Hi all :)

I've a question to put to you knowledgeable One-ringers :) I'm sure many of you have a replica of the One Ring, and would hope you would give me some advice on which one I should get :) So far I'm thinking of these two:

http://www.wetanz.com/the-one-ring-gold ... n-carbide/

http://www.fboutique.com/gold-one-ring.html

The Weta one looks great, lovely display box too, but it would cost me approx. €90 incl. delivery :shock: The f-boutique one also looks great, and incl. a replica chain from them (http://www.fboutique.com/the-chain.html) would cost me about €42 with free postage.

I'm wondering which you think looks more accurate to the movie. Also, I would like to wear this as a pendant (not constantly, but regularly) and am wondering about the gold plating, would it scratch and wear off? and if so, could I protect against that?

Many thanks for any advice :)

the first link has a more "real" version of the ring..at least so it seems by looking at the pictures
the second one seems like a better deal for me..its a bit more shiny and since it comes with a chain its very good.

They have a large cost difference..maybe thats because the 2nd's ring metal parts aren't so good as the first ring.

P.S: I don't have a replica of the One Ring. Only the ring of Barahir :oops:

Thanks for the quick reply :)

I'm just afraid of the gold plating on the Weta one wearing from the chain, whereas I've researched the Gold zirconium nitride plating used on the other one, and its meant to have excellent wear-resistance :?

then seems like you answered the question yourself. Just take care of yourself and be strong or the ring will corrupt you. It wants to return back to the company,back to its master :P
