After a long time with the BF, I finally got it.
I picked it out. It was the ring I always wanted since I was a little girl.
I am hoping that it is a good ring for the price. I am getting it appraised on Wednesday (3/11/09) of next week.
It is an EGl-USA certified (I''m a little nervous about that, but reading on here... I expect the ring to appraise with the color and maybe the clarity to be slightly different than the certificate states.)

Here are the specs for the center stone:

Weight 1.05 CT
Shape MARQUISE BRILLIANT01
Color F
Clarity VS1
Measurements 9.41 x 5.5 x 3.39 mm
Depth 61.6%
Table 60%
Crown 12.5%
Pavilion 42.9%
Crown Angle 32.7°
Pavilion Angle 40.8°
Girdle MEDIUM TO VERY THICK FACETED
Polish GOOD
Symmetry GOOD
Fluorescence NONE
Culet NONE
Cut Grade N/A
Comments
UGS Appraisal Value N/A


here is a pic: (I tried getting different angles - this is my first taking pictures of a ring at all, so excuse me if I am not getting the right angles)
it''s 14k white gold, with the trillions totaling .58 F VS2
I paid $5,800 for the ring, please tell me that I didn''t get screwed...

Your ring is beautiful, I really love it - congrats!!
 
thank you everybody!
I ended getting a slightly "fatter" marquise than the ideal 2:1 ratio. I know that with my ratio that I have a more noticeable bow tie effect, but I honestly wanted the fatter stone with the trillions. The skinnier "ideal ratio" marquise didn''t look as good, to me anyways, with the trillions.
 
That looks beautiful! Your hands are so pretty and delicate, and the ring suits you perfectly!

Looks very pretty, and really nice on your hand - sounds to me like you got a great deal!
 
Shamelessly bumping my thread.
I have very good news - the appraiser that I went to - Jeff from Metro Jewelers (he was wonderful btw, and would recommend him to anybody in the Boston area), said that my ring matched the specs on the EGL certificate to a "tee". He did say the marquise could maybe be a G, but everything else matched up. I am so relieved!
