Some of you folks might remember me as the guy who met up with "Winnie" at a Starbucks in NYC to see her ring (http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=36661).  In any case, the ring project has been completed and I must say it's a beauty!

I followed in Winnie's footsteps and went to see Mark Turnowski (http://www.engagementringsdirect.com) and it was a great experience!  Not only did he give me a great price on this 1.52c GVS2, but he made me the setting of my dreams as well!

Since I'm not proposing for a few weeks, here are some box shots:

I will definitely post hand shots.

For some reason the stone looks glossy in the pics, but I can assure you it's stunning to the eye.  Also, Mark had his photographer take some professional pictures for his website, which he promised to send me ASAP. As soon as he sends em over I'll put em up.  *nudges Mark*

Edit:  The pics were taken in "macro" mode...most digital cameras have this feature, just dust off the owners manual...

Not only is the ring gorgeous, but that second photo in particular is incredible ... it might be one of the best photos of a diamond I've seen on here. Way to capture all its beauty!!

Yeah this waiting is going to kill me I know it.  I spent so much time on finding the perfect stone, perfect setting, etc.  I haven't even had it 6 hours and I want to give it to her.  It's going to be tough to hold out for 2 weeks.

Who knows though, maybe you'll see hand shots on here sooner then that ..

And yeah, the second came out really well.  That's the one I've been sending to my friends ;)

Mark T sends work to Leon Mege, so I suspect that's an Art of Platinum ring.
Fatgay - what do the markings inside the ring say?
It's a beauty - excellent work!

I don't think there are any markings inside the ring since it was custom made...I could be wrong though.  My GF's home so I can't really inspect it, but I'll have a look tomorrow.

fatguy, how could we forget you, you gave us some laughs.  The ring you and Mark have created is FANTASTIC, I love it, it's GORGEOUS.  Your picture taking skills are excellent.  I definitely can't wait to hear about the proposal and see the hand shots.
