I Picked up the ring yesterday! I think she will love it! I couldn't be happier with the final result!

Description of the ring:

Oval brilliant cut .70CT center stone set east /west in a four prong white gold setting. The sides contain 36 round brilliant cut diamonds of approximately .45CT TW. Total weight 1.15CT TW.

Description of the Center Diamond:

Cut: Oval Brilliant Cut
Carat Weight: .70CT
Color: F
Clarity: S11

Fluorescence: None
Finish: VG/VG
Measurement: 7.05 - 4.81 x 3.13mm
Table: 55.5%
Crown: 15.5%
Pavillion: 45.5%

I am thrilled with this engagement ring. I plan on giving it to my future fiance during a carriage ride I have arranged through Central park a few days before Christmas. I will post hand shots of the ring soon after.

Thank you to all for your help and support!

Here are a few pictures of the ring:

Hi,
I love the setting, it looks like the set I have on my original e-ring. 
I also love that you set the oval differently.  She will definitely love this ring!

OK, that is just totally drop-dead gorgeous, and unique. She is going to pass out, so just be sure to hold onto her when you propose or she might fall out of the carriage!

GOOD LORD  that ring is down right jaw dropping.   I had to scroll up in the thread three times just to look at it again as I am typing this.

JOB VERY WELL DONE... gorgeous gorgous gorge - g  - ous.

Thank you all for your kind words. I am very excited about presenting this ring to my fiancé. For those of you who asked, I purchased the diamond and the setting at Bentley Diamond Importers down at the Jersey shore. They had a huge selection of loose diamonds and more ovals than I could ever had hoped for. They were very accommodating and did not try to talk me into something I did not want.

I had tried a few places in the NYC diamond district, and I am sure that I could have found something lovely up there as well, but many of the dealers I dealt with had few ovals to show me or ones that were out of my price range. (I had a budget of 5K for the diamond and setting, which I could not exceed).

The people at Bentley were very helpful and I did not feel pressured at all. My experience there was so nice that I will be going back with my Fiancé to pick out wedding bands (assuming she says yes!) I will post hand pics after the proposal next Tuesday. Thanks again for checking out the pictures!!!!

Sooo pretty and so original! Just lovely. I, too, am a real fan of ovals. I got talked out of one because of all of the Pricescope talk about the light return of a hearts and arrows round. Your oval really makes a case for beautiful ovals everywhere, though!

Hmmm, I think I need another diamond.
