Velouria, congratulations on your engagement! Your ring is just splendid and I''m so glad that you had such a great experience with Michael E. I also had a very positive experience working with him.

okay, without further ado, I''ll post some genuine hand pics...
As always, they don''t look nearly as good as the ring looks in person. In real life, the tourmaline looks like the does in my avatar, and the diamonds on the shank are right and sparkly and throw off diamonds... It''s a really gorgeous ring! Not that I''m biased or anything...

Heh... and if you''ve ever wondered what a happy VelouriaL looks like, here I am in my nightgown, hair all messy, no makeup, with two of my favorite things (chihuahua and ring), doing one of my favorite things (watching cheesey movies and drinking homemade mudslides), with one of my favorite people (my good friend Sarah, who took the pictures).

WELL!!!!!! What can I say that hasn''t been said? It looks absolutely gorgeous, and seeing it on your finger (especially the last shot with radiant you and that cute beastie) makes the waiting SO worth while!
It''s just glorious, Velourial....congratulations!!!

The ring looks even more amazing on your hand~!!! and I love the photo of you & puppy dog- you''re glowing!
and we need more photos- this weekend in NYC when Matatora, Buena and I got together we were asking each other "has velourial posted hand shots yet? when is she moving? when do we get to see her ring again?"
I hope they both take a look today at your new beauty!

I''ve said it bofore but I just feel like to repeat myself - this is one of THE most beautiful e-ring I''ve ever seen!
VL- love that big smile on your face! Hope you don''t mind it - I love your green tourmaline so much that I''ve asked Michael E to recut a rhodolite to that shape. Will be done in a few weeks (I told him no rush but now regret it)

Oh, velouria, it looks just stunning on your hand! (Of course, this is not a surprise, but it''s nice to have visual confirmation!
) Really, it''s just absolutely perfect! And you are indeed glowing in the photo of you w/ your 2 babies!
I''m so, so happy for you!
So, now you have me getting a little misty too. (I read your post in my thread as well---you beat me in the race to engagement by 3 days--lol!!!) I remember when we first "met" and were both looking for a temporary e-ring & SO anxious to become "officially" engaged. I''ve really enjoyed getting to know you through all of our chats in the months that followed & being able to share in the evolution of our respective rings. I''m glad we were there to convince each other (repeatedly!) that it was worth it to hold out for the *right* ring--a piece of art to wear & enjoy for years to come. Do wear it in good health & best of luck to you & your FI starting your lives together in a new city. I hope you''ll be sticking around these parts, though...I''d miss you if you logged off!

Man, that rock is HUGE! By huge I don''t mean "too huge", but just huge enough to say "in your face, diamonds!"
God, the more rings I see like this, the more I hate diamonds and want to strangle anyone (i.e. everyone, almost) who carries around a yawn-inducing lump of expensive carbon on their finger.
Apologies to the many of you who also love and have diamonds. But seeing stuff like this gives me some hope that the human race hasn''t lost all originality, and there are people out there willing to go against the herd mentality. To me, diamond e-ring = suburban coma. (and not just because I''m not rich)
But back to the topic at hand, that ring is loveably chunky and extremely bold. If you were holding a Pug in that pic instead of a Chihuaha, I''d give it 5/5 stars.

Hehe, Raddygast, you make me laugh.
I just got back from meeting up with VelouriaL to wish her good luck on her move and see that sparkly in person, and I can attest that it is SPECTACULAR in person!!! Sooo pretty, all the engraving really just MAKES the ring. The tourmaline is a gorgeous grass green, and the little diamonds are SUPER sparkly and throw off rainbows!! It looks so great on her hand...the pics just don''t do it justice.
