This Editor Sculpted A Magical Elven Ring That Made His Girlfriend Say Yes!
What a beautiful ring!
This is a true to life story of Dovas, the Editor of Bored Panda who, instead of joining the typical shopping and canvassing of a timeless ring of eternity, sculpted his very own engagement ring for his lovely Elena, then girlfriend and now– FIANCEE!
He wanted to give her something priceless and distinctively eternal that will carry on their greatest story from one generation to another. Using his own design, he wanted to reflect the common thing that binds them—adventure and nature lover. And so, he first crafted the body in use of wood and clay then later on convinced a jeweler who can eventually plate it in wax and gold! Cool huh?
Check out the how the sculptured ring and a box turned into a great YES!
See how this piece of wax will start a forever.
He has his tools intact so he could easily hide them in case she comes unexpectedly.
Being a nature lovers, Dovas chose a nature theme as the main design.
It took him 40 hours just to finish this precious design!

Almost done and just needs few touches of perfection!
He used camera lens blower to remove dust and scraps of wax.
Perfect! Just perfect! Now it’s the jeweler’s turn for magic!
After casting it in gold and adding a green tourmaline gemstone. Success!

The stone is just perfect in mirroring the forest-green shade when touched by light.
The ring will not be as perfect as it is if the box will not be crafted as well, right?
Wood and vibrant touches of different shades will do the trick to liven up the “Tiffany box”
