#TBT Got my round halo from GOG!

[RockGuy]

Hi, I wanted to shamelessly share some pics of an e-ring I just picked up. Pricescope was a great resource for me in finding a vendor! My grandfather was in the business, but has retired and I consider myself very lucky in finding this place.

The center stone is a 2.6 ct H SI-1, AGS 0, HCA under 2 and all that. It falls just short of H&A; you can see some flagging on the bottom 2 arrows. Here's a hand shot:



Here's a duplication of my avatar, a flower pic that came out well:



I'm not sure if this is bad forum etiquette... this is my first online forum. If any of the ladies here have some time, I'm looking for some insight as to what goes through a woman's mind immediately after a proposal and started a topic in Proposal Ideas.

I apologize for my sub-par cell phone shots, but they came out better than the ones with my camera somehow. I hope you all enjoyed and thanks for looking!

It is lovely! When do you plan to porpose?? We need handshots!

 

[RockGuy]

It will be on Saturday. I'll make sure to get some hand shots and I'll post them. Thanks for your kind words!

 

[Mayk]

It is simply stunning..... it will take her breath away....

 

[swingirl]

Beautiful stone and ring!! Any photos of the profile? Simply gorgeous!

 

[RockGuy]

I'm working up in Alberta now, so I'm a couple thousand miles away from the ring, but I do have a pic from GOG (there's a CZ set in it) of a sample of the profile:



I wanted something where a matching wedding band can sit flush.

Small world! I'm up in the oil sands now building a power plant, but I live in the Poconos in PA. I went to school in Canada (U of T) and my girlfriend is from Montreal. I'm starting to feel Canadian... Who knows? Pretty soon I might even watch hockey on Sunday rather than my beloved Eagles

It's beautiful! You did a great job and your stone looks beautiful! Your girl will love it.


Here's what will be going through her mind after the proposal: Ohmygoshohmygoshomygoshiloveitiloveitiloveitohmygoshi'mgettingmarried
ohmygoshineedtobreathohmygoshomygoshomygoshthisdiamondishugeohmygoshomygoshomygosh!

 

[Amys Bling]

don't be insulted if after the proposal she spends all her time staring at that stunning ring!!!


Gorgeous ring!

 

[marcy]

Her ring is gorgeous. She will be thrilled. Good luck with your proposal.

 

[gemgirl]

It's absolutely stunning! She's a lucky lady to have you (and that gorgeous ring).

 

[SandyCheeks]

That is a stunner!! I've always wanted to see this setting by GOG with a round and it's gorgeous! Is this a complete surprise to her? Lucky lady and congratulations on your engagement because I'm sure she won't say no to that!

 

[bright ice]

WOW, that is STUNNING What a lucky lady your woman is and I am sure she will love it. Come back with more pictures please!

 

[RockGuy]

Yes, it's a total surprise. Her family, my extended family and my closest friends are coming out to a bonfire. I plan to pull her away for a few minutes for a picnic under a willow tree that I'm lighting up with LED string lights, 1,000 bulbs worth. I used to go to summer camp there as a kid (now I live up the road) and remember the teenagers carving their initials in the tree. When I was home last month I carved ours right in the middle. I plan to tell her how happy I am for her to be there with me, what she means to me, but that the thing that would make me happier than anything would be if we can come back to that place and change her second initial one day, then drop on one knee.

One of my friends that will be in attendance is pretty good with his camera, so I'll come back with more pics. I'm definitely tech challenged myself... I'll put it this way, I'm a mathematician that has never owned a calculator!

 

[nfowife]

beautiful ring and the proposal sounds wonderful and romantic! Can't wait to see hand shots! Congrats!

 

[Bibbi]

Stunning and the setting si just beautiful!! She will be very happy with your selection and congrats!!!

 

[rubyprincess]

That proposal ranks among the sweetest I've ever heard. Great job on both the ring and the very romantic way to pop the question.

I am sure she will be utterly thrilled!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

That really is a very sweet proposal idea!!!

The ring is really gorgeous! If she has not had input into this project, she is going to be in shock!

So here's how she'll be feeling:

 

[mrssalvo]

oh my goodness, that ring is just gorgeous!!

 

[iheartscience]

Wow, it's stunning and I am positive she will LOVE that proposal! (And the ring of course!) What a great proposal idea-so sweet and romantic! I can't wait for more pics!

How wonderful and romantic! I can't wait to hear about her reaction to everything!

 

[RockGuy]

Thanks for everybody's kind words abut my proposal idea! I'm probably not the most romantic person in the world... in fact, I'm not ashamed to say I'm a bit of a redneck, so "classing up" a bonfire makes good sense to me

She hasn't had any direct input, but I know some of the styles that she likes from our discussions about jewelry in general. I'm big into jewelry myself, but I stick to watches for my personal use. She wears a tourmaline ring on her right hand that I designed and I can tell half her enjoyment stems from the fact that I designed it, so I'm sure she'll like the fact that I picked this out myself

The only person that's seen it in person has been my mom and she really dislikes halos, but her reaction was "holy ----!" Honestly, that's the best reaction I could have hope for coming from my mom and a jeweler's daughter

 

[canuk-gal]

WOW! Marvellous--she'll love it! (P.S. I live in Alberta!)

[minmin001]

OMG, what a stunner~ you did great! we need more pic. later!

 

[lknvrb4]

It is beautiful, she will probably be distracted from looking at it.

 

[ksinger]

Wow. Ya did good. What girl wouldn't be thrilled with that ring? Good luck on your proposal!

 

[Iluvprettyrocks]

That is a STUNNER! Diamondseeker pretty much summed up the emotions your girlfriend will go through once you propose...lol
Good Luck with the proposal! Don't forget to come back with pics

 

[yssie]

It is beautiful!!
