Well after several weeks of searching for the perfect setting/stone combination, it's finally here!

Stats on center:
Oval Brilliant GIA cert
8.18 x 5.92 x 3.69mm
1.20 carat
Depth 62.3%
Table 55%
Girdle slightly thick to thick, faceted
Culet none
Polish VG
Symmetry VG
Clarity VS2
Color J
Fluorescence Faint

Sidestones are .50 ct tw trillions, I-J color, VS2 clarity. Setting is white gold.





Some of the prongs might need a little tweaking, but overall I'm extremely pleased. Lots of fire for fancy shaped stones! I plan on getting down on one knee within a month or so. Need her parents' blessings first. Wish me luck!!

I want to add that Jennifer and Josh at DirtCheapDiamonds did a great job in handling my needs. They pinpointed exactly what I wanted and the price was outstanding. I highly recommend them for any sort of diamond you may need. 75% of what I buy, I buy online, but I was a little hesitant about dropping several thousands over the net, sight unseen, but I was extremely pleased.

John Dickinson did the setting and I think he did a great job of interpreting what I wanted. Thanks to both DCD and Dickinson By Design.

I am a huge fan of ovals and your ring is simply beautiful.  I love trillions as side stones!!!!  It's gorgeous, good job, and good luck with your proposal.  Make sure you come back with lots of hand pics, that's a must you know.

Thanks everyone for your kind remarks. It might be awhile before we get some hand shots. Her parents live 75 miles away and I can't really get away from work right now to ask them. But I will definitely post hand pics later. Thanks again.
