Hi all!
First of all please let me say thank you to everyone who patiently answered my questions or posted helpful information that aided in our ring search. My fiancee proposed on Sunday after taking me on a pond-side picnic at our favorite local winery. It was amazing!
We had done some ring shopping together - picked out the stone together - and we both really liked the pave settings so I left it up to him to select the setting. Our stone is a 1.51 cushion cut (GIA I/VS1), set in a pretty white gold pave setting (size 4.5)
Despite the great suggestions to buy online, we decided to go with my family jeweler in NJ - he created the ring my brother got for my SIL and many pieces my Dad had created for my Mom over the years. I am blown away at what a great job he did. He took the setting my fiancee selected, replaced the head and lowered it (per my request not to have a high setting). He also took into consideration the need for a band to sit as flush as possible. It's perfect for me and I love it - it sparkles like CRAZY especially in sunlight!
I'm going to attempt to post a picture...my camera isn't producing pics as great as many here unfortunately.....here's what I have for now...
