It's an armour ring! It's obviously a knockoff, the Vivienne Westwood one looks way nicer, but also costs a lot more. 150 pounds, anyone? Anyway, the moment I knew where to get it from - it's a long story; I found out through facebook, heh - I went out to get it. It would look nicer on people with longer fingers, though. My fingers are a little too short for it. I know it's chunky, and it's quite embarrassing when people stare at it - they seem to think I'm going to use it to scratch their faces or something. But I like the ring. It's interesting and unique, and it kinda reminds me of those kind of sharp, fingernail caps which Empress Dowagers wear. 

10 years (or less) later I might look back on this and laugh my ass off at myself for having loved and worn such a... contraption, but hey, I don't care, I like it now. Right now, I still have an excuse to wear punk fashion accessories and get away with it. If not now, then when? 

Oh, and of course, now I'm truly Duchess Tang, heh :).
