Suppliers sell these between 0.80/2.00$ US as well. If it were half price, sure, but at that price? Sorry. As much as this ring is cool, 165$ is just too much for a stainless steel ring.

I found his old wedding band and had it sized...one place told me 8.5 and the other told me 9...what are your guys' opinions on what size I should get him...he has relatively small hands and am trying to go about this so he doesn't find out.

Still, for an essentially 'spinner' ring made out of steel, $165 seems a tad bit rediculous. These rings look pretty interesting, I saw them in the back of a popular science I think.

Make sure of your ring size because there are no half sizes to fit more comfortable...let's work on that OK? Will buy another when they come out in half sizes. Great craftsmanship and time went into making it I'm sure,...Thanks a million I received my size 13 ring today……a little snug but still fits.

There was something wrong with their email too. I think it's all solved. As I said, I really like the product. I think it's going to do well. I did get awfully unsettled when I didn't hear back from them and there's no digit on my hands that this ring will fit. I am looking forward to the new one fitting me properly. I'm glad that their communication problem seems resolved. Peter,

It's nicely made and I really like it. However, it doesn't fit. The company told me that I could hold on to it while they needed 4-6 weeks to get larger sizes in stock. It's now well past that wait. What's more, they don't answer my calls or emails. The warranty is useless if they won't talk with the customer or issue an RMA within the first 30 days. I called within 24 hours of receiving my ring to let them know the ring didn't fit. I couldn't return it without their RMA. Something very questionable is going on in Kinekt Design.
