Hi everyone! I spent the last 3 months carving a ring for my fiance. I love her so much and this was one way I decided to try and prove my love for her. I'm not expecting this post to go anywhere, I just wanted to show people that stuff like this is possible, you just gotta go for it and put in the time and effort. Scroll down to see progress pics!

They make special wax blocks just for rings- how cool is that?

My dremel came in clutch, saving lots of time

I was originally going for a leaf design on the sides, but I soon realized the ring would be way to bulky like this.

I used tools I found around my house, and who would've thought that my favorite tool was a flathead screwdriver?

All ready to go! The jeweler put the wax into a hollow cylinder, filled that with sand, vacuumed air out, heated it all up to melt only the wax, then poured white gold into the mold to cast my ring.

My Jeweler was the real mvp! He took my glob of wax and turned it into a beautiful piece of art! I cannot thank him enough with how much effort he put into shaving down all the rough edges and nicks I put on that thing.

She said yes! Thanks for scrolling through.

Thanks for making the rest of us who just phoned it in with a store bought design look like jerks.

That's a treasure. How sweet. I was just hoping I wasn't going to find out that you made her the wrong size. Congratulations!

It's a 1ct moissanite stone- and yes, turned out to look bigger than I initially though it would haha

If I ever get married I want to do this too. First step is finding someone to love. That's the really hard part.

You can do the same with a 3d printed wax mold.

I thought you were making a blue lantern ring.

I thought you were gonna give her the blue wax ring at first. Nice, but wouldn't be very durable.

My expectations are now much higher :)

The ring is beautiful but it's gonna be a bit bitch to wear. Will easily get stuck in all the sleeves...

I looks nice but it looks really big

9 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 1

Yes, it turned out bigger than I thought it would be, but she loves how sturdy it is, so in the end it works out

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I agree with her. So easy to snag the prongs on something lose the stone, and the sturdiness will help prevent that.

Was hoping it would be a cock ring.

Would be a bit small... Even for a micropenis like OP has.

A cock ring?

Some say it can help you last longer, noobs don't use metal, don't wear more than 30 min, or again until 60 min later.

How could she say no? You hand sculpted her lifetime ring. Bravo OP

Because of the implications

Maybe more marriages would last if they put this kinda work into them. 7 years, still happily married, but it's work and can be difficult.+1

9 years ago | Likes 22 Dislikes 2

I agree, and yes, it should be hard work

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I don't love that logic "it Should be hard work" I think it's different for every relationship. Agreed, most are, Idk if it "should" be hard

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

So how many did you screw up in the process? and as others have asked, What's your profession? and awesome work, the ring is beautiful :]

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

This was actually my first attempt, besides practice I did a day before I started. I'm a student studying civil engineering. And thanks :)

I knew you'd be an engineer! If I could do everything all over again, that's what I would of gotten into, useful for so many trades.
