Because I''m ENGAGED to my best friend!!
We went on a long bike ride to a state park in the area, biked around a big lake, and stopped under some pretty trees for a fall-time picnic. We ate our food and lounged on the blanket a bit. Then he bonked me on the head (ugh!) and I scolded him... (he was pulling the ring out of his pocket) after apologizing he turned to me and said, "I have to ask you something..." And told me how he loved me and wanted to love me for the rest of my life... And I started crying... Aaaaand he asked, I said yes, etc, etc.
It took a while before I noticed a ring box that was resting on my hand. It''s a gooorgeous round brilliant that''s very sparkly
And that''s all I know about it. It''s in a temporary setting- the jeweler has the wax mold ready for the custom setting, but FI (!!!) wanted me to give the ''go ahead'' and approve it before it became the REAL thing. Basically, it''s the Tiffany Legacy ala Round Brilliant stone.
EXACTLY what I wanted.
He''s being hasty about telling me the specs of the stone. He doesn''t want me to judge it. All I know is it''s ''G'' color, eye-clean, ''very good'' cut, and no flouresence. I''m guessing it''s a bit above 1 carat. As he said, "It''s a very good diamond but not a perfect diamond"-- And all I have to say is, "WTF! I don''t care! It''s BEAUTIFUL!!!" (But rest assured, I''ll get the stats one way or another) Oooh.. and most importantly, Conflict-Free from Canada!!!
But wow. I''m so excited. SO SO excited. I can''t wait to get my real setting and then I''ll post some pics. Being without it will be TORTURE!!!
:sigh: What a great day.
