I am sooooooooo excited to share this news with you all! About 5 years ago, my now-husband J proposed with a ring I inherited from my grandmother. It was meant to be temporary since it isn't my style, but it is taking us a long time to save up money to get the ring of my dreams. My patience was starting to get stretched so we decided to get a ring now that I can upgrade to the dream ring when we have the money. It's going to be shipped on Tuesday and I am just over the moon!! :bigsmile:

It's an ideal cut (GIA excellent/AGS0, 1.3 HCA score) eyeclean 0.8 JSI2 in a simple 6-prong white gold setting. Here's the diamond info for anyone interested: http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/11993/

And the video David made of it for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VelFgSXq2zM&feature=youtu.be

I need to say what an absolutely amazing experience it was working with David, Stephanie & Marie from Good Old Gold. They all consistently went over and above to provide me with the friendliest, most helpful service in everything--and so quickly too! David checked my stone in all lighting situations around the stone to check for eye cleanliness and made a video for me to see the stone in action. As an international customer who can't visit the store, I really appreciated his thoroughness! Stephanie took beautiful photos of my stone in the setting options before I chose which I wanted and she took more after it was set, and Marie helped sort of the complexities of my international payment with patience and understanding. The incredible level of customer service made me feel 100% confident to make this purchase from overseas and I have no doubt that when my ring arrives it will knock my socks off. :)

Hi Gwendolyn! So nice to see you again!

Congrats on your new ring! It is very beautiful and I love the simple solitaire setting. How wonderful to now be able to work with GOG on any upgrades you might want in the future. However, for now - just enjoy this new ring - the diamond looks beautiful!

Thank you so much, everyone!! My current engagement ring stone is about 0.5ct (well, at a guess--it's 4mm anyway). So even though this is still a small-ish stone (especially for my big fingers), it is an upgrade in both size and quality for me! Cannot WAIT to see it in person! :bigsmile:

YAAAAY!! :appl:

That is indeed a sparkler! Gorgeous! I also recently worked with David and Stephanie at GOG and had an equally excellent experience. Enjoy your beautiful ring!

Here's my current wedding set--my wedding band is from IDJ, the stackable with round & princess diamonds. Please forgive the horrible nails and giant puffy fingers! :tongue:

It sounds like you worked hard with GOG to pick a gorgeous diamond. I agree they are a great company to work with and with their upgrade program, at least for me, I never feel quite finished with them! I hope you love your ring when it arrives.
