Suggestions for Functional Jewelry?

Posted by Cliff on from the more-than-just-pretty-facets dept.

szyzyg asks: "I'm getting married and my girlfriend and I have been looking around at rings and not really getting anywhere. I have all sorts of high concepts about what this should represent and I keep coming back to the thought 'nothing which is useless can be truly beautiful'. So I've been fighting with the idea of how to make a ring which has some use beyond simple symbolism... concepts like using magnetic minerals to turn it into a compass, or engraving some sort of measuring mechanism into it. So here's the challenge I'm putting to the Slashdot bright idea machine: How do I make a simple piece of jewelry useful? Someone out there must have better ideas."

    Not only can a napkin ring be used as a napkin holder, but it's also a good size for a midget needing a cock ring!

    Please mod me down. I never get that done anymore.
