The Killer Diamond Engagement Ring
2008-02-26 07:17:00 The Killer Diamond Engagement Ring Designer Wong makes diamond engagement rings that can kill you. I?m not joking, this design by Tobias Wong is really called ?Killer Engagement Ring?. It is a sturdy diamond ring whose point faces out, turning it into a potentially lethal weapon.The razor-sharp diamond point is set into the ring so it can?t get knocked out when you smash someone?s face in, and the edges of the ring are really soft so it won?t cut into your skin during the pounding. It?s romantic because it means, ?Will you marry me? but it also means, ?I can?t always be there to protect you so if some jerk won?t stop bothering you, puncture him with this.The diamond sharp edge will cut skin down to the bone with a minimum of 1 karat stone - but the larger the stone the deeper the cut.via More About: Engagement ring
