HI:

Well done!

Congrats!!

[Gr8fulDave]

Thanks for the kind words; we''re very excited. She knew the proposal was imminent as she choose the setting, but she had no idea that I already had the stone so I completely surprised her with the timing.

Thank you. The setting is a line by Verragio called Impressa and it''s a 3 Row Round Channel and Pave Set Ring .45tcw G SI. She surprised herself with her choice because when we first started looking she thought she wanted a fairly plain band with maybe one small channel set stone in the band on each side of the center stone. Well, you know what they say about a woman''s prerogative....

Very, very beautiful! I bet that thing blinds people with all the bling! I am currently having the plain band v. bling band discussion with my SO - he likes plain bands but I like the bling - I have a feeling I''m going to win out.

Verragio is such a great line! Congrats!

 

[gwendolyn]

Beautiful!! Congrats on your engagement, mate! Can we get any hand shots with her hands instead of yours?
