I am a longtime lurker on this board and am grateful to everyone for their knowledge! I was far more confident in choosing the diamond and designing my custom e-ring with my fiance, than I would have been without stumbling onto this board! We live in the British Virgin Islands and my diamond was purchased and the ring crafted in New York with the help of a very good friend who always has a "guy" for everything! The ring is platinum with a semi-bezel set 1.25 ct. ideal cut F VS1 RB and has 12 burnish set princess cut side stones, all F VVS1-2. My fiance proposed on Cow Wreck beach on Anegada in the B.V.I. I LOOOVE my ring and my wonderful fiance. Here are the pics!
