Final engagement ring (and new upgrade!)

[february2003bride]

Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.............

If you heard that across PS land, it was me sighing in relief that my e-ring drama is over.

I returned the .91 not because it was a dud (far from it!) but shrinkage set in and I found this one and snagged it! DH was great about it, so we returned the .91 for this snazzy 1.33! Unfortch that meant losing the trellis setting to stay within budget, but I love the 6 prong platinum solitare I chose. It''s so versatile!

A warning about this pictures: The sun came in, so I grabbed my camera and quickly snapped these. My rings were dirty, so please excuse the grime! I will clean them and post better (i.e., not so boring) pixs later

. I felt like I needed to put *something* up so Diver wouldn''t start throwing CZ''s at me!

[iheartscience]

It''s gorgeous! Congratulations on your final engagement ring!

 

[gwendolyn]

Oh, it''s just beautiful!! So perfect!

If you don''t mind my asking, what ring size do you wear? That stone is just the right amount of finger coverage--GORgeous!!

 

[Sizzle]

That''s a J???????????

 

[vespergirl]

Gorgeous ring, huge & sparkly! I like the new setting too - really makes the stone pop!

I think our husbands are going to need to start a support group for guys whose wives keep upgrading their engagement rings - I''m on my 4th stone myself

 

[coatimundi_org]

I like your bands too!

 

[Angel7]

Feb, your new ring is fabulous! Seriously, my jaw dropped. I actually prefer this solitaire to your trellis. I love it! Looks great with all your bands too. So happy for you!!!!
ETA Do you still have your bead set band? Haven't seen it in your recent photo shoots.

 

[rainydaze]

*sigh* i hate to admit it but that is one GORGEOUS diamond/ring!!! i was sad to see you give up your beautiful princess, but i must say, seeing this, it was well worth it! medium blue fluoro, yum!! i love it most paired with your 2mm plain band, but it looks great with your channel set and scattered bands too! i''m glad you have finally found what makes you happy! enjoy!!

[divergrrl]

Thank you FEB! I love it! Its a very BIG stone & I love that first shot of the arrows...niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. That 6 prong setting is a classic, can''t go wrong with it. Man, your DH is soooooooooooooooo understanding. He rocks. Literally. LOL.

I love how you now have a bevvy of bands to play with depending on your mood...and 7.1mm? Yowza! Nice finger coverage. The color looks great, it looks very white, is it that white in person too?

Merry Merry Happy Happy and wear that pretty stone in good health!

It''s lovely....dirty or not! That''s the true test if it can be beautiful, even when it''s dirty! Happy holidays!
