So as some of you know, some douche nozzle stole my wallet a couple days ago and unfortunately that wallet contained my wedding ring at the time. Really sucks, but unfortunately I'm thinking that its time for me to accept the likely hood that I'm probably not going to get it back. So I was looking online into getting a replacement ring and I stumbled across a little site called: www.shapeways.com
Basically...the site is similar to the site I use to make my shirts, only its for 3d printing...and one of the things they specialize in printing custom rings based on 3D models you submit.
Some examples:

http://www.shapeways.com/model/919604/ring-song-of-time-size-13.html?modelId=919604&materialId=23
http://www.shapeways.com/model/545082/mass-effect-thermal-clip-n7-ring.html?modelId=545082&materialId=54
So I got to thinking....why settle for a cheap imitation of my old ring or something anybody could have when I could put my 3D skills to work and design something completely unique! Ideally I want to design one or two bands so that I have one to give to her as an anniversary gift, and one for myself to replace the stolen ring.
Now....the big question is....what to do......asking around to see what ideas I can come up with.
I'm open to doing a nerd/gamer theme of some kind, but the trick is in finding something that we both love enough to have on a ring we wear forever. She's crazy into doctor who for example...me not so much. Off the top of my head we're both into game of thrones, the assassins creed series (I cosplayed as Ezio for our wedding), Halo, Mass Effect, DC and Marvel, anything and everything Joss Whedon.
So...what suggestions have you TYM?
P.S. No lantern rings....too predictable.
