Rings for two [non-engagement]

ZeitgeistHeist

My boyfriend is heading off to work at a camp for the summer. Neither of us are worried about possible commitment issues and the like, but he thinks it's a cute excuse to have a set of "promise rings" to wear until we either decide to get married or break up. Really romantic looking rings aren't our style, so claddaghs, hearts, etc, are out, but robots, steampunk, astronomy, and other sciency-things are good, so I was kind of hoping to find something along those lines. I don't want it to be gaudy, since we'll be wearing them all the time, so while those his/her ethernet connection rings are awesome, it's not exactly what I'm looking for. They can still be really unique-looking, just not borderline silly. Preferably around $100 or less for the set. I've been pouring over google and Etsy, but any suggestions from you guys would be great.

tl;dr: Looking for a classy ring set under $100 for a geekish couple.

edit: going with the flow and adding pics

EDIT: yes, ok, this is over your price range, but they are too cool not to show.

I swear you can get clockwork gear-themed rings from gaming stores and other nerdly places. If you're feeling crafty, you can probably get a hold of some moon rocks or interesting minerals and rig together something. Hot glue a D20 to a metal band or something.

edit: Take a peek at Thinkgeek.com as well. They have plenty of geekular jewelry.

i am a huge nerd so if i ever got a ring what is looked like wouldn't matter so much as the composition. mainly rhodium (see below) or some other cool element

Crap, totally missed that in my excitement to post them.


My bad, carry on.

Not quite under $100, but if you're willing to spend a little more, the guy over at http://boonerings.com/ is really, really good. They're high-grade titanium which means they're tough, comfortable and very light. He does custom laser inlays, plus he does very lovely custom engraving on the inside.
