Do not believe I would ever wear such a thing, but would be curious to know how it felt against the insides of your other fingers. Do the "bulbs" rub the skin and irritate it?? :D Title: Re: Mandelbulb ring - 3D printed in Sterling silver (92,5% silver) Post by: KRAFTWERK on October 14, 2013, 08:34:43 AM Hehe, very good question, and the answer is YES, the mini minibulbs are so small that they act a bit like sandpaper... O0
But I guess they will be "polished" by my poor fingers over time... I am wearing it every day now and hope for it to get a nice "old silver" patina soon - it is too shiny yet.

It looks very big on the image I agree but in reality it looks very balanced on my finger, and I love the weight of it, and the feeling of mini mini bulbs...

With a big risk of injuring yourself though...

I am afraid that your fingers will most likely wear down before the ring does, and/or develop severe calluses. :D As to the patina, that depends on the amount of acid in your body, which is why I cannot wear silver for very long, it soon turns black. Wonder how much it would cost to have four of these rings made, but all joined together, as in the following attachment: |
