You know that DJ friend you have? Well, I have some too, and one of them is on the hunt for a wedding ring. It’s still top secret, but I was asked for advise on cool rings. This has to be it: voice personalized jewelry by Brooklyn based Sakurako Shimizu.
Rings in silver ($395), 18k gold ($1290) or platinum (cost depends on size) are laser cut with the sound waves of your choice, including these: the waves of each partner saying “I do”, the names of the engaged spoken by each other, the sound of a church bell…whatever you want. (Someone’s I do’s are shown above.) My friend just wrote to say that Shimizu sends instructions for recording on your home computer using Audactiy, a free program. So practice away!
For those without weddings in the future, you can get rings, brooches, necklaces and earrings cut with anything, too, either in negative or positive. Suggestions include a giggle, the word WOW, or a sneeze.
Here’s the giggle necklace, my personal favorite. I love the idea of wearing it and having people ask, what’s that? Why, it’s the sound of my laughter! Tee hee!
Bonus: Shimizu also makes necklaces from rubber and silver that look like they’re swinging with your motion:
