I''m a longtime lurker, but not by choice. I''ve been unable to post because I have a Mac, and apparently pricescope doesn''t care too much for Safari. I finally figured that Firefox would work out, and one download later, here I am, ready to show you my ring! :)


I received this ring last may, and our wedding is just one month away now!! He proposed in Santa Monica, on the beach, and I was floored! It''s a fancy blue asscher cut diamond set in platinum.

Center stone: irradiated blue diamond, 0.96 ctw/VS1
Trillion side stones: 0.35 ctw/H/VS2
Total carat weight: 1.31
Width of band: 2 mm

I''ve never been a fan of white diamonds or solitaires as engagement rings. My mother had a simple yellow gold band serve as both an ering and a wedding band, and my grandmother was engaged with an emerald set in yellow gold. I personally don''t care for yellow gold, and originally I wanted a sapphire or aquamarine (the latter is my birthstone). My fiance designed the ring himself and worked with a local jeweler. I love it because I''d never even heard of blue diamonds prior, and the asscher has been my favorite cut since I discovered it five years ago.

Now onto the pics! :)

Please forgive the utter cr*p quality of the pictures. My computer is stubborn and resizing proves to be an issue each and every time.
They absolutely do no justice for this ring.

These pics make the ring look dirty, and the blue isn''t nearly as vibrant as it is in rl.

Posting these pictures makes me realizes I really should buy a new digicam. I''ve had the same one since college, and that was three years ago :)

I love that your FI was able to get you the color you wanted, and still present you with a diamond. You must have been so surprised
