I'm engaged! My Etienne Perret Low Halo

I came home from running some errands and was sitting on a chaise on our patio when he said " I think the cat left something under your chair, it looks like it might be a bird" I freaked out of course and he pulled a real looking but fake blackbird out from under my chair and I was laughing and mildly p!ssed so I threw a glass of water on him. Then poor guy standing there soaked pulls out a box from the bird's claws and proposes. I was truly in shock. I said I wanted it to be a surprise and it certainly was. I helped pick out the stone which is from Whiteflash. Stats to follow. The setting is by Etienne Perret up in Maine and he did this lightning fast, I think the stone arrived on Tuesday, set it and sent it back by Friday. I'm still in shock, originally we thought it would be a few weeks so I definitely wasn't expecting it this weekend. Here's the stats and of course lots of pics. Thanks for all the helpful advice, we got a fantastic stone because of all you experts and the designers resource page is how I found Etienne's website in the first place. Thanks! 1.02 J SI1 . Depth %: 60.3 . Table %: 57.4 . Crown Angle: 34.7 . Crown %: 14.8 . Star : 51 . Pavilion Angle: 40.7 . Pavilion %: 42.8 . Lower Girdle %: 76 . Girdle: Thin to Medium Faceted . Measurements: 6.52-6.54X3.94 . Light Performance: 0 . Polish: Ideal . Symmetry: Ideal . Culet: Pointed . Fluorescence: Negligible not letting me attach to this post, pics coming right up...

csullivan13 Rough Rock Total Posts: 34 Last Post: 10/2/2008 Member Since: 7/17/2008	Originally I was concerned about the J and the warmth I saw at home when the stone was loose but now that it's set I can't believe how white it is.
