My husband spoils me rotten, OMG!

[MonkeyPie]

I sound like such a child, but I can''t help but squeal and jump - omg!

Look what my husband got me!
I''ll post stats when I know them - he won''t let me see how much he spent. He told me I would have to wait awhile til we had saved up the money for my new ring, and I was SO BUMMED. But apparently he was saving without me knowing, and then snuck off to his family jeweler for this baby. So now I am looking for a setting! I SO love him.

 

[Fly Girl]

Gotta love a nice emerald cut. I''m happy for you MonkeyPie!!!

 

[MonkeyPie]

Thanks! I''m so excited - he said he set aside enough to get me a setting as long as I didn''t go crazy, so no halo, but I think I may get a custom solitaire like Dani''s. I can''t get that ring image out of my head!

*giddy*

 

[Burk]

That''s so sweet! Your hubby''s a keeper! Can''t wait for stats and setting ideas!

 

[LuckyTexan]

On top of a quarter.
It''s 7x5 - just over a carat.

 

[MonkeyPie]

Next to a 2 1/2 carat white sapphire - it looks so teeny!

Yummy

[Diamond*Dana]

It doesn''t look teeny...it looks stunning!
Congratulations you lucky lady!

 

[MonkeyPie]

Thanks ladies! I am about to explode with excitement - I almost wish he had waited until we had a setting chosen/being made, but I love this little beauty. I have always wanted an EC and this one is absolutely brilliant. I wish I could catch the sparkles with my camera!

Since I want to get the most bang for my buck, I have emailed a couple jewelers about making me a setting - I decided I want one similar to Dani''s, but that tapers toward the shank, and instead of diamonds, citrine and ruby on the basket. Our birthstones

 

[kcoursolle]

Wow, what a great surprise!! I think 7X5 is a perfect size for an EC!

 

[Catmom]

Not sure yet...I really wanted a custom setting, but I found the exact setting I wanted at a B&M store so...can''t decide lol. Either way I will have to wait until I have the money, which will be several months, unfortunatly.
