It may sound strange, but it’s perfect for his now-wife.

Fastco Design reports on a man who used 3D printing to create an engagement ring based on data visualization of human hear fibers. That may sound strange, but the jewelry was perfect for his now-wife, Nina Tandon, who works in the field of tissue engineering.
