Ever since I stumbled upon this site I have been hooked...more like obsessed. I have talked my boyfriend''s ear off about diamonds and have bombarded him with endless pics and info. He told me that we were going to buy a diamond at the end of the year, but he surprised me yesterday with the loose stone from GOG. I am so excited because it was the one I wanted. Here''s a short version of the story:

I have been looking at loose H&A diamonds for a few months from Whiteflash and GOG. I found two on GOG that I liked and I told my boyfriend which one I wanted. Anywho long story short one of two diamonds I wanted was bought, so now there was just that one left. I was so sad. Then, the last diamond was sold and I was disappointed and bitter (not a pretty picture)...anywho the last diamond to be bought was actually bought by my boyfriend and he surprised me with it yesterday. He told me remember that diamond you wanted that someone else bought well that was me. Such a sweetie!!!! Well thanks everyone for your knowledge in the diamond arena. It has helped me alot. The stone is in a temporary setting and I will post pics of when we get the ring custom made hopefully from Whiteflash.

Here''s the specs:

At first I was in love with Michael B''s three sided pave princess with diamond prongs, but it is too expensive and I wanted something that would be a classic style and durable. I was advised against pave on the prongs and that it would be too much maintenance, so I think I just want a half eternity. Similar to this:

The stone sure looks pretty - can''t wait to see it set! The picture looks very similar to Mara''s, except for it being semi-eternity.

What a neat story! Gorgeous diamond and I really like the setting you picked out!
One word of advice, when you try on the setting, see if you can try on the wedding band together with it for a few minutes to make sure it doesn''t slide around on your finger. It depends on how your fingers are, some people can keep them on perfectly lined up and other people (like me!) are constantly chasing the diamond part around to the front, which can get annoying.

OOOH, what a beautiful stone! That is so cute how your boyfriend surprised you and bought the stone himself, letting you think someone else had bought it. That setting and matching band is great. Bet you will love it!!!!!

Very pretty. I''m new to the site and going through trying to get refunded for a deposit made on a ring that I''ve recently learned on this site is, not so great afterall. I''ve learned what WF is but, what is GOG?

I''m sorry I just assumed people would know what GOG stood for...silly me at one point I didn''t know what it was either

anywho it stands for Good Old Gold. They just like whiteflash have a lot of hearts and arrows if that''s what you are looking for. I do think that I will use whiteflash to do my engagement ring and wedding band but for now we are just glad were half way there and have the diamond I want. Oh and by the way...Welcome!!!! This place is a good educational guide and there are so many wise people on here that will be a big help to you. I am so glad I learned as much as I could in order for my boyfriend to invest in something that was worth it.
