For a long while there, Ballistic Metal was releasing new and interesting designs regularly - and the Hellfire is one such interesting design. With a thick band of modest width as the base, this brushed aluminum ring features 3/16" holes drilled along the full length of the band on its centerline. This gives the unmistakable impression of a rocket pod on an Apache attack chopper (which is also loaded out with the Hellfire missile).
The Omega, weighing in at over half a pound, is a worthy if not somewhat expensive addition to any collection. Gear Essentials knows how to produce a comfortable ring, and they’ve done an outstanding job as usual by producing one of the heaviest stainless steel rings available without going full custom. The comfort factor comes thanks to the generous (larger than 1/2") diameter of the wire’s width as well as the fact that large and round rings generally do not pinch while being worn. Finished with a handsome polished finish, this is a great looking and wearing ring.
As a hobbyist maker and builder, I’m always looking to repurpose or make my iwn custom rings from whatever is available. In this case, a neat looking bracelet from ebay served as the base of the design. The trick was measuring carefully to establish the right circumference for the perfect fit. Once figured up, all it took was cutting the bracelet at the end, drilling the inside of the receiving piece of metal to give a clean place for glue to adhere, and using strong glue (gorilla glue) to secure the shortened bracelet. Voila - a custom ring perfectly sized to fit!
