If you’ve seen one engagement right, you’ve seen them all, right? Well, not exactly. This guy wanted nothing more than to propose to his girlfriend, but he didn’t want to get her some run-of-the-mill ring. Instead, he decided that he’d find some gold and put his metalworking skills to the test.
That’s right. He made this ring by hand with gold that he dug up himself.
First, he went out and found some gold.
Once he amassed enough gold to make a sizable ring, he picked out the perfect center stone.
She’s a special lady, so he wanted her stone to be totally unique.
The first thing he did after collecting the raw materials was melt them down.
This obviously took a lot of work.
Then, he formed the ring itself.
Sure, he’s big and burly, but this guy can make a dainty, beautiful ring as well as any jeweler!
Once it was polished, all he had to do was set the stone.
Much to his delight, she said yes!
I mean, how could you deny a love like that?

I personally wouldn’t even know where to look for gold, let alone how to make a stunning, professional-quality ring! That’s pretty amazing, and I’m sure she appreciates every ounce of effort that went into creating it (and every ounce of gold, too).
