So, the results are pretty suprising. He didn''t like the u prong with accent stone AT ALL. He thought it was ugly. He liked the Cinderella Story, but thought it might be a little too ''girly'' for my hands. (I have sort of large hands like my father). Thought the Tiffany 6 prong was too plain and asked why suggest a setting that''s only $50? I said ''well, that way you could put more effort into the stone.'' Of all things, he liked the symphony! He didn''t think the other ones had any "pop". He says ''ok, I just wanted an idea of what you liked.'' I asked if we could look at stones online as well, since I know he doesn''t know diamonds (neither do I really), but he has faith in the jeweler he wants to go to. I wanted to discuss the kind/size of stone I would like, but didn''t want to push it. When I mentioned the setting I like, I would always state that would look good with a 1 carat stone (hehehehehehe)
Now I wait. |

Uggghhh...waiting is pure torture!!!!
When you feel yourself getting anxious, just take a deep breathe and remember that it''s in his court now (and he seems like a very responsive man)...if that doesn''t work, have a glass of wine. I can''t even count the number of nights I didn''t sleep because I was so excited and anticipating my ring. Congrats and good luck! |

Humor is one way to get through the waiting stage. Other methods can be too expensive- like shopping, or too destructive- like becoming close buddies with Ben&Jerry to calm the nerves.
 I emailed Whiteflash to ask if the styles I like could be made in yellow gorld, which they can. But it seems, if I''m understanding Jamie correctly, that I can only have a ring made with them- no other jewelers are authorized to make Whiteflash designs. So I may have to start looking at some other styles. That''s ok... as long as the stone is beautiful and the future propossal comes from the heart I''m not too concerned. |

Thanks for posting the picture. I don''t think I will be able to get that though. I let him know that the ring can only be made with WF''s craftsmen and you have to send them the stone. He mentioned it the other day, once again, that he has his heart set on using this ''other jeweler'' so that was ok. OK for who?? I have no idea what type of work "they" do. The only example I have of their work is his sister''s ering. It is a beautiful 3-stone ring (with some knockout stones BTW) but that''s not what I would like.
My issue now- he wants an idea of what I like, but how do I get an idea of what designs they do since he wants to keep it a surprise? I''ll feel kind of weird calling them up with a slew of design questions. |

I have the shop''s number. I''m in Boston and the shop is in a suburb about 45 mins. away. I''ve almost picked up the phone a million times in the past month! Unfortunately, they don''t have a site so I would have to go in to get an idea. Between work during the day and school at night I haven''t had the time.
