Today he popped the question at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore. After a breakfast with friends, we went to the National Aquarium. He got down on his knees by the water and asked me to marry him. After, we had a helicopter ride through Annapolis. Then arrived back at the friend's house to a suprise party. 20140816_152130.jpg

Your ring is stunning! I love the contrast between the "frilly" halo and the sleek split shank. Congratulations, and enjoy your engagement!

I think the setting suits your stone beautifully and looks lovely on your hand. I have such a penchant for a subtle split shank. Congratulations on your engagement.

Woohoo!!! Moneymeister, I am so happy for you both! :appl: :appl: :appl:

And your ER is GORGEOUS. :love: I love the proposal story including the breakfast, aquarium, helicopter ride and surprise party. He really planned quite the day of activity and you will never forget the thought that went into planning the whole day.

Congratulations and wishing you all the best health and happiness in your upcoming marriage!

Beautiful ring! Congratulations!!!! (Do post the specs on your ring when you have a chance! People get ideas from these threads and it is good for the diamond and setting to be identified.)

Thanks so much everyone. I am finally home. It is too dark to take more pictures, but I will take more tomorrow...just because I can. Will also reply to everyone in a bit...need to unpack and get into bed. I tried to take a good close up tonight but need more light.

Diamondseeker2006, happy to share specs

Here are the ring specs:
Center: 1.04 VS1, I color, large culet, GIA 6157724813, 6.33 x 6.10, 61.4 % depth, table 52%, (Antique) Cushion Brilliant (old mine cut) purchased through the wonderful Wink Jones.

Setting: the french halo from Ritani. Platinum with .25 tdw. I asked for double claws and they apparently made a faux double claw. The diamonds seem well matched in color and size.

There is also a small hole in the bottom (not easily visable) made during casting but I am not going to sweat the small stuff right now. I am overall very happy with the ring.

EDIT...Hmmm, loupe/table may have been dirty. The table is actually clear.

You can see the natural edge on the side of the close-up.
