Despite Hurricane Sandy, Good Old Gold sent my ring a day EARLIER than I had even asked for it! I got it yesterday!

Plan to give it to her on Sunday night! She has no idea I am proposing in 2012, that I shopped for a ring, anything of the sort! (unless she is super suspicious and even smarter than I already give her credit for) This should be a great shocker. After dinner, we will come back to my apartment where my friend will have set up candles and there will be a DVD slideshow playing with a song that we like to dance to in my living room, followed by some Taylor Swift during which I plan to propose.

Until then, just cell phone pics so I can be quite discreet. I will try to take better pics later!!

Solasferas excellent cut
.83 ct
VS1
H Color

on a Gabriel Co. setting, a twisted pave with .22 TDW

Ooh, that is pretty! I love the twisted shank. GOG solasferas are very sparkly. Well done!
Congratulations on the upcoming proposal and being so sneaky! Remember to comeback with the story and hand shots.

awww! Looks amazing and the proposal plan sounds awesome. So glad to hear you're safe and that GOG was able to knock it out of the park despite not having power from the storm!

I have been looking at the ring in one area with relatively diffuse light and thought it was beautiful. I just looked at it in a different part of the office where there was only one flourescent light, back over my shoulder, and I was amazed at the light return and sparkle of this Solasfera diamond. Wowowow. I was worried about .83 Ct being too small...now I'm thinking it almost looks too BIG!! (In a good way).

I am incredibly impressed with this and I am SO GLAD I came to PriceScope instead of just buying blindly on BlueNile. After the cat is out of the bag I will be singing Good Old Gold's praises all over facebook!

For people who stumble upon this thread, if you're looking for affordable diamonds under 1 ct and want something amazing for under 10K you have GOT to include the Solasfera in your search. Its not for everyone (some think its too "noisy") but as a non-diamond expert I just see a "holy cow that's intense" sparkle that I think she will die over.
