Don’t worry about payment. Some day you will make something really cool and you will be able to send it to me! If you don’t mind, we can keep this topic going in the wild until we need to talk addresses and such. It will be an opportunity for a collaboration with everyone else. There will be lots of opinions on something like this.

I certainly will! I feel honored, and am very grateful! Thank you so much!
Like I said earlier, I’m loose on the design, not even sold on the “diamond” shape. I only thought of that to be a little cheeky. The layers would be awesome.
Yes we can keep this open for a little bit. I’m curious what others think.
Oh and I’ll definitely follow up with some pictures. Thank you!

Oh man, I’m so glad I logged in today, haha. I can totally help out with this, if you are still looking for help. Best part is I live in this ol’ Lone Star State, yessir.
A general question I have for ya: is this more of “jokey har har” kind of thing, or does the ring need to last? I have experience with both, just wondering what the overall tone is, haha.
I have a few wooden rings lying around that I can post when I get a chance.

Hi fellow Texan!
Thank you for the support!
Hopefully the ring will last but she probably wouldn’t wear it often, more of a keepsake, but wear it occasionally. I’m not sure if that’s answers your question haha.

Just my 2 cents - 2 layers of silver mirrored acrylic to make it look like bling sandwiching some mdf? @marmak3261 - your generosity is amazing! This is fun! Can’t wait to see the outcome!

You just discovered why this community is the absolute best accessory for that new laser!
@marmak3261 helped me get going when I had no idea what I was doing. The friendly atmosphere, the vast experience, and the willingness to help make this place the go-to for anything related to the glowforge. @marmak3261, @cynd11, and @jcarrion just demonstrated what makes this community special. Make sure your future wife joins us!
The idea of your gift is fantastic - she will be thrilled !! Pretty crafty of you to have a special ring made with the laser! 
Congratulations on your soon to be marriage, and Welcome to the community!

Hey man, when I met her, I knew it was close to her Birthday, but I wasn’t sure. I had no choice but to rummage through her purse for the driver’s license. I was quite sure she would catch me pilfering her wallet, and I thought "Dam*it David - don’t you ever forget this. 40 years later, so far so good. 11/6/ 56.

Hi @marmak3261 I got these pictures of the ring. Looks like it is .75 inch wide I hope this helps. Since it is coming up, mind if we take it offline and button up the details?

Just to clarify…they’re already married. It’s for their 10 year anniversary.

Ahh, thanks.
Hey @crd013 , I just checked my jeweler’s ring sizer, and .75" is right at size 8 - or .712.
Listen, it’s the idea that carries weight. If it’s a bit loose or tight - she’s not going to care that much!
