My Wedding Band - Sancus by Himeros

It is with great excitement that I share the results of a collaborative effort with Andrew at Himeros! As a discerning collector, I own practically every manner of adornment… but have always felt a desire for a special piece that I just couldn’t find out in the market. That missing piece of the collection is an adornment that matches my very own wedding band. Having been married for 17 years, I’ve worn a ring (the design was of my choosing) on my finger every day as a sign of dedication and love for my queen, so why not adorn myself elsewhere with the same design?

Himeros Athos

When Andrew at Himeros announced back in October/November that some new designs were available, I had to take a look. With the three new options out there, I decided that Athos would be my second Himeros ring after falling in love with himeros-proteus/. As is the case with King Rings, Himeros rings are based on available designs for finger rings, but enlarged and tweaked to serve a greater purpose on your manhood.

Custom Black Jade and Green

As a fan of any adornment made of exotic materials, I become even more of a sucker for custom designs. Although I have experience with jade as a material for my adornments through repurposing bangles and other such items, it immediately drew my attention when I discovered that KayeeEthnic on Etsy offers custom-sized adornments specific to the art of manhood adornment. I had to have one. This design features a generously portioned height and width to ensure that it does not dig in as the blood gets flowing.

FRKK Curved Cock and Shaft Trainer Cage

Similar to the flat trainer cage already in the collection, this adornment increases the comfort factor by leveraging the ubiquitous curved band design that has made its way into most Chinese adornment inventories. An important difference between this model and the other models in the collection is the fact that the shaft ring is a generous 1 1/2". This is a welcome change from the 1 1/4" shaft of the other model.

Continue reading

Ballistic Metal Trax

Another quality design from Ballistic Metal, the Trax is a “chunky” aluminum ring sharing the raw aluminum finish found on several other models. Similar to the raptor in design, the ring has a rectangular profile with the full outer profile notched with grooves from front to back. If looking closely, one can see that the grooves almost appear threaded due to the tool marks as they were cut into the body.

Schmuckcockring Priapus Gemmed Shield

Schmuckcockring makes some really cool custom cock shields. These adornments, of course, surround your cock like any other ring would, but also extends above and below. This adds lots of visual interest by really drawing attention to your member but also serves the added benefit of reducing pinching of no mans land while seated. Sergey once again delivers on a beautiful, custom sized stainless ring all the way from Hamburg, Germany.

Gear Essentials Quarter Screw Glans Ring

Designed to match the tremendously comfortable screw series from Gear Essentials, the quarter screw glans ring is a lightweight, highly polished aluminum adornment. The rounded edges ensure comfort and the striking finish easily matches the half screw cock ring that is already in my collection. The only thing left is to purchase a shaft ring to complete the set - which, unfortunately, is lost to time given the untimely demise of Gear Essentials as a manufacturer.

Continue reading

Braided Steel Wire Glans Ring

Another Etsy find from steelcraftsman, this simple glans ring is made from a braided stainless steel twist wire (industrial!) captured with a bead to close off the loop. Beautiful and rugged in its simplicity, this glans ring looks great when paired with other industrial adornments .

Slash Fit Stainless Glans Ring

Suddenly, this glans ring started appearing in random browsings as I looked for new adornments - so I had to oblige and pick it up. Available from a number of online retailers on AliExpress and Etsy, this stainless steel glans ring is a typical “band” design that has been modified with a slash to follow the contours of the glans better. The design is clever and I’m surprised by how much I appreciated the way the proportions fit the shape of my head so well.

Gear Essentials Hold

Gear Essentials (RIP) was always a forward thinking design shop. The Hold is an example of their clever design work. Precision cut from stainless steel, this cock/shaft/ball weight/cage traps all your business in its grasp. For my sizing, I went with the 1 7/8" cock ring with the 1 3/8" shaft opening. As a sucker for combination rings and cages, this fit was just what the doctor ordered - which comes as no surprise given the machining excellence of Gear Essentials over the year.

Glass Vibrations Faceted Glass Cock Ring

I’ve had some good luck on Etsy lately discovering interesting finds. As a sucker for alternative materials to your boring nickel-plated steel ring, this Glass Vibrations ring stood out immediately thanks to the faceted cut on the outside and the charming black glass material. It took me a while to commit to purchasing this ring, though - the cost of the ring is spot-on and worth every dime… but the cost to ship from Saarbrücken, Germany to the Midwest US was almost twice the cost of the unit.

Continue reading

Gear Essentials Surge Glans

Just like its bigger brother, the Stainless Surge, this glans ring version features a concave outer profile to give some visual interest. While I would have preferred to keep the theme of stainless for both rings, this version comes in a lightweight aluminum weighing in at only a quarter of an ounce. You’d be forgiven for forgetting the ring is even on! What I particularly like about this thicker ring is the the way it looks while fully erect.

Continue reading

Gear Essentials Strut Small

A quintessential Gear Essentials release, the strut is a narrower stainless ring than what one would see with the Torque. Because of the narrower profile at only .4", the strut doesn’t have the space for a comfort fit interior - though it’s not strictly necessary at this size. As with all Gear Essentials adornments, this ring is machined to exact tolerances with the caliper confirming that the shop is always exact in their craft.

