First congratulations on your upcoming engagement!
Second-thank you SO much for going with GOG vs the helzberg one. Once you see the quality in this ring (and your wife to be compares it to the helzberg one) you'll feel like you dodged a major bullet. Not only for getting a much higher quality ring (with a 70% buy back policy on the diamond to-heaven forbid you ever need to sell it in the future and a great upgrade policy) but you also saved almost 50% of the cost. I try to explain that to those who I find out are in the market for a ring but they'd rather have the convince of the store than pay less for a higher quality product and deal with buying it and having it shipped.
Please come back with shots of the ring and hand shots after the proposal. I'm sure she's going to be SO surprised that you went and did this before the holiday and came back with not only one beautiful ring-but you did your due diligence-saved money AND picked out the prefect stone and setting JUST for her. As a woman I love the fact when a guy puts it all together himself vs going to the mall and picking out one that he likes (whatever works for the couple though-to each their own!). It just takes it to that next level of special-made JUST for her!
Just an idea-do you have anything cute you could engrave inside of the ring? Like your proposal date or the initials of you and the kids or something else that is meaningful (like the date you met and then when you get married add your wedding date?).
I'm just throwing out ideas
I can't wait to see the final product and hear about the proposal! I've bought 2 stones from GOG and they were wonderful to work with.
Congratulations again

ETA: just took a look at the diamond and WOW you both are going to be STUNNED after looking at stones at the mall stores when you see this baby. It's going to blow everything you've viewed away. I can't wait to see it on her hand!
