I don&#8217;t plan to sell any of the original silver set separately, so if you&#8217;re looking for a one-ring look, this is your chance. Like the other swear rings, the band is adjustable, meaning one size fits most. The starting size is size 6, but you can gently bend the band open to fit a larger size or squeeze it closed to fit a smaller size.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A lot of people have asked me about getting the swear rings in gold. I will happily plate the original four-ring set with 14K gold. The gold-plated set costs $525.\u00a0 If you want the asterisk gold-plated, it will be $150. If you want any of these rings in solid 18K gold, you&#8217;re my type of person &#8212; the type with a lot of money and the good taste to spend it with me. I will do any character by itself for a custom 18K gold order. Contact me at wbjewelry at hotmail dot com for any gold-plated or gold orders.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If you need inspiration for styling your Wendy Brandes swear rings, check out gorgeous blogger Solo Lisa&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sololisa.com\/2010\/03\/todays-outfit-shirtdress.html\" target=\"_blank\">latest post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">UPDATED TO ADD: The first asterisk ring was sold in under an hour to gorgeous reporter friend Amy!
