normal duellist ring and one Black Rose duellist ring!

It would be pretty hard to pull off a white or black, you'd have to go with silver bands, which are kinda between the white Seitokai rings and the black ones. I don't think any of us can drop the coinage it would take to get a real metal emulating the black. (I believe titanium would do it...)
If I were a bottomless pit of money I'd get one made with marble but really...

I don't know, you could probably get the outside of the ring lacquered in black... we would have to see what the options were.
Offline
I'm wondering how it would last under a lot of rubbing that way from use...but if you were going to do that you could make the ring itself out of something cheaper than silver.
Offline
Probably... like I said, we'd have to see what the options were. I'd really like a ring of my own.

As far as I knew you can go to a jeweler to adjust the size of a ring no matter if it's small or large.

I'm in for this! I wish for a ring of beauty!

o.O if i commission you and you commission me...there is no profit to be gain besides cool art work T_T
*tries to give yasha drawing as payment*

My point exactly. What's wrong with cool art? I'd give the standard Paypal-doesn't-support-my-country-so-I-can't-pay excuse, but they recently added Croatia to the bunch, so it doesn't work anymore. Bleh.
You should be more specific, like... I'll draw naughty Touga (and/or Akio - can't leave out the other admin) dōjinshi as payment. That should twig a reaction. d:

Yasha and I are too poor to carry the financial load of the rings being distributed in trade for things. I assure you, if our financial situations were brighter, we would happily take payment in naughty pictures of Akio and Touga. As it is, if we were to do such a thing, it would have to be an everyone-pays-their-way affair.
As for paypal, they can kiss my ass. I'd rather get money orders in the mail. The way god intended.

Sey requested more pictures of my ring, so I thought I might as well post them up for all.
I told you it doesn't fit me anymore.

There is kind of paint for details black colored, perhaps the ring could be filled with that

I'd go for one if we found a way to get it in black... titanium anodizes quite nicely, and it doesn't rub off.

*drools*
Although, I want the Movie Ring and my own custom one to be worn around my neck o.o'

I'd be willing to go in on one, though it depends on the timing if we actually did this. Right now I'm saving up for an $800 dollfie..so I don't have a lot of money to spare! Getting a ring like that would be awesome though.

If the price came down a bit I'd totally pick one up. I could probably swing 75 or so -maybe a hundred.
I happen to have a good friend who is a silversmith (he's also a potter, armor-maker, sword-maker, general metalsmith, tailor (somewhat) and amazing painter, pencilist. I fucking hate him. And a former bartender), I could see if it's something he might be able to do, although I don't imagine the price would come down too, too much...
By the way, Gio, you've got gorgeous hands. You should definitly model.
Edit: Oh, and he's a ridiculously talented musician. I really hate him, when he isn't plying me with art supplies and alcohol.

If anything, I'm afraid the price will go up
Silver prices have gone up since then, I believe... on the plus side, if we can swing it at all, we're going to have a lot of time to save up.

Such a prety, pretty ring...
It'd only be a matter of me finding one available to buy, hmmm... >>
Heh, try explaining that to friends and family who'd question the thing and how much it costs. But pretty!
Offline
If I got a ring like that, I'd have to get a complementary duellist uniform to go with it and my budget really couldn't hold that...
Offline
I bought that ring for my birthday last year. I have small hands, so I was surprised that the ring didn't fit my finger at first. I had to get it resized. Thank goodness it didn't stretch the crest or remove the color... That would have been a waste of $100.
I think that I might have preferred a Black Rose Crest, but that would have gotten scratched up much more easily.
Offline
I've been looking for a crest ring for years and years, I once found a signet ring from the movie but it was about $200 at the time and not my size. I would so be into the ring deal, no cost shall effect me for I am desperate.
