Getting engaged is a very special time for couples – it’s even more special if the ring is made out of something sentimental.
One Wiltshire couple have become the first to get engaged with a ring made out of their smartphones – which they say brought them together in the first place.
James Lawrence and Hayley Orchard first met on Tinder, so credit their phones for helping them to build a relationship.
James popped the question last Wednesday, on a walk around Jubilee Lake – where Hayley spent a lot of time growing up.
The engagement ring in question is made up of the pair’s iPhone 5s smartphones.
The unique piece features the microphones the couple used to talk to one another on, the cameras they took pictures on and the circuit boards that kept their phones alive. The band has also been cast in 9kt gold taken from the motherboard of smartphones.
It’s believed to be the first ever ring to be made entirely of smartphones.
The project was a collaboration between O2 Recycle and sustainable jewellery experts Lylie’s.
James said: ‘I met my fiancée Hayley on Tinder and quickly realised she was the one for me. The foundations of our relationship were built by spending hours sharing messages every day and having long telephone conversations before bed every night.
‘Those foundations turned into a house that we now share with our 10-month-old daughter and I wanted to celebrate the phones that brought me together with the love of my life.
‘Hayley thought the ring looked beautiful and jumped at the chance to show all of her friends, she couldn’t be happier with the sentiment.’
