4.08 ct K VVS2 Antique Emerald Cut from Jewels by Grace

[madelise]

I'm engaged!!!! I'm engaged, I'm engaged, I'm engaged!!! To the most fabulous guy I've ever met This ring is extra special to me on top of the fact that, well, engagement rings are special... because R got to "pick it out on his own" and surprise me, with the help of Grace from JbG and Resonance.of.Life. I had no idea he bought a ring, let alone when he was going to propose. I always thought he would give up trying to figure out jewelry without me, and would eventually ask me for help. Or that he would get overwhelmed and just give me a budget to shop with. But he sure as heck surprised me! He's guaranteed that this is the first and last piece of jewelry he ever surprises me with, though. Said something about it being too much pressure to buy jewelry for a Pricescoper? He's a trooper, for sure.

Anyway, without more chit chat... here's the stats:

4.08 ct
GIA K, VVS2
9.38 x 7.85 x 6.13 mm
Table 60%
Depth 78%
Girdle medium to slightly thick
No fluorescence
Small culet

The part about his perceived pressure buying for a pricescoper had me chuckling out loud! Shared that with my husband (who has only ever purchased two pieces of jewelry for me because both purchases were not to my taste), and he commends your guy on his bravery as well as excellent taste, lol! Congratulations, what a stunningly gorgeous ring, he did well! Wear in health and happiness for years to come.
