Until this coming Valentine’s Day,Elder Scrolls Onlinefans can purchase a legitimate 10K yellow gold Ritual of Mara ring, complete with Mara’s blessing, though it’ll set them back a pretty penny.
The Ritual of Mara is a marriage ceremony that is most iconically performed inElder Scrolls Onlinebetween two players, however, Mara will also oversee themarriage between a player and an NPC inSkyrimas well. InESO, players can perform the Ritual of Mara together by purchasing the Pledge of Mara for 1,000 Crowns from the Crown Store. It also allows players to earn an experience bonus while questing together in-game, but nowESOfans can purchase the rings out-of-game for a limited time.

Via the official Bethesda online store, those wanting Mara’s blessing can purchase the ring for $1,000. Each ring is made to order in 10K yellow gold and comes with an engraving on the inside of the ring that says “With this ring and Mara’s blessing.” The item description states that the ring is made with “Nord knotwork” on the outside of the band and a 4-pointedNord knoton the circular focal.
The ring itself is created by RockLove Jewelry, a company that has designed jewelry for many other video game franchises includingPokemonandLeague of Legendsas well as film franchises such asStar WarsandMarvel.On Bethesda’s site, RockLove has also designed a hinged Elder Scroll necklace, an Amulet of Talos, and an Amulet of Mara.
IfESOfans don’t want to put down the cash forthe 10K gold ringbut still want a ring inspired by Mara’s marriage ceremony, a sterling silver version of the ring is also available on the shop for just $85. Other than the sterling silver metal, the overall design of the ring is the same, including Mara’s engraving on the inside. Unlike the 10K gold ring, however, this one isn’t for sale only for a limited time but will come with a discount if purchased in pairs through the month of February.
According to the item’s blurb, the golden ring color is based onthe originalElder Scrolls Onlineconcept art found in-game. This is likely representing Mara’s official symbol, a golden knot, which can be sometimes found in stained glass windows around Tamriel. Additionally, the top of the ring’s design looks to be based on the symbol of Mara, the statue players wishing to marry will meet at to perform the ceremony.
