I e-mailed the gentleman a while back, and he said that his version of the ring starts at $680.

Gold is getting really expensive.

I really dig the Lighter Side ring, as well.

I had mine made from "Near Gold". It's heavy and looks like gold, rich and yellow - but it's much less expensive. Unfortunately, it also tarnishes.

I don't wear it (The only Magnum related jewelry I have is a vintage 1967 GMT with a "Pepsi" bezel - I lucked out and found it at a pawnshop.), but keep it in my studio with my Magnum wallet, Al Kaline card and two dollar bill. I keep meaning to scan and change the serial number on the bill but haven't had a chance.

Oh - And thinking of the wallet - I'm an artist and designer (http://www.russellwalks.com), and I've made a few other "fillers" for it - A torn ticket from the Surfing contest in "Dream a Little Dream" for instance, and an unused Army-Navy ticket from the 83 game in Pasadena. ("No More Mr. Nice Guy")
I'd be happy to make t
hat stuff available if anyone's interested in it - You'd have to print it out yourself, of course...

Anyway, here's my ring:

Hi, Walks. I just wanted to say that your website is fantastic! Love the layout and design. And your illustrations are incredibly good! You have a lot of talent. I especially like your Star Wars work. Amazing!

Thanks - I did the layout, design and coding myself as a way to learn Dreamweaver - I wanted to sort of evoke those old sci-fi movies. As a point of interest (or boringness, depending on your point of view), I packed the site with little references to the things I love - everything from The 80's era Lakers to Hitchhikers' Guide. That's one of the fun things about doing it yourself!

I would love to do some Magnum painted stuff, and at some point I will!

Again, thanks for the kind words!

Very nice ring, did you have a jeweler make it for you?
I used to use Nutra Gold but it has sense been discontinued, so I can not make anymore, it was a great sub for the real gold.

By the way I would be interested in your Magnum wallet items.
Thank you

@ Walks

I am a classic Sci-Fi and Star Wars fan so I really loved your site.
Just gave a look, I will explore it as soon as I find the time.
BTW, I am a designer too (not as good as you!).
Bravo!

This would be absolutely fantastic if you did! Don't forget Higgins if you do.

Every time I see that Ring I want one more and more, Maybe one day I will get one but I have to win the Lotto first , Because the cheapest I have seen one is for 600 bucks And there is no way in the world I will be able to afford that at one shot, I wish I could find a Place that would do a payment plan (kinda like a monthly bill) But every place that I have seen You have to have the Money up front so Maybe Just maybe One of you good people might know of such a place if you do please help me out Thank you
