Hiiiii!! My name is Nicole, from about 1.5 hours from Philadelphia.. Anyone seen thow show The Office?? thats where im from :) haha... anyways, im so excited because my boyfriend and I picked out my engagement ring todayyyy and put the down payment on it!!

I am a very simple girl so i did not want anything huge... My mother has a huge engagement ring and it covers the whole entire top of her finger, and i said all the power to you mom, but im simple and sweet. It may be small but I picked out a 1.2 k diamond and picked my band seperately.. 18k white gold cathedral setting, 4 prong... My boyfriend said when he saw it on me my entire face LIT up and he knew that was the one i wanted, so we put the down payment on it ... we even got 1100$ off the ring because I had mentioned I was looking at rings from a chain jewerly store.. He matches the price, plus more. I immediately said that was it!!!.. I almost cried a little too and he didnt even ask me yet haha...

He was a little upset at first because he wanted to pick it out but then decided it would be best if i came along so i wasnt dissapointed. He said though that when hes ready to ask me, thats his entire decision so it was a definite compromise.

I graduate with my masters degree in forensic medicine in August.... so i think when the whole family is together, both of our sides, at my graduation party, thats when hes asking! :) :::crosses fingerss:::

sorry to bore u but i had to blab because im just extremely excited!

Thanks for listening,
Nicole

p.s. sorry no pic yet, they r placing the diamond on the setting ... but when i do, I will post!

Your ring sounds beautiful! I hope he proposes at your graduation.

Do you feel like even more of a lady-in-waiting now that your ring is picked out?

1.2 ct is quite sizeable!

1.2 is not small at all! It''s almost triple the carat weight of my engagement ring.

Congratulations on picking out a ring!

Considering the average is 0.33ct (real world - not PS average!), 1.2ct is not small at all! I think that is a great size - like you I do not prefer much larger stones on my own hand - my ering is a sapphire that faces up like a 1.25ct RB and I find it perfect for my own lifestyle, style and so on. I admire larger stones but not for my everyday-wearing ring! Whatever works for you and your budget is perfect!

Enjoy this excitement!

Yay! I went with my boyfriend too. And also I (and he) originally wanted him to do all the leg work but he got super frustrated and really wanted me to have what I wanted. So I feel in love all over again, with him and a Tacori setting, lol.

Congratulations!!
