I have not posted about my engagement ring saga on the forum because I was too busy admiring other people's engagement rings! When it came time for me to finally choose a place to get my engagement ring done, my fiancé and I were ecstatic to turn to David in Diamonds by Lauren.

I have admired fancy coloured diamonds as long as I've been a pricescope lurker. I just knew I had to join the fancy coloured diamond club! I am lucky enough to have such an accommodating fiancé that allowed me to choose the engagement ring of my dreams.

Surfing through David's DBL website, I realized that the Princess Style Halo Setting was for me. I loved the sparkle and the more diamonds the better! Also, I have been admiring everyone's halo diamond settings - I just had to have one (but with a twist)!

I found that finding a semi-mount to my liking was not the difficult part, it was the centre stone shopping. There were endless choices in terms of shape, size and color. I knew I could not settle thus I went with my 1.69ct Fancy Brownish Yellow Modified Pear Brilliant!

David went above and beyond in terms of accommodating my fiancé and I. My perfect diamond was already set in a ring and he allowed us to just buy the centre stone (when we were just planning to settle and buy the ring and upgrade to the Princess Style Halo Setting later). For what he has done, I will forever be a Diamonds by Lauren customer. He made the transaction for my fiancé easy and stress-free and overall, he made the experience of getting our dream engagement ring such a breeze.

Thanks so much! I agree that it isn't the conventional round brilliant solitaire, my fiance has gotten it all RIGHT with this one. Proud of him.

I am almost embarrassed to go into a jewelery store! This ring is infinity times one more awesome than anything I have seen in stores. :) thank you again!

I actually didn't think I would love a pear. I had a pear for my graduation ring and didn't want to go there again but this stone really made me rethink my stance on pears. Now they are one of my favorites because it is different and I am no round brilliant girl!
