Apparently, I'm not the only one who's had this problem:

Rings and amulets increase in weight the better they are; I've got orange quality rings that weigh in as much as 54 each, and amulets that weigh around 30-40. Not even Mr. T needs that much jewelry weight on him <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I'm a little surprised that rings have a base weight of 6 anyway -- fruit weighs 1; shouldn't a ring, no matter how glitzy, weigh less than an apple?

You will rue the day you opposed me! Begin your rueing! I'll just... sit over here... and watch.
