So many of you offered up advice & guidance during our ring selection process- THANK YOU! I wanted to share the first pics of my perfect ring from my perfect FIANCE! I don't have a many clear handshots yet, but I just couldn't wait any longer :)

FH proposed on our amazing vacation to Lake Tahoe last week (if you have never been, GO!) and really caught me by surprise, even though I knew it was coming eventually.

The center stone info is here: http://goodoldgold.com/diamond/7447/ and this baby won't stop DANCING! I literally have to make myself stop staring it. As gorgeous as the AVC's are in photos and even videos, it is no comparison to what they look like in real life!

The setting was created by the fabulous Brian Gavin & team, whom I did not work with personally but FH has done nothing but rave about his experience with them. The ring is Brian's amazing fishtail pave, done with a cathedral shank, basket head, and double claw prongs. I simply cannot tell you how happy I am with the pave- I tried on SO many pave rings..some from very pricey, well known designers- and NOTHING compares to the sparkle and craftmanship of BGD.

I've only had it a week and have gotten so many compliments on it already!! OK, I will stop gushing and show you some bling! Pro pics first:

Congratulations!! :appl: Gorgeous ring, very similar design to what I just got my fiancee except I did diamond studded prongs instead of claw prongs (which I definitely considered) and I have to say, I love the way the prongs turned out!!! I love how all the little variations add so much to settings. Good luck to you both! 8)

Thank you all so much :) I just HAD to return to share pics.. you all gave us advice from picking out the stone all the way thru the final approval of the CAD's! Having a ring custom made was brand new territory for both of us, and we just could not be happier with how it turned out. I've been going thru vacation pics this morning and found a couple fun ones to share :love:

Huge congrats on your engagement!! And of course, your STUNNING ring! It's so beautiful - and the setting really sets off the AVC perfectly. And I totally know what you mean about AVCs - pix really don't capture what they do in real life, and your pix are beautiful!!!
:love:

Congratulations, and wear it in health and happiness!!

Erinn, congratulations on your engagement. YOur ring is stunning, everything about it is just perfect.
Great pics too. (I'll let the Aggie hat go without any mention of my Horns, tee hee. Just joking with you)

Beautiful ring, enjoy.
