I love, LOVE how the end prongs holding the pear sides form little hearts!!!

 

[JenStone]

I''m not sure what kind of plant this is, but it''s one of my mom''s and it''s pretty...

 

[JenStone]

The bowtie is SOOOO minimal! Gary and Mark did a fabulous job finding this stone!!!!

 

[JenStone]

I''m trying to be artistic by perching it on one of my father''s rock sculptures...

 

[JenStone]

Ack! Better catch it before it falls!

 

[JenStone]

On my ring finger...

 

[JenStone]

BEAUTIFUL! Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!

...and that''s all, I''m afraid. Last night I went out with some friends to celebrate and they all were BLINDED by my ring.

They said the pictures I sent them did not do the ring justice...the diamonds are ALIVE in real life! They even seemed to glow in the dark lighting of the bar we were at.

I stopped by ERD yesterday to pick up some paperwork for my boyfriend and Mark was there to greet me. He asked to see my ring again and admired it, saying it''s one of the best ovals he''s seen in quite some time.

I felt sooo proud and happy, especially since I was in an office surrounded by huge, spectacular bling!

Thank you, Gary and Mark! And to my fiance (I''m still getting used to calling him that) for proposing with such a beautiful ring!
