Will You Engage Me?

It’s actually quite surprising that there hasn’t been a custom-made ring made already relating to all things Star Trek.  Or maybe there has been, and this one just got the opportunity to be noticed recently.  Either way, any female Trekkie who is waiting for the day that her enterprising hero comes along and asks for her hand in marriage would probably love to be adorned with this engaging ring.  Yeah yeah, my attempts at puns are futile, I know.

According to io9.com,

Etsy seller VaLa Jewellery offers this engagement ring in the shape of the Starfleet insignia. And, in Federation-appropriate fashion, it’s not studded with a diamond, but instead with a white sapphire. The ring is sterling silver, though, and not gold-pressed latinum.
