Just realized I forgot to post pics in this forum. E-ring shots and proposal

[katomm]

FI and I went to a hockey game and then we came home to pass candy out to the kids. When I walked in the house was pitch black and this pumpkin was all lit up. He had carved a little groove in the stem and the ring was placed there.

No stats on stone as it's a family heirloom. It's over 50 years old, his grandfather gave it to his grandmother in a pendant which she wore until she died. Setting is platinum from Unique Settings of NY, I do know stone is I color but that's about it. Sorry the pics are not good, it was very overcast. Oh, and I'm very shy about posting the size, let's just say I have puffy fingers.

Hand shot. I really wish the sun had been out because it does sparkle.

Careful when driving! I call it "watch the road, not the ring" syndrome! What a lovely proposal and an equally lovely ring! Congratulations!

 

[Kelli]

What a great proposal! The ring is gorgeous too, and I love that it''s an heirloom stone!

 

[Sam82]

Very pretty. I really like the setting. Blue NIle sells something similar. I always liked it.
