A little ring-bling for my sweet-thing

Two more months in the sands of Afghanistan and the ring below will be slid onto my future-wife's finger. A special thanks to Pricescope and the staff of Good Old Gold for the research material and knowledge!

You all are high-speed with your replies! I appreciate the kind words, and it''s me who is in the beautiful land of Afghanistan for now As far as colored stones, they are traditional clear diamonds...the picture just came out a little odd there. Thanks for the kudos, I can''t wait to give this to her!

Hahahaha you're a trip Maisie! And yep, she does know it's coming to some extent. I still have to ask her old man for her hand; once I've done that then it's open field to propose either in Florida (her home state), North Carolina (my duty station state), or somewhere totally random. I let her know this...this way she is still on her toes

Maisie...I was thinking the same thing about the man in uniform

Mike, you''ve designed a gorgeous ring and I can''t wait to hear that you''ve proposed and the ring is on her finger! How exciting!

Take care, stay safe and THANK YOU for all you do for our Country. You are truly appreciated!
