A long long long long time ago, some time in the 70s I thinkish, about that time or so. There was a big LoTR fad then too, with all the SCA stuff and D&D.
Anyhoo, some company made The One True Ring. To say it was a novelty gimmick would be... reaching. It was 24k gold, made to fit your finger (Even had half sizes) and the Elvish lettering on the ring was inlaid swirled silver and white gold. Had a pretty marbled effect. Some big rich catalogue offered it as the ultimate xmas gift. (Same company later offered a REAL mummy sacophagus) I can't remember the name. Now, mind you, this WAS the 70s, and the ring cost a cool $1,999.99. It was possible to buy a brand new car for cheaper. I coveted The Precious, but never bought one. They were limited editions, I wonder how much they are worth now?
I always wondered, in my own twisted little way, if perhaps some fat velvet pimp went and ordered one for his pinky with out ever knowing what it was for.

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
