antiquediamond Rough Rock Total Posts: 75 Last Post: 1/26/2004 Member Since: 6/30/2003	I love your MM ring with the heart prongs. But I'm very biased as I have one too!! The European cut stone is very beautiful and very white. I had considered an old stone, but there very hard to find. It's great that you had one in the family. It means so much that way -- and your idea for engraving is just beautiful. She's going to love it. I have a ? Is the table square? I think it looks so unique. Do you have any ideas for a band yet? I posted a link to my rind below so you can see it with a round brilliant. Isn't Mark amazing??? Congratulations to you and happy proposing!!! http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asptopicID=10518&sessionID=2DD339CBC7C247DD849FDD2ECF932496

Mikesgirl Cut Rock Total Posts: 348 Last Post: 12/9/2003 Member Since: 8/30/2003	Very beautiful ring and different (and meaningful)stone. I love the idea of besheret as your engraving. That a great improvement over the dodi li v'li dodi that is so typical to jewish wedding/engagement rings. And the meaning transcends the engagement - you will find that, once you are married, even more things in your lives are recognized as besheret. "Where ever you go, there you are."

If this link doesn't work, it's actually in the rocky talky section, about three pgs. in titled "I want to post a picture of my MM ring." Just to let you know, we are getting the matching wedding ring w/ the loop in it so the 2 fit perfectly together. I too was concerned about wearing it alone, but Mark designed it so you can spin it around and it looks like a regular ring. I like plain; it makes the beautiful setting stand out even more. Besides, I hope to get a diamond anniversary band one day! So, did you give it to her already, do tell us the story and post pix of the ring on her hand.

antiquediamond Rough Rock Total Posts: 75 Last Post: 1/26/2004 Member Since: 6/30/2003	From what I can tell, the designs of our settings are almost identical. The ones on the Coopers site are my ring and band! I had never considered a plain band, but when we first looked there I tried them on together and that's what sealed the deal for us on the ring. I absolutely loved them together. I really just can't see having something compete w/ the setting, because it's just perfect the way it is. I've tried on eternity bands, bands w/ 5 diamonds, nothing has looked as good as the one that was made for it does. I'd like to know if you find something though. Keep in touch, and of course, have an amazing weekend!! She will be absolutely thrilled!!!

Jolie Rough Rock Total Posts: 52 Last Post: 11/1/2006 Member Since: 11/10/2003	I just had to chime in and say that is the single most beautifully set ring I have ever seen. I am a big fan of the traditional six-prong style, and your ring does an amazing job of highlighting the stone while still presenting the setting itself as a work of art. The prongs look beautiful and substantial at the same time - not common or flimsy. The entire ring seems to have a smooth flow. And the soliatire setting leads the eye directly to the stone without distraction. The type of setting that will never go out of style.
