				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center"><img src="http://xotheknot.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/engagement-ring.jpg?w=650" /></p><p>And the theme of <a href="http://wedding.theknot.com/wedding-themes/offbeat-weddings/articles/geeked-out-weddings.aspx?MsdVisit=1" target="_blank">geeked-out wedding</a> rings continue! We discovered the <a href="http://blog.theknot.com/2012/11/14/custom-r2d2-engagment-ring-proposal/" target="_blank">R2D2 engagement ring</a> not too long ago, and now, another ring created by <strong>CustomMade</strong>, is the &#8216;Companion Cube&#8217; ring inspired by the love one couple had for the video game <em>Portal</em>. Brittany Foster of BMF Jewelry artfully created an engagement ring for Justin to proudly give to his new fiancé. Justin knew no ordinary diamond would do, so the due custom designed the perfect ring for his video game-loving partner. It was based on an object from the game that he and his soon-to-bride shared such a passion for (she said yes).</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://xotheknot.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/companion-cube.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-13635 aligncenter" title="companion-cube" alt="" src="http://xotheknot.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/companion-cube.jpg?w=652&#038;h=400" height="400" width="652" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">The &#8216;Companion Cube&#8217; is a reoccurring object seen and used throughout the game, so naturally it was the ideal choice of design. Plus, we love the touch of little hearts.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://xotheknot.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/wax-model.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-13634 aligncenter" title="wax-model" alt="" src="http://xotheknot.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/wax-model.jpg?w=652&#038;h=400" height="400" width="652" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Brittany played with wax models before deciding on the final design of the ring. She and Justin discussed every detail of the ring including placement, metal and color.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://xotheknot.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/the-portal-ring.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13636" title="the-portal-ring" alt="" src="http://xotheknot.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/the-portal-ring.jpg?w=652&#038;h=400" height="400" width="652" /></a></p>
<p>The result was a vintage-inspired stainless steel ring that could support the intricate cube and integrity of the design. It&#8217;s classic, yet unique. Guys, kudos for stepping up the creativity!</p>
<p>Congratulations to Justin and his fiancé! Photos courtesy of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://blog.custommade.com/portfolio/not-your-typical-engagement-ring-custom-jewelry-for-gamers/" target="_blank">CustomMade.com</a>.</p>
