Last one.
Thank you RunningwithScissors. Lately it’s felt as though the sacrifices weren’t worth it. But it is what it is. Have to believe that I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be… even if it feels horrible
Holy !@#$%!!
How is this real life!! Seriously - your ring could put any celebrity ring to shame!
Incredible, incredible job by your husband and Leon - enjoy this beauty!!
p.s. - would love to see the Rolex you got your husband too!!
Gorgeous, thanks for sharing!
I bet you wish you could wear it to work, however, I appreciate it is not very practical.

Seriously STUNNING!
It certainly is large, but I think you will adjust your mind set with wear & time. Please be patient & let yourself flow with it. It's absolutely perfect - congratulations!
Good on you - you deserve it!!!
It would worry me having to take an expensive ring off to store in a locker while I gown up and go into a controlled environment to work!
If I could wear it around my neck in a ring holder on me then I may consider it.

I can't remember seeing your old engagement ring, so I cannot comment on how it looks compared with your new whopper.
Looking at your new ring, the shank looks thin only because the diamond is so big IMHO.
It looks very sturdy on the underside as the head of the ring is not joined to the shank on a single point, if you know what I mean.
Good that you could wear it scrubbed up. In pharmaceutical and food manufacturing, I was not able to wear jewellery except for a pair of plain studs without stones, and only a wedding band without stones; nothing else is allowed, like makeup or nail vanish. Hence I am quite comfortable going out and about bare-face to this day, even thought the last time I had to gown up was back in 2016.

No evidence of a thorough risk analysis being conducted. A prime example of working in silos! False nails were banned right away.
Thanks Ally. You read my mind. I realize that I am absolutely stuck with it. So I’m hoping that I come around to it more. It is absolutely my dream ring. The setting spot on. The stone is much larger then I dreamed of having (I wanted 3.3 carats).
When I was searching for rings… I had a visual image of the “perfect ring proportions” but for some reason don’t feel like I’m getting same effect.
NOT my ring! From Instagram. I know it’s an OEC. But this is visually what I wanted.
ETA: She just might have nicer hands then me LOL. It’s apparently a 5 carat center as well.
@allycat0303 I see what you mean - the shank in your old ER does look more substantial in comparison to the new one.
Apologies for going off-topic, however, it is not often I could talk and share experience of working in controlled environment in PS and other boards.
The manufacturing sites where I had worked were, still are, very strict with regard to personal hygiene including jewellery, nails and makeup.
I used to gown up and worked in Class 100 and 1000 areas at the start of my career all those years ago.
True story, no names, however, I had come across part of a false nail being broken off and wedged between an infusion bag and its outer wrapper, that got missed during post-sterilisation inspection. It ended up as a customer complaint and rightly so. The investigation team knew exactly where it came from: department and person responsible etc...
It turned out one department agreed to investigate if false nails would increase microbial risk (apparently it didn't so they gave the go ahead for the operators to wear them), without consulting other departments. The risk of physical contamination in the event of breakages was never considered.

I think I’d leave that beautiful ring at home on OR days.
