Working with a jeweller and the vinyl record manufacturer Dubstudios I created this engagement ring for my partner Shelina. The ring has a 20 second recorded message (my proposal) etched onto its surface and can be played back with a miniature record player. The ring is also a homage to Thomas Edison who made the first sound recording machine- the phonograph in 1877.

I proposed to Shelina in a hot air balloon over Bristol and she said yes ! The story made The Times newspaper and the BBC news as well as various feminist websites across the world.
