I'm seriously considering it...I'm hoping they'll be able to send a better picture or a scan & some more info if I contact them about buying.  Even though the pictures aren't very good, the ring looks pretty good... I'm concerned about sending my money to someone and not getting anything, or getting something crappy, though. ;; I don't trust people.

Yeah, I am seriously considering it too, for a purchase later next year after I pay all my bills for school and make more money at work
Another reason is that I saw there were one or two people who said they were interested in buying on that comm...gonna wait and see if they like it, how it fits, etc, and if the quality is worth it for $170. Better quality pictures would be nice too...I'm just psyched someone made a Black Rose version. I mean, wow.

(I would say that even if Mikage wasn't my favorite character XD)

Just to let you guys know...

I spoke to the person selling.  I don't know that I'll be getting one, for various reasons...  But the individual said that if you keep your eye on the original LJ post, there will be new pictures at some point in the near future.  And there's been at least one order -- the buyer will probably post a testimonial in a few weeks.

They don't look too bad, but why is the enamel red?

I've ordered a White Rose Signet from the seller (who also happens to be my realtime friend), and I've seen the working prototypes of the rings IRL. I did ask as to why the seals were red; the maker (not the seller) said that he was copying the color from the series. Makes a bit of sense actually; though he did say that they were just samples, and that the red seals would be changed into a better shade of rose or pink.

Plus, I did read that someone was (or at least that's what I thought I read) looking for photos of the original Rose Signets sold in Japan. I did a little researching, and well, here's what I found.

White Rose Signet (Shogakukan) 100 x 97 pixels
Black Rose Signet (Shogakukan) 100 x 98 pixels
White Rose Signet by Shogakukan - Close Up image 300 x 256 pixels
Movie Signet (MOVIC Japan) 400 x 321 pixels
Movie Signet by MOVIC Japan - Solo image 100 X 104 pixels

I don't wish to be (nor sound) biased, but in my honest opinion, the re-created signet looks better than the one from Japan. The details are far clearer and solid --- the Japanese make seems like the crest was soldered, not engraved, if you take my meaning.

But of course, that is only my opinion; others are free to make their own judgment. *smiles and bows*

I agree a hundred percent. I really want one, but the only ones I could ever find were the Movic ones, and I hate the way they look. I think they're awful, despite the fact that I like the seal in the movie better. I like that it's pointy, heh. The bf was asking what I want for christmas, so I'll have to send him the link.

I've been considering getting a handmade ring as well -- I believe I do have the fingers of an infant, as my MOVIC ring requires me to put tissue paper around my finger to thicken it up before wearing.  I'm also partial to the idea of actually being able to use it as a signet for imprinting on wax.

I suppose I'll have to wait until clearer pictures of these new rings, with proper pink enameling, show up.  I'm certainly interested, but the red color is off-putting.

Yeah, I love red myself...  Though I've always had a dream of a rose signet inlaid with rose quartz. 

One of the things it would be difficult to see, even if there were better pictures, is the relative size of the ring to my own hand.  The seller shows it on the middle finger, which looks pretty natural.  But the seller has nice hands and I don't think it would look too big on the ring finger in that picture, either. 

I'd like to wear it on my ring finger, but I have weird, stubby, skinny ring finger...

That sounds sort of gross, doesn't it?  Haha.
