Didn't Crichton's Dad give him something like that in Farscape?
It reminds me of the "Machine" from the highly under-rated movie of Carl Sagan's book "Contact", starring Jodie Foster.
I really, really, really, really, really, really want a set of these to use as wedding bands for my fiancée and I. Anybody know where to get a set?

I would like to buy one too. The prototype is made from brass (which can turn your finger green)and I don't think it would look nearly as nice in silver. I'll wait for it to be available in gold.
