I've finally made it to SMTB! It will probably take me a few days to organize my pictures and write up some posts, so this first post will just be a teaser...
First things first: She said "Yes"!
...And she loves her ring! 
The proposal was the day before Valentine's Day (the 13th is the date of our monthly anniversary, and her favorite number), at a romantic bed & breakfast -- a 19th century mansion, with vintage furniture and decor (so the ambiance matched the vintage-style ring perfectly!). I had arranged with the inn-keeper to have our room decorated with flowers, champagne, candles and rose-petals while I took my intended to dinner, so the scene was set for when we returned. I do remember getting down on one knee by the fireplace, but the rest is a bit of a blur! Tears were shed, smiles were smiled, and the quest finally reached its happy end.
Slightly anonymized post-proposal selfie (after we'd calmed down a bit from the excitement!)
Your not really engaged until you make it Facebook official, lol
She was so happy with the ring itself, it turned out perfect for her, and she describes it as "amazing". I snapped a really cute candid photo in which she's gazing adoringly at the ring on her hand, but it's too personal to share here, sorry! Beyond the happiness of finally being engaged to the woman of my dreams, it was very gratifying to see her genuine excitement about the engagement ring... all the time and effort put in to this labor of love paid off in the end.
Part of my journey to make this custom-designed ring a reality is described in this testimonial thread .
As time permits, I will add to my SMTB thread to write more about the ring and how it came to be -- and of course to share more pictures.
In the meantime, here are two glamour photos courtesy of the vendor (CvB Inspired Design):
