Hi all!

Lurker and occasional poster freshly engaged 2 hours ago in our backyard.

I came home from running some errands and was sitting on a chaise on our patio when he said " I think the cat left something under your chair, it looks like it might be a bird" I freaked out of course and he pulled a real looking but fake blackbird out from under my chair and I was laughing and mildly p!ssed so I threw a glass of water on him. Then poor guy standing there soaked pulls out a box from the bird''s claws and proposes. I was truly in shock. I said I wanted it to be a surprise and it certainly was.

I helped pick out the stone which is from Whiteflash. Stats to follow. The setting is by Etienne Perret up in Maine and he did this lightning fast, I think the stone arrived on Tuesday, set it and sent it back by Friday. I''m still in shock, originally we thought it would be a few weeks so I definitely wasn''t expecting it this weekend.

Here''s the stats and of course lots of pics. Thanks for all the helpful advice, we got a fantastic stone because of all you experts and the designers resource page is how I found Etienne''s website in the first place. Thanks!

Originally I was concerned about the J and the warmth I saw at home when the stone was loose but now that it''s set I can''t believe how white it is.

I never realized my skin was so lizard-like. I was planning on getting a manicure in a week or two in anticipation but he beat me too it.

Welcome to the Happy J Club!

I love how low the stone sits, the tubular shank of the ring, and the way the setting shows off the naked culet! *YUM-O!*

Congratulations!!!!

Beautiful! What a gorgeous ring!! Very classic, yet modern with clean, fluid lines!

Does the culet (bottom of diamond) poke into your finger through the bottom?

is excited and very proud of your kind responses.



Jelly- the culet just barely floats above my finger so I don''t think it will be an issue.
