Some Bling For Chemistry Dorks


We’ve blogged about witty element earrings sold on Etsy and periodic table socks.

Now INN designs has introduced some Periodic Rings that up the ante. By several thousands of dollars. But what else do you expect from a solid silver, gold or platinum ring? If you’re serious about pledging your allegiance to chemistry, perhaps this is the way to do it.

They kind of resemble men’s signet rings. So I’m thinking you get three in one: a clever periodic table reference, an artistically sculpted hunk of precious metal, and something to press into hot wax to seal those scrolls you use to invite people over for some weekend wine and cheese. Oh and also: Forget the plebeian brass knuckles; these pricey suckers will definitely leave a dent in your molester’s eye socket.

signet rings/ stamps are normally the reverse indentation to avoid getting wax stuck. so only 2 uses i’m afraid.


Some yes, but many no. In fact most of the ones I’ve seen are carved innies and not outies. That said I’ve never seen them used so I have no idea how much wax gets in there. Perhaps if you remove the ring while the wax is still a bit warm and pliable it doesn’t get stuck?

I’d offer to experiment but without grant money to buy handfuls of signet rings I’m a bit stuck here.


I think she means they are the mirror image, so when you imprint it’s the right way around.


If you’re short on cash, see if they do a Sn-50 or Zn-30 ring…


Very Cool Designs!
