The Best Fraking Ring You’ll See Today
In the future when they look back, and watch on DVD, the war between humans and the cybernetic race of their own creation, they will remember this day. The day Reddit user Disturbed Robot decided to take his love of Amy, and Battlestar Galactica, to the next level with a Cylon engagement ring!
This geeky couple met at a Battlestar Galactica party and it was from that first meeting that Reddit user Disturbed Robot decided to design and custom make a ring perfect for the Viper pilot of his dreams. Artist Craig Elliott recreated DR’s sketches as a CG model in Maya. Once satisfied with the model it was then printed on a 3D printer, and a mold was cast from the model with the gold from his Grandmother’s ring. He also re-used the diamonds from his Grandmother’s ring in the final design as well.

A Sgian Dubh is sometimes referred to as a hidden or dark knife which is fitting for the dark side of the force.
Bind on Equip – A World Of Warcraft Wedding
This gamer Bride and her Husband, whom she met while playing as a female Night Elf rogue in World Of Warcraft, came up with a great concept for their wedding rings. Inscribed on the inside of their white gold bands is the phrase “Bind on Equip.” An obvious reference to the online game and was incorporated into their ceremony as being soul bound to them.
“A circle symbolizes wholeness an unbroken and never ending circle symbolizing a commitment of love that is also never ending. The exchange of rings shall become soul bound and is a visible sign of your commitment. “
