Dog State
Pimp your hand
Guys don't normally wear rings until they get married, the first of many times they will give their S.O. the finger. For a man who, in a completely platonic way, wants to put a ring on yours, move yourself to Dog State.
From Japanese-born, now-nativized designer "T-Dog" Toshi, these solid-silver finger hoops are the result of years spent honing his craft at Soho's pioneering mewelry outfit (responsible for the first-ever skull ring some 40yrs ago) The Great Frog, also what they still call Cantona up in Manchester. His own skully designs feature recent additions such as Pirate, Vampire, and Smooth ('tis missing an eye socket), whilst an equally sprawling menagerie of animal rings includes Leopard, Bear, Pitbull, and "Aggressive Horse", far preferable to Passive-Aggressive Horse, who says "yay" instead of "neigh", but doesn't really mean it. Under the banner of "Other" he's crafted miscellany like a chunky gladiator mask, Frankenstein, a WW1 gas mask, and, for those who're into crime-fighting, pizza, and staunchly refusing to behave in a manner even remotely resembling an adult, a "Ninja" ring depicting mutant turtle Donatello and his purple bandana.
If your fingers are full, there's also a bunch of equally awesome neck/wrist dangling pendants, including an Uzi, knuckle dusters, and a brothel creeper shoe, which one wears when, despite the wedding ring, Sh** is Over.
