chicagohills and I Are Official!

loves_chicagohills Rough Rock Total Posts: 11 Last Post: 4/29/2004 Member Since: 3/16/2004	After many weeks that seemed like they would never pass, I finally received chicagohills' ring last week, and I proposed on Wednesday... (You guys can guess her answer...) We are both absolutely thrilled with the setting and stone, both of which we purchased through the awesome staff at Good Old Gold. I'm going to post a thread about my GOG experience in Rockytalky and a description of the big day in Proposals, but in the meantime... Here are the specs and a few pix taken by Christen at GOG.... More of our own pix to come later... Setting is by Richard Landi with an Antique style finish and 273 round brilliant diamonds (1.20 ct) of various sizes in pavé and micropavé setting all the way around the ring. Center stone is 0.998 ct H&A round brilliant, G color, SI1. The ring's total ct weight is approximately 2.20 cts.

wallace Cut Rock Total Posts: 282 Last Post: 5/1/2004 Member Since: 3/11/2004	Thanks, Tawn! I guess I missed it b/c I like the modern look - this ring looks like a variation on a square cut that was on the site- similar but not the same. However, this one just takes my breath away!

The ring turned out absolutely amazing and I think you made the right choice in not going Regent for the stone, the round looks divinely perfect in there.

loves_chicagohills Rough Rock Total Posts: 11 Last Post: 4/29/2004 Member Since: 3/16/2004	Thank you all very much for your kind words and compliments... We've been incredibly busy the last few days (hence no finger pics yet), but they are coming soon. We might even be able to take a few this evening. In response to a few comments: Yes, the gallery surrounding the center stone really does do amazing things visually. The diamond looks really BIG sometimes, but it's honestly not too big or flashy... The proportions are just perfect for chicagohills' lovely finger. For our wedding band, we're going to talk to Mr. Landi about designing a matching ring, very likely something like the e-ring's band but in pink sapphires. Finally, that's Ed Norton from Fight Club in the avatar, but I love the idea that it's him being blinded by the ring...

Matata Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,647 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 9/10/2003	Pink sapphires in the band!!! Oh wow. That is going to be so very pretty. But why stop at one, imagine how incredible it would look with a band of pink above and below. ~~~~~~~~~~ There is only one way to achieve happiness on this terrestrial ball, and that is to have a clear conscience or none at all.
