Thanks again everyone for your nice comments. When I called my dad to tell him about the engagement, I was reminded of the first time I took FH out to meet dad. I grew up on a farm and dad was always the strong working one. I think all little girls have this picture of their dad in their head of the strong provider. Well, dad has MS and his state has gotten continually worse over the years. When I took FH out to meet him for the first time, we went skeet shooting on the farm and dad fell because his legs couldn''t support him. I''d never seen my dad fall before and I was in a bit of shock. FH immediately went over and picked him up. I knew at that moment that he was the man I wanted to call my husband. It was also when the roles began to change in the relationship I have with my parents.
So, while the ring is amazing... it''s those small things that mean so much more to me than he''ll ever realize.
As a side note, we''re planning on getting married in Vegas and dad may not be able to attend due to his health. FH said we could do a separate ceremony out on the farm, "in a corn field, or wherever you want" so that dad could be there. Okay, I''m starting to tear up over here... thanks again!

Your FH sounds like a sweetheart! Family is so important.

Your ring is beautiful. The basket detail is so lovely and delicate. I love VC rings...if you hadn''t guessed by now. Thank you for sharing! Congratulations again!

Congratulations! Your ring is gorgeous and your fiance sounds like a great guy. I think 2 weddings are definitely in order so your dad can see you get married. And maybe 2 gorgeous VC bands, too...1 for each wedding!

Seahorsegurl,
Are you thinking of getting the matching band? Also, I think we might need a couple more pictures.

This is my first post on PS. I''ve been ''lurking'' here for a couple of weeks....learning about diamonds, settings, etc.... and looking at LOTS of pics on here!

Seahorsegurl, your ring is absolutely exquisite! I am currently trying to decide between two different VanCraeynest settings: this one (#484), and #457. I LOVE the 484 setting, but I wonder if the metalwork (scrolling? not sure what it''s called) and also the little ridge around the outside is going to be collecting dirt, etc. Of course I''d be happy to use a little toothbrush and water on it each day, but was wondering how the "antiquing" (not sure what it''s called) would hold up to that ?

Any thoughts/experience with this (or a similar setting)?

Hey, AnitaT, thanks for the link.
Yes, I have been to that thread...a few times, actually.

I don''t think I could ever tire of looking at pics of any ring by VC.
And that one (w/the ruby) is so beautiful!
