Description I made this ring the day after I found out the name of my amazing love-at-first-sight-man-of-my-dreams!

I seem to recall I presented it like "I know this might seem a bit weird, but I noticed you like rings so I made you this.
Here. Not like I'm a stalker or anything."

..He wore it on our first date, a week later.

The front is a smooth garnet cabochon. Personally I find the secret agreement between me and the wearer more interesting than the front. The "T" can't be seen through the gem since its so dark.

I made it in a day. I dropped all other projects and went up completely into those few rose-tinted images I had of him in my mind. Heart pounding and hands shaking when making as well as presenting it.

I love seeing people do things with the bottom and underside of the ring! It looks amazing seeing the silver surrounded by such wonderful color!

The most important piece of jewelry I made so far... trying to catch my beloved Thomas with that on my hook!

Hah, I remember flunking Metal Shop in high school because I made a ring for a girl I liked during finals instead of making the project we were assigned. I completely forgot about schoolwork, it was so bizarre, haha.

These are the best kinds of rings.

That is so sweet. And I completely agree!

I actually made this in spring during the very same project time. Only I was so fast that I made my project. Plus at least ten other things that crept under the teacher's radar. He was very forgiving and loved my inspired work so it was totally OK anyway.

I was the student urging my classmates to working on weekends too.

Couldn't get me out of that forge even for lunch! They pondered fetching a crowbar.

This is a beautiful ring, and such a wonderful story! Those little, quiet reminders of joy are a wonderful thing, like an inside joke or a perfect moment no one else knows about.
