Has anyone else ever done this? I would be interested to know the ratio and results.

I use 2 cup of honey for a 5 gallon batch and it comes out great

Problem with using honey for priming is that the amount of sugar to water is going to be different with different honey. I can't remember the numbers, but it was a pretty wide range.

Also I thought the correct answer to the original question was jewelry.

Jewelry or booze. I find booze is better... and cheaper.
