My boyfriend finally proposed last night!!!!!! He did it while I was looking at pricescope! I wasn't expecting the ring to be ready yet, so it was a TOTAL suprise.
 
I don't have all the specs on the ring yet. This is what I know
 
The setting is A Jaffe ME1279 in 18K White Gold. Its a 3 stone truffle-type setting, but its got some variations
 
The center stone is a European cut which I inherited from my great grandmother. It was a SIDE stone in a ring with a large emerald center stone. My sister has the matchind diamond side stone, and my cousin has the big emerald.
Here is what I know about it
.955 ct
SI1
I-J Color
6.19 mm diameter
 
I don't know anything about the sidestones yet. I will find out though!
 
Edit - The side stones are .30 ct each. I have known that all along, but forgot that it was important!
 
 
 
 
These pics aren't great.  I'll post more as I take some decent ones!!

This shot looks really yellow, but I think it gives a good idea of the ring as a whole

The ring is gorgeous.  No wonder you were so anxious to get it.  How wonderful that he was able to surprise you.  You must be so thrilled to be wearing your great grandmother's diamond.  It is as if she has blessed your futures together. 
 
The best to both of you.
 
Congratulations!

oh MelissaSue, I feel sooo special to be a part of your proposal!  I didn't read the other thread, I saw this one and was so excited for you!    It's so sweet that he hid it from you, cuz trust me, it's too much pressure to wait knowing if he has it.  and congratulations!!!

Beautiful ring. It's special to have an heirloom.

Dang, if I wasn't surprised! I poked into the SMTR forum & saw "I'm engaged" & to my surprise it was you.

Congrats to your Fiance & Best Wishes to you.
