I''m Engaged!! A Mark Squared Production

[KBerly]

I am not sure if this picture will come up, I had no problem in the LIW thread

So just in case, here is a link to that one. I am working on putting more pics up!!

We want to thank Mark Turnowski at EngagementRingsDirect.com for locating the perfect diamond! He emailed the specs we wanted, fairly broad range of specs, and he came back with the most eye clean SI2 I have ever seen

And the G is white as can be (we had given him a range of G to I color, and he happened to come across this one first) It even has arrows, too cool! Of course, I can't get any good pics of them, but will keep trying

We also want to thank Mark Morrell at MWMJewelry.com for putting up with us for the many weeks that he did. His work is truly perfection and looks even more amazing in person (he sent a bunch of pics he took which I will attach in this post). We sent him a few pics of his past work that we liked and he rolled them up all into one

Thanks Mark and Heather!

And we can't forget our appraiser Jeff Averbook at MetroJewelryAppraisers.com in Medford, MA. I know he was so happy when my fiance (hehe) finally came to get it (what took so long

). Thanks for babysitting it a little longer than usual

Ok I'm done, since I just sounded like I gave an awards speech or something

A thanks also goes out to Jennifer5973 for helping us (and keeping me of sound mind) over the last 8 months or so (maybe longer!!). Thanks chickie, you're the best!

And to ALL the PS family for their wisdom and knowledge, this website is the coolest, thanks Leo

Ok now for some pics!

the infamous white window ledge shot

 

[KBerly]

for some reason I can''t attach any of Mark Morrell''s pics he sent me...I have renamed them and shrunk them to 4x6in, and it keeps saying "undefined" Any suggestions?

 

[bluedawg]

It''s a beauty for sure. Love the MM setting and that stone is gorgeous!
Congratulations!

 

[FireGoddess]

Do the pic names have weird symbols in the names or the same name?

The ring is GORGEOUS and that stone A. is huge and B. looks huge on your finger! Just gorgeous, classic perfection! YUM! Congrats on your engagement!!

[KBerly]

Yippee!! I did it, here is one from Mark. I wanted to show this so you can see the inclusions and compare to the other pics. I promise I don't see anything, I really thought he had picked up the wrong diamond

edit: LOL i can't see the inclusions in this one...

 

[KBerly]

I hope I am not boring anyone with all these pics...I just realized it was 12:15am

Another

 

[KBerly]

Ok, one more and I am done! Cool side shot, I love the rail and it's made so a band can sit flush...Signed Pieces, get ready

 

[MissAva]

Kmberly it is lovely, and looks stuning on your hand. Wow!

 

[KBerly]

thank you Matatora

this is really my dream ring, i can't believe it is actually on my finger now

 

[Dancing Fire]

beautiful 4 prong classic setting.

sure looks bigger than a 1.79ct.

 

[KBerly]

Thanks DF! it's funny how the camera always make it look a little bigger, i guess kinda like the 10lb thing for the TV

Here is one of the CAD drawings Mark did for those interested

 

[Blue824]

I commented on your ring on the other thread, but it won''t hurt to do it again!

Congratulations on your engagement and your beautiful ring. It sure is a classic. I wish you & your fiance a future full of happiness!

 

[IrishEyes]

Wow!! It looks huge

Congratulations!!!

 

[rms]

Kim, it is so beautiful. Classic indeed, but with a special flair all its own. Congrats on your engagement and your Mark squared beauty!

 

[Mara]

eeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

it's so pretty!! it looks HUGE....i love the width of the band, it makes the diamond seem like a 2c+!! i love how the shoulders of the ring come up and appear to 'hold' the stone.

as much as i love my e-ring, sometimes i love the simplicty of these amazing solitaires, esp when a big chunky stone is put into it, yum!

hmm.

congratulations and wear it in the best of health!!

 

[Rockchick]

Congrats!!!

That looks amazing! Its SO huge! Love the ring!

 

[MiniMouse]

Kim, your ring looks absolutely gorgeous. I''m always in awe of Mark Morrell creations and yours is no exception. The diamond looks huge and how wonderful to get an eyeclean SI2. CONGRATULATIONS!

 

[dani13]

OMG!

Absolutely beautiful!

Congratulations!

 

[Jennifer5973]

Thank YOU for including me in your "diamond journey!"

You are a sweetheart, and I wish you and Ryan all the best of everything as you officially mark your life together.

I am so happy for you! What a way to start my day![:bigsmile:]

[mrssalvo]

Wow, that''s my kind of Solitaire. What a gorgeous stone and MM

I love it

[jellybean]

MM does it again!

It looks gorgeous! I used to not like my "chunky" contour setting but I''m beginning to really like it more now that I''m seeing more of them around.

Great job and congrats on the engagement!
