I got my hands on my mother's upgrade and had to snap a few pictures because let's face it I will never be able to get this ring off my mother's finger again LOL. My father finally decided to bite the bullet and surprise my mother this incredible ring for their 25 year anniversary. I don't have the specifics on center stone or the ring. Sorry! Here is what I do know: The ring was custom made in one of LA's diamond district and the center stone is GIA, E color, VVS1, EX/EX/EX, and no florescence. My parents are superstitious and wouldn't consider anything lower in clarity. My parents were arranged here in the U.S., my father was 24 and my mother was 20, and their first time meeting each other was on their WEDDING DAY! It sounds a bit crazy in my mind still... because I can't see myself in that situation..., but 25 years later my parents are still happily married with three children. My parents say that in here in America people do things backwards... Americans fall in love then get married, whereas they got married and then fell in love LOL. Since, they were arranged my mother's parents bought my dad his wedding ring and my father's parents bought my mom her rings. Her wedding set was a little over a carat and wasn't the best quality. Neither of my parents had a say in what they got! Now she has this beauty to wear and cherish everyday.

Just for reference my finger is a size 6.

The ring is amazing and totally blingalicious!!! Huge congrats on your parents' 25 anniversary...it's a huge accomplishment in today's world!!! But tell your dad that regardless of the fact that his own "first i get married-then i fall in love" story worked out well, it was really him that did it all backwards and not the rest of us who first fell in love and then got married...(and please make sure that you follow the right order yourself too ;-) :razz: ).

MissGotRocks: The center stone is 2.56 ct. I'm not sure how many carats the ring is total, even my mom doesn't know :lol: because she too in love with the ring to even care at the moment.

natyLad: When he told me this I told him, "Dad, you are in America. You did it backwards here. If you were back home, then you would have done things the right way :lol:"

Thank to everyone else with the kind greetings :)

What an amazing ring! I love your parents story too, so many happy marriages started that way, perhaps we do do it backwards here! Congrats to parents!
