Complete Shock Engagement (PICS too)!

[DebShine]

Where to start? I came on pricescope about 6 months ago because my boyfriend and I were looking and getting an idea of rings. Since then, he has had a house fire and moved in with me, and I lost my human services job due the ignorance of Illinois legislature that has cutback state funding for human services. However..... today, my last day of work, he asked me to go on a walk with him. I was actually anything but thrilled about this, I wanted to lay and the couch and pout, but he wouldn't have it.

I'm not going to go into the whole story - let's just say, I'm glad he urged me to go- an engagement with THIS ring came out of it:

Round Brilliant
Measurements: 6.00 - 6.04 X 3.72
.82 Carat
G
VVS2
Cut Grade - Excellent
Size 7 1/4
Polish - Excellent
Symmetry - Excellent
Fluorescence - None


Please excuse the old looking hands and silly fingernail paint job. If I'd known this was coming - I would have tried to "freshen" up the hands a bit, but I was/am so excited I wanted to put it on here right away!

Arrgg... I wish I could take better pictures... I was in the car watching the sunlight dance on it and I would catch halos of colors now and then. Brian purchased the diamond and engagement ring from Excel Diamonds and was completely happy when he saw it - as was I.
