Congrats, DF and future Mrs. DF!!! I''m so happy for you! It''s a beauty! Then again, I''m partial since I have a Daussi myself! But, I am a bit confused though since you proposed in June 09 right? And wasn''t her ring a split shank? Were you able to do an upgrade? The new ring is gorgeous as well and I can''t wait to see handshots!!!

 

[DiamondFlame]

Spot on! I proposed to her in June with the classic little split shank, and had the ring resized by the jeweler. I don''t know what happened but the ring came back with one of the melee diamonds missing. We were quite upset about it as we love the ring and I wanted to present it in the official ceremony in December. But I was hesitant about getting the ring repaired again and voiced my concerns to David Friedlander of Diamonds by Lauren. He offered an upgrade as a replacement ring at no extra charge! So this time round we both picked this elegant ring and she adore the tint in the diamond. While I still miss the split shank, we''re both happy that Diamonds by Lauren came through for us and then some! Their excellent customer service turned a worrying experience into a joyful one, so I can''t thank David enough.
