Nice job, i like it. The upper part could be done with two tin Acrylic sheet and film mask between both

Here is how I did it. This is the test. I have some finished rings. I`ll post the pictures when I back home.

EDIT: This is what I did. I sprayed one side of transparent acrylic sheet with layer of primer and several layers of black paint than laser etched and cut the rings. Doing it with film makes not much sense as you are already using machine for cutting. Why not to engrave it when it is already in place?  ;)

I stumbled over two more interesting sources for LED ring assemblies.

A complete assembly, SMD/through-hole,

They also have illuminated pots, encoders and switches.

Small PCB with shift register SMD mounted LEDs and encoder for interfacing via

These look nice, hope they will be cheap...
