Yes, it’s finally here! After many months of research, visiting dozens of B&Ms, trying to find out covertly what my DW would like (without being too obvious, since it’s going to be a surprise), and countless hours here on PS trying to figure out what I wanted and what I should focus on, the ring is in my hand!

I looked back at my initial post (seems like a loooong time ago), which stated 10 (yes, ten!!!) basic characteristics that I was hoping for: from cut, to color, to size, to table percentage, etc., etc., and of course, price range. I ended up satisfying ALL ten! Woo-hoo! And most importantly, as has been said many times in this forum, for fancy cuts “ya gotta see ‘em” – I have, and it looks absolutely awesomely gorgeous!

I am posting below the specs of the diamond and a picture of the stone, but will post photos of the ring only after I have given it to her – after all, I feel she should see it first! At that time, I will also give my thanks to the many people who were involved in the process.

Back soon with ring pictures …

Wow, that is a stunning emerald cut! I can''t wait to see it set once you give it to her! How are you going to set it?

Thank you all!!!

Even though I thought I did well, there''s always that tiny, little, itty-bitty shred of doubt and second-guessing. With all your responses and support, they are gone!

The stone was set in a simple, custom made, WF ''Legato'' shared prong, with a couple more, and slightly larger, side stones than their standard offering. The goal was to complement, and not take away from, the EC. They did a terrific job!

As promised, photos after I give her the ring later next month.

Again, thanks mucho!
