The Sweetest Man in the World Proposed to His Girlfriend With a Handmade Ring

Updated on 1/20/2016 at 12:20 PM

Whenever our significant others get creative, the results are always pretty sweet: a small novel in our birthday card, an unexpected yet colorful drawing of our name, etc. But nothing could have prepared us for what Imgur user jarvicious — aka sweetest man ever — did for his ladylove. The guy freakin' made her engagement ring. By hand. In a jewelry-making station he set up at home.

And since keeping this all to himself would be a little selfish and take some pressure off men around the world, he shared the step-by-step process — including his numerous practice rounds — on the forum site. In the end, it all paid off: complete with the addition of a .5-carat Moissanite stone, his girlfriend said yes (duh), and the whole thing (including all those trials) cost him just $300. #Amazing

Scroll through to see some of what he did and how he did it. Then, share this story so everyone knows how high this dude just set the bar.

He First Practiced With a Random Piece of Copper

It was his first time toying around with jewelry in over 10 years, he wrote.

At a Little Station He Set Up at Home

He worked on the ring while his girlfriend was in night class.

He Bent Metal Stock to Size and Cut It For the Ring

He also sanded it down to smooth it out.

He Paid Attention to Small Details, Such as the Width of the Band and the Amount of Prongs in the Setting

Should he go with four prongs or six?

And Borrowed One of His Girlfriend's Rings to Check the Size

Smart.

In the End He Went With a 6-Prong Design

And Added a Moissanite Stone

Since the couple is currently remodeling their home and his girlfriend is still in school, he decided to go with a more affordable stone option instead of a diamond. Unless you look closely (or really know your diamonds), you can't really tell the difference!

His Girlfriend Said Yes

They plan on eloping to New Orleans!
