This is what happens when you have way too much time on your hands and you're trying way to hard to impress someone.
I actually did something similar a couple months ago. I made my fiancee's provisional ring from stainless steel with a cast gold inlay and cut the diamond from cubic zirconia blank. I still plan to buy her another ring of her choosing, but I thought I should put the effort to make one personally since I already have tons of gunsmithing experience. Got the idea from some youtuber and it turned out great. I also made her a matching 25ACP handgun with ivory grips I made from the last set of ivory I had left.

Nothing says "I care" like the gift of personal protection. She has her own firearms since I met her originally from work, but she doesn't carry concealed all the time because her Glock 26 is bulky and doesn't fit her curves well. She has been interested in pocket pistols the past few months so I thought it was a good present to pair with the ring. Mama bear has claws.
