Capt Sparkle Rough Rock Total Posts: 11 Last Post: 8/5/2009 Member Since: 5/10/2009	I am glad I delayed my purchase for a diamond before coming to this site. I have been lurking around and reading on the more important aspects of a diamond. I wound up going with this one from good old gold for my GF's enguagement ring. Tell me what your think! http://goodoldgold.com/diamond/5575/

Well done. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn

Well I like that ring, but that's because I have one almost like it in WG. However, that style is not for everyone, or at least the thicker band. Many gals like thinner bands so it makes the diamond "pop".

Capt Sparkle Rough Rock Total Posts: 11 Last Post: 8/5/2009 Member Since: 5/10/2009	She has no idea as this is a surprise. I wish I knew more, but she does not wear any jewelry as odd as that sounds. Everytime in the past (6yrs (I know this is overdue)) I hinted about B-day jewelry and she said not to get it. She has bigger hands and is a taller woman. She also is somewhat accident prone so I figured I would get a setting that is a little thicker. I am still open to suggestions however on the different types of settings.

I am still open to suggestions however on the different types of settings. Actually, it's not that odd, we've had many a guy say the same thing! Ok, since she's not a big jewelry hound, I would say this could be a lovely, safe selection. I don't think she would be the type to care so much about how big the diamond looks (not that it's not already a great size!). And it's a really pretty, feminine setting. Also, it's well made, so it can take some knocks, as I speak from personal experience. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N.
