Hello PS! It feels good to finally have an account and be able to communicate with all of you.
A little background info on me and my SO. We''ll be celebrating 5 years together next month, we''ve been living together for almost 5 years as well. We''re in the process of looking for a house, I told him that I would love to have a house warming party and announce to everyone at the party that we''re engaged! He likes that idea, so lately we''ve been looking at houses and rings, I feel so much closer to him lately too since I know we''re both on the same page. The talks of engagement and ring shopping started in December. When I was out christmas shopping by myself and got busted by his cousin in a jewellery store admiring a 3 stone emerald cut. I knew I had to come clean with my SO since the cousin threatened to make a really awkward situation at christmas dinner that weekend, so when I came clean to SO he just smiled and asked if I wanted to show him the ring!
Since then I have showed him many GOG video''s on their August Vintage diamonds, and we''ve been to many stores to get an idea on settings. I found a very reputable local jeweler that I think we''ll be working with. I walked in and asked if he had any OEC''s or OMC''s and he said I''m the first person in 25 years to ask for those! He had one is stock that was around the 1 carat mark, it was a 1.15 J SI1 (100 years old), faced up very bright, and the measurements came out making it look closer to a 1.5 carat! This was great so I mentioned this to SO that night with plans to go with him on the weekend to show him. Well Thursday evening I get an e-mail from the jeweler saying that he just got a 1.66 carat OEC in and that he thought of me right away, since it''s rare to get them and even more rare to find someone looking for it! This one is 130 years old, VVS1 J/K in colour and measures closer to a 2 carat
. SO and I went together this past weekend and saw it and WOW I''m in love with this stone, and I kind of feel like it was meant to be since its rare that they get OEC''s in. The best part of this is that the jeweler will sell it to us for the same price as the smaller one
!!! I tried on a few Simon G settings and showed SO the ones that I like to go with the stone so he could surprise me with the setting but at least know the style I like.
So now the waiting game begins!!! He knows I love that stone, and I showed him comparable stones online and they''re at least $1500-$4000 more expensive. I really want to call the store and put a deposit on it, but I know it would step on his toes, and money isn''t the issue. So I casually told him that I''m worried we''ll loose the stone, and he told me not to worry. I''m trying so hard not to worry and trust that he''s taking action and trying to surprise me. Thanks for taking the time to read this, can''t wait to connect with you people!
