the dracula rings

[hammersdracula]

Hey Wolf man. The ring from Lee's website are silver in color but have alot of "blemishes" and a tarnished look. My advice would be to bring it to a jewler and have them give it a little buff job. Now remember the rings on the Christopher Lee web, are identical to Mr. Lee's to every detail. Side by side, they look identical. Enjoy your ring....now all you need is one of his capes......that I already have tucked away.

[Wolf Man]

Good Idea, I will have it buffed to bring out the detailing.  It may have just shipped today.  Something shipped from London but is being sent to my house.  I could have sworn that I was having it mailed to me here.  I will have to look into that.  Either way I will get it soon because I am going home on R&R. 

[hammersdracula]

Excellent! I may order another, as there are only a few left and when they are gone......they are gone. PM me your email and I wikll send along a few pics of my cape from Scars of Dracula.

I am still waiting for mine aswell.Those pictures are very good,and i can't wait for mine to arrive either.We all really timed it well,coming across the christopher lee dracula ring,before they all sold out. 

[Wolf Man]

Mrs Wolf Man informed me that my ring has arrived.  She is not opening it but allowing me to do it.  So no photos yet.  I will be home for R&R in about three more weeks so there will be lots of photos after that.  At least I know I have it now so yours should be arriving very soon.  I still could have sworn I had it sent to me here.  I believe that when the paypal went through they just automatically sent it to my listed address instead of the address I requested it to be sent.  There was something in the way the notification e-mail read that indicated that is what they did, although I can't remember what the indication was.

Thank you Wolfman.I was beginning to worry to be honest,as it has been 1 month since i ordered it.Hopefully,mine will be arriving sometime this week.

[Wolf Man]

No problem, good luck getting yours.  If you do within the next three weeks you will actually see yours before I see mine.  Lucky you.  I have to wait until I get home due to the mailing address glitch.  Thanks alot paypal.....

I have just checked the status of my ring order at the CLW site.I never noticed a message before,until i looked tonight.it was sent on the 13th of november 2008,and says that they are out of stock,and there will be a 2 week delay.
So,hopefully,new stock of the ring will arrive on the 27th of november 2008.It could be another 2 weeks after that,that i actually receive it.

Just an update.Here are a few pictures of the Christopher Le Dracula Ring,that i bought from the christopherLeeWeb  site.They are pictured in the box it came in,and also on my niece,Emmas hand.I have included a picture of the back of the ring,where the band is split,in order for it to expand around any finger.

[Wolf Man]

So ok, mine did not come in that kind of box but a cheaper cardboard box and mine looks a lot different, the face is basically the same but there is black behind all the design.  Also, my band is split not in the middle but more on the side.  That kind of pisses me off.  Why do they make these variations, why not just make them all consistent.  I will admit though that the design with black background looks pretty cool.  My wife took some pictures of it but they did not come out very well so I have not posted them. 

[moonvisage]

The ring with a black background sounds really good.I would love to have one of those.I would love to see a close up of your ring,Wolfman.

There appears to be yet another Crest of Dracula Ring from Dimensional Designs. They're calling it The Ultimate Edition, and say the design has been reworked and retooled. It's a limited edition of 100. $285, with cherrywood coffin display box and parchment COA.

This is the one I like the best. They also make a Mummy ring. Its awesome too. I know the others are pulled from the actual prop, and one is endorsed by Forry and/or Universal, but alot of the details are worn on the original. That transfers to the ring copies. The DD Ultimate has sharp  details because its a new sculpt.

I see your point on that, but that also means it is their interpretation of   the ring, not a duplicate of the actual prop.
Much like the difference between a life mask and a sculpture of the same person.

Yes. The Dracula ring will forever be associated with Ackerman in my head, so his endorsement and the Universal thumbs up was the icing on the cake to buy that one. I don't wear it, though. I suppose if that was the object, I'd buy the new one. I always wondered how durable any of them are. I would not be happy if I looked down and the stone had popped out!
