I Would Do Anything for Love, But I Won’t Do That

August 1, 2012 by WendyB

I design all kinds of engagement rings for my customers. I’m happy to do a traditional solitaire, but I’ve also done mixed-metal stacking rings ….

Susan’s redesigned engagement ring. Click for more information.

Heather’s engagement ring. Click for more information.

… and a white-sapphire ring that looks very different from a conventional engagement ring.

Lori’s engagement ring. Click for more information.

Basically, I would do nearly anything so that you have a ring you love. But I won’t do this.

Click for original source.

Yeah, if you want to have a finger piercing, I’m afraid you’ll have to find a different jeweler. This isn’t in my area of expertise! Also I don’t have medical-malpractice insurance. Anyway, thanks to Coool-Stuff for alerting me to this style.

      Makes you wonder if there could be medical complications, right?

    OUCH! Do not Want!

    Oh my word! That looks so painful!

    ack! needs an alert for the squeamish!

    Your rings, OTOH, are divine.

    Oh man, I didn’t expect to see THAT when I clicked on to this post. Why would someone want that? It’s super ugly…just don’t know why anyone would think that this was a good idea..

    Yipes! Well, at least you can feel comforted knowing that it probably wouldn’t last long. Dermal piercings often get rejected by the body, if not right away, then eventually.

    Eeeek! I find the symbolism troubling. And the opportunity for infection.

    Ummm…Ouch!!!!!

    That looks as if it would be constantly painful! no thank you. Maybe they need a YOLO pair of rings to match?

  12. Nancy DaQ says

    August 1, 2012 at 8:54 pm

    Oww! That is just plain nasty looking. Hell to the no.

  13. Christy Lorio says

    Looks like photo shop to me. Not to mention that would NEVER heal right.

      I think you’re right on both counts!

    It’s funny, my anti-spam word for this comment is “bewilder.” I was gonna go with: Oh. My. Word. But “bewilder” works, too 😛

    Oh, I saw this today and was going to share it with you! But, you see/read EVERYTHING, so you didn’t need my help to point it out. This is soooo gross! Ouch. I think it’s only appropriate that my anti-spam word is “disturbia.”

    Your designs are stunning – that finger piercing is gross! I feel lightheaded just looking at it. Get me some smelling salts.

    Symbolically, this is waaaaaay problematic. Practically, it is worse. “This bad idea oozes badness from every pore.”

  18. Alice Olive says

    August 2, 2012 at 10:30 am

    Ouch! I had to rush over that image. Ouch, ouch, ouch.

  19. Kait says

    August 2, 2012 at 11:49 am

    That is just nasty.

  20. Jean says

    August 2, 2012 at 1:31 pm

    Ummmm….yeah. I’ll pass, thanks. Now YOUR designs?? Definitely a go.

  21. Gracey at Fashion for Giants says

    August 2, 2012 at 3:29 pm

    No. Just no. It looks gross and unsanitary. I think it made me a little sick to my stomach.

  22. Jill says

    August 2, 2012 at 5:00 pm

    I just find that repellant!

  23. Lara says

    August 2, 2012 at 6:42 pm

    It looks kinda photoshopped but NO doubt someone’s done it.

    That’s an infection waiting to happen. I don’t understand what the extra loop/ball near the 2nd knuckle is for. Maybe to stabilize it from ripping out of your skin?
    GROSS.

  24. Eileen Goddard says

    August 2, 2012 at 7:07 pm

    Hahaha, wow. You know, I wouldn’t be surprised if variations of this have actually been done on people…. I love unconventional ideas, but that is pretty gross!!

  25. Kathy says

    August 2, 2012 at 10:01 pm

    Awww, cum on!!! Never is the new what? Promise me when I get engaged you’ll arrange to make this happen!

    • WendyB says

      August 2, 2012 at 11:31 pm

      I think you’d need a doctor to perform this delicate operation! I never went to medical school.

    gotta say, tho I am not a fan of engagement rings generally, I LOVE that one for lori, really dark and mysterious feeling.
    as a fan of piercing, I gotta say I am NOT a fan of the finger piercing– seems really difficult to heal since you bend that part of your body all the time and it is hard to keep clean. I mean, power to whoever can rock it, tho

  27. a stylized hysteria says

    August 3, 2012 at 8:33 pm

    Yikes. People will literally pierce anything they can, huh?

  28. Clint says

    August 4, 2012 at 1:09 am

    You won’t believe how much I cringed when I saw that photo. For someone who rarely has nightmares, I think I’m going to have one tonight after see that!

    • WendyB says

      August 4, 2012 at 7:32 pm

      It definitely gave me bad dreams!

    Good Lord.
