I have commisioned my ring today, and have requested that it be worn down or aged. This is because I would encounter problems with my work possibly displaying such a proud skull. So this one will be interesting to see.Of course itwill be engraved with my particulars so no threat to the collecting community.So Hapur feel free to update the forum with pics :]

What is "commisioned" ? Does that mean you bought one or are requesting a sellers fee?

I ordered a ring and received it. It was too small as it was my mistake. I sent it back and it never showed up so i paid him a second time and received a picture of the engraving but still have not received my second ring. i placed my order the same time Jon did??
Hope to have it soon but from my first ring i liked the look and feel of it! Worth the money (I hope)???

Got me ring yesterday. Its ok, a little small. For the money I paid, I'm not complaining. If you order one, order it a size larger. Chris and his father's ring is still the one I wear daily.

Getting the ring size to fit just right is understandable unless you can try on a few first. Here are some old ones for ya.

Mikee: That's one great set of ring sizers. I have the opposite a tapered steel gauge to size existing rings. Jim

Here's a picture provided by Lizardking of the two repro TK rings side by side. The one on the right is made by Hapur.

Hey Jim,
Thanks, it’s a German antique set.
Like this one? Here’s a nice antique tapered ring measuring rod or mandrel that I often use. Also from Germany.

Mickee
Yours is a much more interesting example than mine which is made out of a plain steel billet and the only marking other than the graduations is "HR".I also use mine to put bent rings back into a proper rounded condition. However don't try this with a ring that has enamel insets.

he is selling a couple of premade ones on ebay. i just got mine today. very satisfied but the skull is a bit large. overall its very nice work. it did take about 3 weeks to get it, but it is coming from Latvia. well worth the money. i do plan on purchasing one of his custom rings for $80 in the future w/ my name engraved.

I got mine off of E-bay. Skull is on the large size, but the band is very nice. Like I said, for what I paid, I'm not disappointed.

I've posted this before but it doesn't take much to get the skull more properly sized. A little time spent with a fine file and some emery paper will get the job done. I don't have a good "Before" picture but the skull was much larger when I got the ring. However If you scroll up to the side by side photo above you'll get the idea.
