It’s hard out there for a guy planning to propose. With the expansion of the internet, all the clever, creative proposals that used to just be person-to-person anecdotes are now uploaded to YouTube, posted to Facebook, and granted 15 minutes of bona fide internet fame. How’s a guy supposed to compete with all that? How do you figure out a proposal that’s both original, romantic, and personalized to your significant other? I’ll answer those questions with one more: is your true love a Stargate fan?

That snazzy bit of finger jewelry originated on this Tumblr, but sadly I can’t find any other details, such as whether it’s available for sale or one-of-a-kind. Either way, it’s a clever idea, and I’m surprised nobody’s mass-marketing these suckers. Of course, you have to make sure the chevrons aren’t locked when you slide it on, otherwise your betrothed’s finger could wind up halfway across the galaxy.
