    I'm very happy with it. It says MCMLXXVIII, my year of birth. The letters "float" between the borders, since they are connected only in relatively few places to the "main" ring.
    I decided to let produce it in Raw Bronze, so it's not as shiny as it possibly could be, but I somehow like those very fine visible printing lines, it matches the "Old Roman" style and it adds to an antique look. (And well, it was cheaper, too. :-D )
    Thank you, Shapeways staff, you make marvellous things!

    I like the floating effect very much!
