Hi everyone! Very excited to now be moving from the "Rocky Talky" to the "Show Me the Bling" forum.

Well, the engagement ring is officially complete and I proposed last week and (of course) she said yes! I am so thrilled with how the ring turned out. My fiancé loves it and it looks amazing on her!

I worked with Chris Anadiotis of Engagement Rings Direct and very happy with the final product. ERD moved very quickly in creating the setting once I settled in on my diamond (from Whiteflash) and after 3-4 CAD renditions. Chris was very busy so at times responsiveness was not quite as fast as I'd hoped, but overall he put up with my obsessive nature and slight indecisiveness. Overall, I'm very happy with my experience with ERD and intend to refer others their way.

I want to thank Chris of ERD, Debi Wexler of Whiteflash, and all of those who have helped me with both the setting and finding the diamond on this forum (particularly msop04, tweeter8177, Gypsy, Lorelei, and diamondseeker2006). I would have never found such an amazing diamond and crafted a setting so beautiful without your help. I feel so lucky to have stumbled upon PS.

This delicate cushion halo w/ split shank setting includes a 1.42 ct RB I Vs2 AGS000 purchased from Whiteflash: http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-3096366.htm.. Below the center stone in the gallery area are 2 hidden diamonds (seen in bottom photo), both which belonging to each of our great grandmothers. Her finger size is 3.25.

Thank you all again and enjoy!

She must be over the moon!!! Congrats!!!!
 
Re: Cushion Halo w/ Split Shanks & Hidden Stones Engagement

Thank you all for the kind words! She was 100% surprised about the secret diamonds in the basket area and loved them. I was very lucky to find that both of our families had a tiny (~1.4mm) diamond to contribute.

Couldn't be happier with how it turned out. :D

Re: Cushion Halo w/ Split Shanks & Hidden Stones Engagement

Sorry I am late to this! Vacation and getting a child off to college made me a little behind on PS!

It turned out to be gorgeous!!!! :love: I love a split shank on a halo and I also think you made a great choice on the diamond just under 1.5 cts!!! Congratulations!!!!
 
Re: Cushion Halo w/ Split Shanks & Hidden Stones Engagement

That is a gorgeous ring :love: I love the size of your diamond, if I were shopping for an MRB I would look for exactly what you chose.
Fantastic setting choice as well, loving the split shank and the hidden stones. Congratulations :appl:
