One Piece announces Tony Tony Chopper bridal rings, DIY jewelry service

One Piece and accessory store U-Treasure had two awesome announcements just in time for the holiday season.

Yeah, the One Piece anime katana letter openers are cool, but what if you want a more traditional accessory? U-Treasure will hook you up.

Fans may already be aware of this, but character Tony Tony Chopper’s birthday is on December 24. In his honor, character design jewelry store U-Treasure in Tokyo’s Shinjuku neighborhood (and U-Treasure online) are now offering a Tony Tony Chopper engagement ring and wedding band. It’s a first in the series’ accessory line, and a perfect way to mix your geeky love for One Piece with the love for your partner!

The engagement ring includes a design with the sakura flower petal that symbolizes the relationship between Chopper and Dr. Hiluluk, the man who found Chopper in a blizzard. The ring’s design also includes the hat he received from Dr. Hiluluk.

▼ While the relationship between Chopper and Dr. Hililuk may not exactly have been romantic, it still symbolizes a strong and lasting bond.

The ring comes in four types: Platinum and 18-karat pink gold with a diamond for 320,000 yen (US$2,897.07); Platinum with a diamond for 300,000 yen; 18-karat yellow, pink, or white gold with a diamond for 280,000 yen; and a silver or pink gold coating with cubic zirconia for 18,000 yen.

▼ So there’s something for those with the big bucks, and some for a budget!

The wedding band includes a different design with the same sakura flower petal and hat symbols. The platinum version costs 80,000 yen; the 18-karat yellow, white, or pink gold version goes for 58,000; or you could get a silver or pink gold coating version for 12,000 yen.

▼ The wedding band is a little more subtle in appearance.

If engagement rings and wedding bands aren’t what you’re looking for, you’re in luck! On the same day, U-Treasure also announced a One Piece DIY jewelry service. You can choose from 68 designs to etch onto a ring, necklace, or bangle in a workshop where you’ll work alongside a craftsman to burn metal and work it into your own piece of silver jewelry.

▼ Don’t miss your chance to wear these cool glasses.

The workshops take about two hours each to complete, and you’ll receive your finished piece about three weeks later. Making a ring costs 20,520 yen; the necklace will run you 21,600 yen; and the bangle rings in at 23,760 yen.

▼ There are so many designs to choose from!

Both the bridal rings and DIY workshops are available at U-Treasure in Shinjuku, so stop on by there if this is what you’ve been searching for!
