Trophy Ring

Knotch Up Your Score With This Anti-Engagement Ring

— August 7, 2008 — Fashion
Women get excited about engagement rings and being in love ... and all that good stuff. But most men are not like that. We look at engagement rings as a cage that limits our ability to flirt and have fun. So it's about time we have a cool ring of our own to celebrate being single.

The Trophy-Ring is a silver-coated gold ring for the single man. The bachelor can mark his trophies on the ring to reveal the gold beneath the silver coating. The more trophies you 'conquer', the more gold you get (so rude, but really, it's the product, not me).

Designers Valentin Engler, Marius Morger, and Daniel Grolimund describe the Trophy-Ring, “A silver-coated gold ring allows the single living man to mark his trophies, just like the gunslingers did on their colts.”
