One of the most common ways to express your intention to marry someone, at least in many Western cultures, is by giving an engagement ring. However, with so many brands and designs of engagement and wedding rings on the market, choosing one is a difficult task. Now, anime and manga fans have another choice with new Black Jack-inspired engagement and wedding rings from Japanese jewelry maker U-Treasure.

Tezuka Productions' X (formerly Twitter) account announced a Black Jack-themed engagement ring and wedding band on April 10, featuring a white and black diamond representing the characters Pinoko and Black Jack . Although the tweet doesn't give many details, Osamu Tezuka's official website lists more information about the rings:

The Ozuma Tezuka homepage lists three different rings fans can purchase: an engagement ring, a Pinoko-inspired wedding ring, and a Black Jack-inspired wedding ring. Each of the three rings has unique design elements. For example, the engagement ring features one white diamond with two black diamonds and a stone-seat design inspired by Black Jack's bow and Pinoko's ribbon. In contrast, the Pinoko-inspired wedding band is a low-dome ring set with a single diamond and Pinoko's signature ribbon delicately set in rose gold. Finally, the Black Jack inspired wedding ring is a flat ring with one diamond and one black diamond to represent the main character.

However, the big question is how much do these rings cost? According to the website, engagement rings cost 484,000 yen, Pinoko wedding rings cost 132,000 yen, and Black Jack wedding rings cost 165,000 yen (approximately $3,159.01, $861.55, and $1,076.94, respectively). Take the U-Treasure Black Jack engagement ring site as an example, each ring uses 950 Platinum for the base metal and with different gemstones and designs, the high price is understandable. Unfortunately, U-Treasure's website states that it does not ship to EU member states, UK, Liechtenstein, Iceland, Norway and fans will have to inquire about their region.

Black Jack inspired wedding and engagement rings are a lovely piece of jewelry for any anime and manga fan. Although they are a bit pricey, they are about the average price for an engagement or wedding ring. However, it's unfortunate that the company has limited overseas shipping as there may be Black Jack fans around the world who want one of the rings. If you're in Japan or one of the areas U-Treasure moves into and love Black Jack, check out the engagement and wedding rings.