Himeros Proteus

This half a pound of gorgeous comes to you from Himeros Jewelery. I discovered Himeros through Etsy and quickly contacted Andrew to say hello (and inquire about some custom options - he can do that, too!). He got back to me quickly and through conversation it is clear that he is passionate about what he’s doing as he builds his business. Based out of Europe, Himeros offers ultra premium cock rings.

Magicare Mamba Zero Cage Ring

This comfortable chastity “trainer” is available from AliExpress from the Magicare brand. The adornment, like similar “trainers” from Chaste Bird, features a collection of firm plastic base cock rings and an oval shaped shaft ring. The shaft ring is about 1.25" x 1.45" which lands at a nearly perfect shaft ring size of 1.35" for me (my preference is 1.375). What is different from my other “trainer” cage rings is how this one attaches the base and shaft rings.

Continue reading

Curved Tapered Wire

This wire ring is tapered towards the bottom to promote comfort, and not to be stopped there, it is also curved along the body of the ring to better confirm to the contours of your body. This creates a highly comfortable adornment for all day wearing. I do wonder how close the quality control is. Having purchased the 1.81" option, the average inner diameter is a much-less-constricting 1.97". Perhaps this was a misunderstanding on my part while ordering, but a ring shaped this way would encourage sizing slightly down simply because of the contours that offer more forgiveness that a flat round ring.

Continue reading

Horned Glans Ring

This somewhat interesting glans ring features design elements along the whole body that add interest. I’m not sure how to describe be design - somewhere along the lines of Greek Parthenon style. The ring is a little large for an all day glans ring, but it fits well when erect. The design is interesting indeed, though I wonder if it would slide off if donned during insertion activities. That’s probably not something to leave to chance!

Curved Cock and Shaft Stubby Cage

Described as a chastity trainer, this cock and shaft combination cage is right up my alley because of my affinity to cock strap/shaft ring combinations. As with many cheap cages, this one is liable to pinch as you manouvre into it… but once it is on, the issue tends to subside. The cock ring on this device is perfectly sized, and the shaft ring matches at 1.35 inches. Unlike my other “trainer” cages, this one has a shaft cage that runs 1.

Chandelier Crystal Shaft Ring

Yet another target of opportunity repurpose, this adornment comes courtesy of AliExpress made to serve the purpose of a chandelier crystal. In this case, it also turns out to be a great size for a shaft ring. Who wouldn’t give it a shot for only $3.50 to your door? As a shaft ring, the crystal performs admirably if not uncomfortably. They are clear, but definitely not cut for comfort around your member given the semi-sharp edges and unrounded interior ring.

Big Jelly Roll

This adornment is about 1/4 pound of ridiculous. I don’t know why I bought it other than the fact that it was less than $5 and I was bored. This ultra stretchy cock ring is made of the typical jelly cheap, crappy rings are made of - a material that is often not body safe nor able to be placed in direct contact with certain materials or they will “melt” together.

Retaining Ring Shaft Collars

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Such is life and such is the result of experimentation with industrial components as adornments. While browsing AliExpress for items to repurpose into rings, I came across these shaft collars used to lock movement of rotating assemblies in place on a shaft. A few dollars later, I had about ten collars headed my way. The experiment was hit or miss… with mostly misses. Naturally, these shaft collars were not cut for comfort, so they feature angular and sharp edges.

Black Aluminum Rock Climbing Ring

What do rock climing and cock rings have in common? No idea… but I do know that you can find an aluminum ring made for rock climing that serves as an excellent cock ring. This adornment features a smooth black surface and imitates large wire cock rings with its almost 1/2" thickness… but can be had at a practical steal of only $5 from AliExpress and about a month’s wait for it to arrive.

Continue reading

Dual Curved Shaft Ring

AliExpress marketplace is a target rich environment for adornments. Given that many rings one would purchase online ultimiately originate in China (except a few standouts that make their gear in shop like Ballistic Metal and Blue Collar Fetish Wear), it’s a great place to find the same fare but for far cheaper prices and often times before it is available widespread here at home. In this case, the maker chose to take two stainless wire rings and bend them (as my favorite wire cock rings go).

Bad Ass Workroom Custom Mega Wire

If you love heavy adornments around your manhood, then head over to Etsy and take a look at what you can have made through Bad Ass Workroom. Have you ever thought that the Gear Essentials Omega is awesome… but just not BIG enough? Well, now’s your chance to spec out the largest wire cock ring imaginable. While the custom work isn’t exactly cheap and it does take quite a while to manufacturer and deliver from China, the end result is spectacular.

King Rings Blue Horizon

Within minutes of receiving the email notification that a new style was available, I was checking out. This is the King Ring effect. Those that know the affliction know that your hesitations on buying that very first ring were silly. This isn’t some cheap junk from overseas with imperfect machining, inconsistent finishing, or unreliable plating. Nope. Not here. You know without a shadow of a doubt that you’re purchasing a quality, unique ring – the likes of which you’ll find nowhere else.
