We've got the goods! Unboxing photos of the rings and inserts

The inserts and the rings have arrived and they're ready to ship! Awesome!

I haven't seen them yet because they went to Chris, but he says they look even more stellar than he ever imagined they would. The photos in this post are from his phone, so they aren't the greatest, but we'll have some professional pics soon that show how gorgeous the rings really are.

The insert sheets are perfect… great printing, perfect edges for the Emoodicons thanks to the laser cutting, and a surprise bonus: the sheets come covered with a plastic film like what you see on a brand new Iphone screen so they won't get scratched. Chris says the only way he can describe the depth and richness of the black in the printing is to compare it to the obelisk in 2001. Nice!

The rings themselves are even prettier than the prototypes we got (which were stunning!). The factory even changed the design a bit to make the caps come off more easily, in fewer turns! This was based on our request, but we didn't think it would happen until the second order… They totally surprised us by figuring out how to fix it and getting it into the pipeline early. Nice job guys!

So, we're ready for orders and we can send out some rings to a few friends who've helped make the dream real. I can't wait!

Here's some pics of how the rings looked when they arrived:
