Hi everybody!

I've been going out with this guy since 1999..
just over christmas break, he asked me to meet him downtown and i said ok.
i turned out being 3.5 hours late, and he was all dressed up & waiting for me at the mall (which he did NOT want to be at).
i ruined all his plans of touring me around all the places we used to spend lots of time at.
but he did take me to the museum (where we used to spend a lot of time).. got down on one knee w ring in hand, and said, "u know i love you, and i guess what i'm trying to say is, i would like to spend the rest of my life with you. i would like u to be my wife"
so i just stood there.. waiting.. waiting.. (1 minute passed)

then he asks me "so, what's my answer?"

i reply, "you didn't ask me anything!"

then he asks and we are finally engaged. i could hear his heart beating so fast from a 1/2 foot away!

anyway, 4 months prior, i was 99% certain i only wanted the emerald cut ballerine by cartier. after i tried it on, it looked horrible (on me)! so i made him in charge of choosing the ring. we ended up going to royal de versailles, birks, and tiffany. at the end of the day, he says to me that he thinks the novo by tiffany looked the best on my finger.

so here it is!! i was so shocked he got it for me cuz 1 wk prior to the engagement, he started this argument about how we should wait til we're done school b4 we spend so lavishly.. blah blah.. i was so angry cuz he thought the novo was perfect, yet, he didn't want to get it anymore! boy was i wrong.

my ring is 0.94ct, VVS1, D clarity.

it is so sparkley!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND buying from TIFFANY!!
Perks from Tiffany:
-Ring resizing & cleaning is free FOREVER.
-lifetime warranty too.
-they only sell ideal cut diamonds.
-GUARANTEED NON-CONFLICT DIAMOND, fully abiding by the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme

hope u all have a wonderful engagement story & ring too!!
and moral of the story: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE try your ring on before you buy it!!

the tiffany novo is a brilliant cushion, by the way :)
.. which is different from a cushion. the brilliant cushion shapes are patented by tiffany. other cushions don''t sparkle as much as round (aka brilliant) shapes do.. so this tiffany''s cushion was created to increase the sparkle factor. it''s basically a round shape on the bottom, cushion on top. it''s magnificent!!

How beautiful! I enjoyed your story, way to go by making him actually ask you. You have great restraint!

Your ring is very lovely and such great quality. Enjoy it!

MrsSalvo: oops! i knew that! hehe

Motownmama: carat wt on band is.. not part of the 0.94 that i quoted. big name jewellery stores (tiffany, harry winston, cartier, etc) don't include the carat size of the non-central diamond in the size quoted, whereas others usually do so. not sure what the carat wt is.. but there are 16 pave diamonds along the band

Coatimundi: can't remember my ring size. it's either 3.75 or 4.75. :p

I appreciate all your comments & pleasant words!! it's nice to be able to share good news with others :) please share yours too!!

here are some more pics!

Your finger looks about 4.75 I think. Congrats on your engagement! He sounds like a really sweet man who wanted to get a wonderful ring for his girl.

You have a very beautiful ring

The carat weight on the band is .16ct. There are 16 x 1pt diamonds.

AsianHoney: you stated that "the brilliant cushion shapes are patented by tiffany". I am pretty sure that the Novo is not a patented cut, I asked about this last time I was there having my ring polished. They said the Lucida and Legacy were the only patented cuts they had... Does anyone else know about this?

Wow, 3.5 hours late?? You''re lucky he was still in the mood to ask. Actually, you''re lucky he was still there. My hubby would''ve been gone after about 45 minutes.

Yeah our SA told us also that it was only the lucida and the legacy which were patented cuts. I just checked their website and while it says that the Lucida and the Legacy were, it doesn''t say anything about the novo on their site.
