Hi all!

Lurker and occasional poster freshly engaged 2 hours ago in our backyard.

I came home from running some errands and was sitting on a chaise on our patio when he said " I think the cat left something under your chair, it looks like it might be a bird" I freaked out of course and he pulled a real looking but fake blackbird out from under my chair and I was laughing and mildly p!ssed so I threw a glass of water on him. Then poor guy standing there soaked pulls out a box from the bird''s claws and proposes. I was truly in shock. I said I wanted it to be a surprise and it certainly was.

I helped pick out the stone which is from Whiteflash. Stats to follow. The setting is by Etienne Perret up in Maine and he did this lightning fast, I think the stone arrived on Tuesday, set it and sent it back by Friday. I''m still in shock, originally we thought it would be a few weeks so I definitely wasn''t expecting it this weekend.

Here''s the stats and of course lots of pics. Thanks for all the helpful advice, we got a fantastic stone because of all you experts and the designers resource page is how I found Etienne''s website in the first place. Thanks!

Originally I was concerned about the J and the warmth I saw at home when the stone was loose but now that it''s set I can''t believe how white it is.

I never realized my skin was so lizard-like. I was planning on getting a manicure in a week or two in anticipation but he beat me too it.

I love how low the stone sits, the tubular shank of the ring, and the way the setting shows off the naked culet! *YUM-O!*

Jelly- the culet just barely floats above my finger so I don''t think it will be an issue.
