A Platinum, Shinbone And Diamond Engagement Ring
Whatever will men who are going to propose think of next? Mike Perrett from north-west London lost a leg a few years ago and he had saved the bone, making things from that bone using a DIY kit. He was always good with his hands so when he saw a friend wearing a plastic earring he went and made a bone earring from the bone he had. He also made a necklace and cufflinks.
So when it came to one of the most important days of his life, he wondered how he could make it special for his girlfriend Melita and that’s when he got the idea of using some of the bone for an engagement ring. So he worked with a jeweller and the platinum ring has a diamond and – you guessed it – a piece of bone!
Mike lost his leg in India when he was helping out in an orphanage. He was playing volleyball with the children when he fell off a cliff. His leg could not be saved but his shin bone was given to him and he’s kept it as a reminder.
