Here's a ridiculously expensive Master Chief ring photo

Ask yourself the following question: Do I love Master Chief? Have an answer yet? Good. Now, if you answered yes, I want you to think really hard about exactly how much you love Master Chief. Is it enough to wear a ring bearing his likeness? Do you need your Halo bling?

Weta in New Zealand has you covered if you do. The above ring is made of 100% sterling silver. Before you run over to the website, credit card in hand, I should warn you that it's almost two hundred (American) smackers.  Maybe you hold the Spartan in high enough esteem that the price tag won't make you flinch, but that's a bit too much for my blood.

If I were going to spend that kind of scratch on a piece of Halo-themed jewelry, I'd want it to be a miniaturized version of an actual Halo. It would have to be glowing in bits and have a carefully balanced eco-system on the interior. And, when I took the ring off my finger at night and placed it on my nightstand, all of the little critters running around on the ring would see my baleful eye and know the true face of God.

I mean, this ring is nice and all, but it doesn't really compete with the perfectly reasonable standards I have for my accessories.

Actually, I know someone who would want this and could purchase it without batting an eye...damn rich fraternity bros. Thing is, then we would probably want a matching ring of John Madden's head for his other hand.

For almost two hundred Americans? No thanks.On the other hand, that Halo ring you described would be worth a that kind of money and then some.

@CharlieKun

I know some girls who would probably accept.

@Sexual Chocolate

If you brought 8 of them, wore them then punched Xbox fanboys in the face they would be labeled for the rest of the week. I think you're missing the big picture.

A miniature Halo would be a lot cooler. As long as they etched in the outside and put some landscape-esque patterns on the inside it would look pretty sweet.

Then again, for $200 I'd almost rather have a bracelet of that than a ring.

Then again, I wouldn't buy it anyway.

Kinda' cool piece of artwork, and it'd make an excellent collector's item, but dang...$180 is too much for me, even if the price is fair (considering it's silver).

You could fuck people up with that ring HARD. If I was rich I would buy this.
