Ever since I got my copy of the book Comics Collectables and Their Values in the early 1990's I've adored vintage American comic hero rings.
I've been especially in love with the 1946 Buck Rogers Ring of Saturn.
Interestingly, there were three different heroes using this ring with different stone hues as merchandise, the other two being the Shadow and Jack Armstrong.
You can read about them on the Hakes auction site
Costing a Cosmic Ransom online nowadays and basically practising making rings I began to mess around with some of my late Father in Law's plumbing parts.
And voila! Before I knew it I had my own Saturn rings, gas rings and rocket rings! Well, sort of. See what you think.
I think my personal favourite is this simple blue and red plastic ring.
Have you any super hero or cereal rings?
