Sounds like the making of this engagement ring truly was a labor of love.

An inventor's romantic proposal idea has come to happy fruition. It took
months of work, but Ben Kokes crafted an engagement ring for his
girlfriend, Julie, that would light up from within — but only after he
put it on her finger and took her by the hand.
(First, for those who can't stand the suspense, don't worry: She said
yes, and she loves it.)
The idea of a ring that glows when he's near it occurred to Kokes a
while back, but the actual design wasn't finalized until January. He
spent the next few months slipping away to a nearby machine shop to work
on the ring, which he code-named "Project Longhaul" — though it wasn't
easy to escape his girlfriend, who also enjoys building things.
"She kinda likes this kind of thing, so it was tough making excuses for
why I was going to the shop all the time," Kokes told NBC News in a
phone interview.
