I did it!!!!!!

[ilovemygirlfriend]

First....this site has been amazing in my journy!

Second...whiteflash is the bomb!!!!!

Third....I love my fiancee!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last Thursday I sat her down on her bed and read her a story book I made about our lives....starting with our birth pictures going to the present proposal. I wrote in a fairtell type setting with Dr. Seus type rhyming. She loved it and cried. The diamond and ring continue to amaze her an all who see it. I am so happy and excited for the future.

I love it!!!!!!!!!

 

[ilovemygirlfriend]

how did you do that?

it is .857 A cut above from whiteflash. H color....eye clean SI2. I have the crown and pavillion angles some where. it got a 1.4 on the HCA. It sparkles like crazy. I am so happy with this stone. I couldnt even find regular ideal cuts with those specs in my price range, and then I stumbled on this "A cut above" one for $3K. The setting and side stones make this ring just breathtaking from every angle. We couldn't be happier. The long nights of studying and reading these forums to educate myself have payed off.

There was another pic Belle...that you might want to make visible...the last one I tried to get up....thanks!

the files for your pics were there, i just downloaded them. i don't think they would show up because the file names all had symbols in them.....you can only use numbers and letters.

i would agree, your long nights of studying and reading really did pay off! i have followed your journey from the beginning and i am so happy you found your perfect stone! congrats again!

here's the last pic...

Thank you, and I have noticed that you have followed my journy. I appreciate your concern and compliments...it means alot. I am a nut about the ring now...I like want to show it off to everyone and get it cleaned all the time so it is at its best...how often do yuo suggest cleaning?

 

[belle]

well.....i clean my diamonds everyday right before i put them on. sometimes more if they need a little extra sparkle boost!
(yes, i am crazy!

)

What a beautiful diamond and a beautiful setting!

Is the setting from Whiteflash? I love how it has the pave and the milligrain too.

 

[bluedawg]

I love the Dr Suess storybook proposal idea.

That setting with that stone is just so sparkly and beautiful.

WTG! Congratulations.

 

[Kaleigh]

What a sweet and romantic proposal!!! Congratulations on your engagement!!!! The ring is amazing, it''s blinding me!!!

I clean my rings every morning before I put them on, but that''s just me. I am a freak about keeping them clean.

 

[ilovemygirlfriend]

The setting is something I bought in Salt Lake city...I need more info on the designer....I know they bought it from a jeweler in California. I had some jewelers that were friends look at pictures of it and then tell me how much they would make it for...then I went back to the jeweler in Salt Lake that I found it in and told them the prices...they competed with them so I got the setting from there which I preferred anyway!
