I am so excited I had to share -- I just got engaged to the man of my dreams!
I hope everyone can share in this blessing and have great happiness!!!!

Here's the amazing ring!  It's a 3 carat round brilliant solitaire.  F SI1.  Blazing white.   No fluorescence.  What we love so much about this diamond is its incredibly fiery and brilliant personality.   If diamonds were cheerleaders, this one would be one of those hilarious SNL cheerleaders.  LOL. 

And I can't believe he did this with no help!  What a complete surprise.  I feel so lucky!

Sorry about the blurry camera pics!  Isn't he the greatest?!!?????

And I get to marry him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so happy, ladies and gents!!!!!!! 
I hope everyone can share in this blessing and have great happiness!!!!

I wish the camera phone pics would show some of the fire.  In the pics it seems more brilliant, when it's actually more fiery.  Natural sunlight brings out the brilliant white while other lights bring out the fire.  I wonder if that makes sense?    It's so much fun.  I keep sticking it in my husband-to-be's face for him to admire.  So far, so good because it makes him laugh!!!!!

For you side profile junkies!   

The setting is so beautiful.  He chose a simple and lovely platinum 4-prong stuller solstice.  I love how it shows off the diamond.  Plus, this makes it soooo much easier to clean!    Let the obsessive cleaning begin!!!!!

Thank you, Sharon!!!!

I've been admiring your rocks (from a distance -- because you can see them from that far away!) for a long time on Pricescope. 

VERY BEAUTIFUL!  So any compliment from you, a connoisseur, is truly an honor.

Merci!!!!!! 

*edit* Just saw your request!  YES!  It must be torture when all the Pricescope pics are lovely macro Canon pro shots on flowers!  =D 

These are all camera phone pics from my Treo!  Hahahaha!  So it's not your eyesight -- it's my blurry camera phone.  I will get digital pics in soon!!!!  Thanks for your patience!  I know I've clamored for better pics in my head MANY MANY times on this awesome site. 

YAY!

Thank you snlee!  Thank you, Sharon!

I will get on the digital photos asap!  I am laughing because I wrote that he did it with no help...well, I did tell him that F SI1 was my sweet spot.  And I am so glad that I did.  So in that, I did help!!!!!     Everything else I left up to him...except I did say I loved the classic look of a solitaire (no back-up singers!)...and hehehehehe... I pointed him to a few online vendors.  But he ended up going with a trusted family jeweler he had a connection to in NYC.

Hahahahahaha!  So sorry, he DID have some hints!  ROFL. 

I love that man!!!

Thanks, rocks&purses!  I, too, love rocks and purses!!!

My finger size is 4.75 in the summer and 4.5 in the winter.  This ring is a 5 so it's very floppy.

We're both afraid I'll gesticulate too wildly in an animated conversation and it'll fly off into a Manhattan gutter!  Actually, it's funny at first but then it's not so funny!  Hahahaha.

"It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds."

-Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State



John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880

"There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things....

The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."
