“…that wraps around the finger.” UNLIKE A NORMAL RING.
“It was designed…” DESIGNED?PLEASE. “Of course, you can wear it how ever you choose.” THANKS. IT’S MY $12.
“This ring comes in all sizes.” “CAUSE I”VE GOT 500 FEET OF WIRE.”
“This ring comes in all colors.” “CAUSE HOME DEPOT HAS A LOT MORE WIRE,… I MEAN, SUPPLIES!”
With craftsmanship like this, need you look anywhere else for all your adornment or gift giving needs?
I can buy a 12 pack of colored wire for $10.00 and make about 75 of these hideous crap-tastic things! Anyone wanna get rich with me??? I got fingers, wire, and some magic shrooms for inspiration!
you gotta be effin’ kidding me, right? granted helen, they opened this shop in May, but this item was put into etsy on 10/29…some people are making this shit purposely to get on here.
#14- that is FUNNY
what i love is how the seller mentions some of this crap is ‘gold filled’…um yeah not real gold…it’s like gold paint sprayed onto crappy wire. i bought wire like this when i first attempted to make jewelry in high school…it sucks- breaks easily and tarnishes, etc.
@razberries — nope, “gold-filled” isn’t crappy wire with gold paint on it. It is solid 10K, 12K, or 14K gold that is bonded to a base metal core, a fine jewelry alternative to solid gold. It’s at least 50 times thicker than gold plate and lasts far longer.
The important point of course is that quality supplies will still not make a crap product good.
Wait, it costs $3 to ship it, and $7 if you buy it with another item!? Is she attempting to discourage people from buying more things from her shop? I mean other than everything being total crap.
Hey, at least the hand that’s modelling the “ring” is clean and manicured. If that cheese grater clock seller had listed this item the hand model would probably have an accumulation of week-old dandruff and motor oil under the nails.
This item is a real winner too: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26904242
Elementary School Ring would be a better description.
oh yeah…she sold a leaf bracelet and some shoes I think she got from her grandma’s closet, actually I think all her shoes came from her grandma’s closet.

I prefer this ring personally:
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_1&listing_id=26893030
It’s so confusing the seller couldn’t even photograph it on their finger.
November 5, 2009 at 4:59 pm
I’d like to stick one end of that wire in an electrical outlet.
November 5, 2009 at 5:05 pm
It’ll be interesting to see if any of her “rings” sell.
November 5, 2009 at 5:21 pm
There is total crap and then there is TOTAL CRAP. This… is the pure essence of TOTAL and COMPLETE CRAP!
November 5, 2009 at 5:37 pm
This is a step below the colored paper clip necklaces I used to rock- in SECOND GRADE!
November 5, 2009 at 6:00 pm
ROFL! her finger is actually turning blue!
November 5, 2009 at 6:01 pm
Wait… What does MK stand for? My Knuckle? Mostly Krap?
November 5, 2009 at 6:14 pm
MORTAL KOMBAT!!!
November 5, 2009 at 6:14 pm
FIGHT!
November 5, 2009 at 6:17 pm
Helen Killer — you slay me!
And WTF? Whoa, put the crack rock down.
November 5, 2009 at 6:19 pm
And look! It only costs $3 to ship! ($7 outside of US)
November 5, 2009 at 6:25 pm
I don’t understand; why is this on $12, while others of the apparent same size and complexity are $4 and $5?
November 5, 2009 at 6:49 pm
The supplies for this one are a far better grade, even I can see that!
I’m surprised it’s only $12.

Wow! I can wear this however I like? Well I choose to let the bottom of my garbage can wear it. K? K thanks!
November 5, 2009 at 7:32 pm
Oh, and it’s made from “memory wire”. So when the person wears this it can be a memory of how they spent $12 on this piece of crap ring.

And if you break your finger it can double as cast without the trip to the doctor!
November 5, 2009 at 8:06 pm
[slap my forehead] Why didn’t I think of this?! I’d be a kajillionaire by now.

November 5, 2009 at 8:44 pm
i’m more concerned with her “greek-like inspired” beads on other pieces. they’re inspired by something that was “greek-like” to begin with?
November 5, 2009 at 9:52 pm
#22: I just saw that, LOL!!! Me thinks someone cannot do math! either that or these rings weigh a TON ;P

NOW THAT….is out of line. These people need to be stopped, the overflow of crap on Etsy is scary.
November 5, 2009 at 10:25 pm
what….is….this?
although clearly titled as a bracelet…I refuse to accept that.

sorry.

i simply have no comment
speechless

I’m pretty sure there are better ways to uncomfortably stop your finger from bending for twelve bucks.
November 6, 2009 at 4:25 am
I would buy it if she had chosen to use a pipe cleaner instead. I prefer my wrapped jewelry to be understated like that.
I would also like a keychain in plastic lanyard, please.
November 6, 2009 at 7:24 am
I prefer this ring myself:

The name says it all.
@#30 Lennymud – you just crack me up.

I can really wear it how ever I choose? Well, I choose to wear it on my middle finger, let me show you…
November 6, 2009 at 8:37 am
“All” colors? Really? Millions of colors, like on my monitor… or do we specify color by Pantone number?
November 6, 2009 at 9:18 am
It’s Slinky, it’s Slinky, it’s fun, it’s a wonderful toy. It’s Slinky, it’s Slinky, it’s fun, it’s a wonderful toy. It’s fun for a girl or a boy.
November 6, 2009 at 9:45 am
Things we make when we are high for 100 Alex
November 6, 2009 at 9:57 am
2 sales=justice.
I hope those two sales were “vintage” shit.
Also, I’d rather wear a slinky as a bracelet.
November 6, 2009 at 11:17 am
oh yeah…she sold a leaf bracelet and some shoes I think she got from her grandma’s closet, actually I think all her shoes came from her grandma’s closet.
November 6, 2009 at 11:52 am
This is what you do just before you paint your nails with twink then decorate them with a sharpie. Definitely teams with the paper-clip necklace!
November 6, 2009 at 1:07 pm
this is truly the “NO WORDS” post…
November 6, 2009 at 9:07 pm
I’m thinking this is one of those ETsy Lab projects that will just ‘fly off the virtual shelves’ this Christmas rush.
November 6, 2009 at 10:10 pm
Are you sure it’s not a Cinco Product? “And now MK Finger Wrap is perfect for throwing away!”
November 6, 2009 at 10:30 pm
Hey modelling hand, make a fist.
November 6, 2009 at 11:45 pm
I’d wear it on my “Hey asshole you can’t drive worth shit” finger.

It’s so nice when methheads have a hobby.
November 7, 2009 at 2:58 pm
looks like some PVC stuff a raver lost… and yea.. her finger IS turning blue!
quick! someone tell her to take it off before her finger falls off
November 7, 2009 at 7:29 pm
LOL @ #34!
November 9, 2009 at 8:46 pm
And when it goes out of fashion you can straighten the wire out and hang a few pictures up on a wall…or make colorful paperclips!
