A Math Professor Designed the Most Thoughtful Engagement Ring Ever

A maths professor Alexei Angelides Designed a Ring which is called an 'Integer Ring' that have memorable dates engraved on it

The “Integer Ring” is a 1.5 carat VS2 G white diamond ring with three baguettes on one side and three small round diamonds on the other. But the personalization behind the ring is what really makes it special.

It gets its name because the surface areas of the baguettes “encode” significant numbers like dates or location coordinates. For example, in the ring above, one baguette has an area of 1 square millimeters, another is 2 square millimeters, and the third is 6 square millimeters—1, 2, 6 being important numbers for the future groom (and lucky bride-to-be) who commissioned this beauty.



  Angelides enjoys challenging himself to come up with new possibilities:
“The challenge is to build a ring in such a way that the dates also reflect interesting and easily remembered sequences. So, to date, I’ve done the number of ways you can love or be loved given “n” days (using alphabet permutations as the basis), and I’m currently working on one involving mathematical objects called happy couples. It’s no solution to the P/NP problem, true, but it’s been a way for me to see how two of my disparate vocational skills might come together without the mix being boorishly techie or yawnerific.”
