Gone are the days of diamonds being a girl’s’ best friend, there’s some of us that prefer our jewelry to be more — how shall I put this? — geeky. There’s plenty of girls (and guys and non-binaries) out there that want to be more different than different, and there’s as many of us would get hitched in a Hyrule t-shirt before the old silk-tux combo. If that’s the sort of realm in which your love lies, these geeky engagement rings should prove to be a real shoe-in.
1. Classic Nintendo NES Controller Ring

One of the first games systems that a lot of us in our 30’s ever touched, it pulled us in with its mushrooms and plumbers and Duck Hunt with an attachable gun, making us wonder how it was possible we could play a story. Now we can wear it. With rubies.

Have you seen more beautiful the legend of zelda gifts? I hear the noise when I sleep, and not just because it’s my e-mail tone. Falling into the gorge in the Desert and ending up in Hyrule Lake was a lot like falling in love. The difference here being, you gain a life.

Boldly going somewhere you’ve never been before is a nice metaphor for marriage or relationships in general. Don’t discount the courage it takes. Kirk and his 800,000 girlfriends didn’t.
