July 7, 2025 — A custom ring maker that has infused millions of men's wedding bands with super heroes, the Second Age and fine spirits has taken a new leap ... with NASA.
Manly Bands has launched its NASA Collection with three ring designs inspired by different aspects of spaceflight. The NASA bands join the company's other rings inspired by DC comic book characters, Lord of the Rings and Jack Daniels, among others like Jeep and Fender.
"Introducing our NASA-Inspired Collection, forged for the men who never stop looking up," Manly Bands posted on Instagram. "Whether you're chasing stars or just chasing your next big adventure, these rings are your mission-ready reminder to keep exploring."
"Bold materials. Galactic vibes. Zero gravity not included,"
The three bands in the NASA Collection include rings named "The Lunar," "The Aerospace" and "The Cosmos."
"The Lunar" reproduces the look of the moon's surface etched onto an 8-inch-wide (20-cm) titanium surface.
"This band is an official nod to our nearest celestial neighbor — the moon. 'The Lunar' is sleek, understated, and undeniably cosmic, like wearing a piece of the moon wrapped around your finger," reads Manly Bands' website.
The black zirconium "The Aerospace" has silvered sides and a gold leaf inlay, the latter meant to evoke "the glint of solar panels as they catch the sun's rays in orbit." John Ruggiero and his wife Michelle, who co-founded Manly Bands, write that "The Aerospace" band was inspired by "the satellites that soar above our atmosphere."
Both "The Lunar" and "The Aerospace" have NASA's logotype — affectionately referred to as the "worm" — engraved on their interiors. "The Cosmos" puts the NASA brand front and center for all to see.
Also black zirconium, but with a crushed space titanium opal inlay, "'The Cosmos' captures the vibrant, chaotic beauty of deep space," according to the Utah-based company. "Wearing this ring is like holding a galaxy in the palm of your hand."
The three NASA models list for $700 for the "The Lunar" and "The Cosmos" and $800 for "The Aerospace."
Beyond the NASA Collection, which is the first time that Manly Bands has featured the agency's logo, the company has other space-related products. A number of their bands are made using Gibeon meteorite inlays, including "The Apollo," "The Hanks" and "The Sally," the latter designed for women.
There is also "The Astronomer," which has shredded meteorite and a blue glow and "The Galactic Raptor," which combines meteorite shreds and space titanium opal with triceratops dinosaur bone.
As with all of Manly Bands' rings, the NASA Collection models are available in a wide span of sizes and take about a month to ship (rush service is available). |
