after months and months and with your help...

[jonas]

i have finally figured it all out



i know exactly what i am going to get when i have the $$ to pull the trigger..
in the end i am going to go with this setting from gabriele and co

http://www.gabrielny.com/engaged/style/ER7498W44JJ

it has 12 nice diamonds in the halo... .42ct worth so those babies are a good size

idJ has it priced the best at $1,250

then i am going to be going with an eye clean .5/.6 Hearts and Arrows from white flash or GOG or James e.t.c.
probably like a G Si1 that scores under a 2 on the HCA

i see those going for around $2000 or so...

so i should be out the door for $3250 or so... i will ship the diamond to IDJ and have them mount it. unless i find the diamond from GOG and they get me the gabriele setting.

I think i have spent like 3 months on here.. lol... i went all over the place... i was in love with a lazare .75 for $4700 at one time... HA
HA

anyways.. she is gonna love it.. its gonna look nice and big with that halo... im gonna go with the plain band as the wedding band i get with have diamonds all down it...

now i just gotta get the courage to pull the trigger some day soon.... to whip out the old credit card and swipe away... lol



CANT WAIT!!!

thanks to all you special people out there for helping this kid out...

Congratulations on your selection, Jonas. That looks like a beautiful set.

Don't forget to come back to tell us about the proposal and provide hand shots!

Aww, Jonas, that sounds like a great plan!!! You sound really excited and that means you are READY!!! So get going!!!

That's a beautiful ring and she will love it! I love the plain shank because I think it makes the halo and diamond be the focus, and it will look pretty with a diamond wedding band!

I have been quietly reading about your journey, and I'm so happy to hear you've chosen a beautiful ring within your budget!
The ring will be beautiful!!

And, pull the trigger already! Spending months here agonizing over the ring shows how much you must adore her and want to make her happy. Go for it!

Great plan Jonas! You could source the diamond through IDj as well, and have the stone and setting all in the same place! I really like the setting too. I like the head better than the WF option. It will be beautiful, I can't wait until you can start your SMTB thread!
