Hi Ladies -- I've been a long time lurker, especially in the colored stones forum to get ideas for designing my ering. Quick background: my SO and I have been together for almost a year and a half, we're in our late twenties, and have a family full of four-legged fur-critters already. We went ring shopping about 2 months ago and ended up having a ring custom designed. It is now in his possession, but I'm hoping to have it on my finger soon!
He's made it clear that it's coming soon (like within a week soon), because neither of us likes to play games, and it's not like it's going to be a surprise at this point. However, I'm STILL excited, stressing, anxious, and slightly obsessed with when it's actually going to happen. At this point I think I'm way more excited to see the ring than anything -- I mean, I know I love him and that he's perfect for me, so the only thing left to wonder about is what the ring ended up looking like! I'm sure it's going to be great, but I had our jeweler mesh two styles together, and I'm dying to know about some of the details, such as how much the cathedral shoulders taper in. Oh yeah, I'm just a little detail obsessed. I also went with a colored stone instead of a diamond... I'll talk more about it soon, but it's a stone I haven't seen yet. When we went to see the rings and stones the jeweler had, he had one small stone, one large one, and nothing in the middle (round, 5.5-6mm range), so I left it in his hands to find me the perfect stone. Hopefully I'll get to see it soon!
I know it's not happening today, since it would be in bad taste to propose on the 9/11 anniversary, but I guess any other day this week is fair game. Anyone else super-close?
