My dream ering is on my finger!!

[Keepingthefaith21]

Hey all - my FI and I have been engaged for almost a year. About a month ago he presented me with an art deco diamond cluster ring which was supposed to stand in as my ering until I got my true ring. I figured I would be getting married with the cluster ring and was in love with it. However, he surprised me last night and presented me with my dream ring!

So, onto the tech stuff:

Center stone: Asscher cut .90, VS1, G color
Side stones: 2 ECs, tcw .48, VS1, G color
Side stones: 12 channel set princess cuts, tcw. .43, VS1, G color
Surprise stones: two RB''s tcw 04.
Antique filligree.

Total weight of ring: 1.85 cts.

Now for some photos...

Please excuse how dirty it is! I was passing it around to so many people I was a bad PSer and didn''t clean it first.

Last one - thank you for looking!!!
