That, is cool.

I'd bone her.

The perfect complement to a pearl necklace.

This is either a repeat or really old news.

So is it Pete and Repeat, or Old News is Really Exciting?

I always give "bone rings" *wink wink*

Needs pictures.

Are you sure this is ethical? What if the guy or girl cheats and gets the wisdom teeth from someone else?

And anytime you miss me baby, you can kiss my coccyx.

Back in my day we just called them cockrings.

Got a love bone for submitter's mom right here.

The married name of the woman in this story is going to be "Harriet Harriss Harrisson".

What's next, Booger Bracelets?

/Whatever you have discovered if it has a name would be called green.

Oh Edmund can it be true, that I hold in my mortal hands a nugget of purest GREEN??

I'm not sure how I feel about this one, it's kinda cool but geez. . . spend a couple of grand on normal rings and use the rest for the honeymoon.


/even crazier give it charity or something
//thinking these people have too much money on their hands

"Tobie Kerridge, a British Royal College of Art research fellow and co-inventor of the idea, said it would cost about $11,700 to produce each ring."

$11,700? I picked up a Bone Ring at the auction house for 5 silver...

/+1 to nerd points

That isnt bone scubatuck . . . IT'S SKIN!

I'd rather have an $11,700 diamond. Once they break up, it would be virtually impossible to resell the bone rings.

Yeah. Of all the "bones" I want, this ain't one of em.

But what if she does like the meat?

/Mary Moon?

This is so stupid it HAS to be fake.

Now that's commitment! I got nervous when my girl wanted to get a block buster card together.

Easier and cheaper to use a Dremel and a T-bone steak, what woman is going to know the difference?

Try getting $11,700 back from a diamond you bought for that price. Won't happen. Still, you'll probably get more than a bone ring.

This was also covered in Wired back in August:

That Ring Is So You

1. Extract bone chips from jaw. Rinse.
2. Place bone cells in ring-shaped bioactive ceramic scaffold.
3. Feed liquid nutrients and culture in a temperature-controlled bioreactor for six weeks.
4. After coral-like bone forms fully around scaffold, pare down to final ring shape and insert silver liner (for engraving).

5. Profit!

Hey, we do stuff like this at work. Except we don't make jewellery with it. Christmas tree ornaments, but not rings. I don't think we could make them for much cheaper.

the removal of wisdom teeth and the extraction of a fragment of jawbone

If I'd known that, I would have done this when I had my wisdom teeth removed, they had to trim a bit of my jaw bone there too.. Now I'm sad.

Definitely true. I would never want a diamond that expensive anyway, as I'd be too worried about losing it. If I ever get engaged, I don't want the guy spending any more than $1000CDN on a ring - it would be a waste. $11,700 would be a really nice downpayment on a house - heck, it would pay off 20% of my mortgage right now.

Too bad this technology wasn't around for Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton.

Is it weird that I've always thought that if I lost a limb I would want to keep any intact bones for jewelry etc.?

/necklace of finger bones would be cool.

Can I use the bone ring to enhance my necromancer's Poison and Bone Spells?

I disagree. Diamonds are an investment... if you know where to buy them (and where to sell them). If you buy retail, you get to pay 2.4 times the wholesale price. I paid 10K for my wife's ring... you can figure out what I would have paid in a regular jewelery store- or at Birks or Tiffany's (probably 3-3.5x).
And Maritimegirl: it was worth every penny.

that's... disturbing...
<my fiancee>

removing pieces of bone and then wearing them ontop of skin causes the skin to form around the bone. your finger would literally grow over the ring and try to weld all of the bones together, as nature intended. they would wake up the next morning and all of their fingers would be welded together.

Um,... ok...wow... wierd.... just.. wierd. Sounds like alot of money and shiat for a "biological exchange". Heh, I can give a "biological exchange" for free, well, except for the price of lube.

Gross, just disgusting and yecchh.

Gah, be a tool why don't you Mugato. Chances are something you use every day is some how distantly supporting some sort of terrorist/criminal/thug.
