I like the looks of the checkers with metal rings around their circumference. Something like this:

I've seen ones for sale that are gold plated going for ~$500-$600 US. NOT interested in those

I've seen people play (on online streams) with plain black/white pieces with a metallic band around the rim.

Where can I find them??

Thanks in advance for your help

You are probably talking about the Geoffrey Parker sets and you likely aren't interested in them either
