Oh, for the record, I was just talking in general. Something like these gaudy championship rings would have to be a custom commission with such a vision in mind, and I think that's why I appreciate them. It's not exactly something you can pick up at The Bay or even the Burberry store. It wouldn't even be something that you'd find at a dedicated jeweller. It would have to be something you envision from the ground up started at the CAD stage (or even earlier, hand drawings).
For myself in particular I wouldn't let society stop me, but I also don't even like the feeling of metal on my skin, so I typically don't wear anything (not even a watch the last decade) outside of big events. And even there, the cost of all those melee diamonds to bling out a men's ring would get up there qiickly. So I'm not necessarily speaking for myself. Just saying - in general I think mens' rings are ugly AF and we're basically an afterthought in designers' eyes. So I appreciate that there are designs built from scratch to be exclusively worn by men, and they're not just ugly traditional mens' rings.
