Isn't the brick wall design on the shoulder of the ring inventive?

If you scroll to the bottom of the linked page, the less expensive sterling silver versions say "Make America Great Again" rather than "Made". Wonder why.

(10,252 posts)Today's silver spot price is $15.45. I estimate the silver weight to maybe be 2 oz. But let's be generous and say 3 oz. So the silver content would be somewhere between $36 and $52 for a man's ring that sells for $250. Nice mark-up. The amount of inlaid 14k gold does not justify the $350 price. You may also notice that the one with gem stones that sells for $2,500 doesn't saw what kind of gemstones. Diamonds, zircons, zaworski chrystal, glass? A real jeweler would state what kind of gems, their weight, and their grade.
14K gold is not "classy." Sterling silver is for children. A truly "classy" ring would be, at minimum 18K - 20K gold or platinum. This thing is good for knocking out someone's teeth in a bar fight. It is strictly for yahoos. Soon to be on sale on ebay as a "collectable." The ad says it's a "Limited Numbered Series," but it doesn't say how many in the series, 500? 2000" 100,000?
You may notice "Related Items" at the bottom of the page. That's probably necklaces, bracelets, tie tacks, cuff links, scarves, etc. I wonder if his is part of Ivanka's line?

So I was figuring the same for these stupid rings.

Probably "Made" in China in the same factories that make knock-offs and 99 cent store jewelry.
I've seen better engraving on the high school class rings that use the huge cut "crystal" in the center bezel - and most of those are made in the U.S - well, at least my 14K Gold plated class ring with the big green "stone" with the school initials embedded front and center that cost me $50 of my hard-earned after school job wages in 1977. Balfor was the manufacturer.
And it was a fairly nice Art-Deco patterned ring. They at least tried to make it look classy.

Word of advice: if you see someone with one of these things on his hand, cross the street. Now.
