I Made an Engagement Ring From Scratch and Proposed During The Totality of the Solar Eclipse!

In this one, we set upon what is undoubtedly the most important video I've ever made. We are making an engagement ring for Alexis from scratch, starting with all raw materials, including smithing and faceting. It was a very fun challenge, if not a little stressful, but I am unbelievably happy with the end result! The stone is a hydrothermal lab sapphire that we cut into a portuguese round surrounded by a halo of natural diamonds set in Silver. After finishing the ring, we left for a cross country road trip from Montana to Florida, stopping in Missouri for the total eclipse. I figured "how often do you get the opportunity to propose during the totality of an eclipse?" and managed to catch the moment on camera. I hope you all enjoy this amazing adventure and I will have another one out soon!

Having a homemade ring is so much more special, knowing that you made it with your own hands. The time and effort you put into making the ring is a great way to prove your commitment to your future bride. The eclipse took it over the top! Such a memorable experience, occurring during such a magical time of the cosmos! You, my friend, freaking nailed it! Well done! Thank you for sharing this with us! It's very heartwarming to see moments like this, and I'm thankful we got to share it with you. I can't confirm this, but I believe my eyes may have started to leak fluid for a short moment. I'll have to get that checked out next time I see my doctor... 😉
