Hi Everyone! I received my new Octavia engagement ring today. It is absolutely stunning!! It has so much sparkle and fire - unbelieveable!! The whole process has been amazing and Jonathan at Good Old Gold was so knowledgeable and fun to work with. Thanks so much to KarlK for creating this gem.
Now to the story- The ring arrived this morning at my husband's office. He brought it home tonite. He sat me down in the living room and got on his knee. He said that he is not much for words ( I never got a real proposal when we got engaged) but he wanted me to know how happy he is with me. He also said that every year he loves me more and more. And that he can handle anything in life because he has that with me.
Needlesss to say he more than made up for not having a real proposal the first time around. I am sooooo happy.
We took pics with his cell phone and they came out awful. I just emailed Jonathan for the pics of it - and I am hoping Kenny or Karl K can help me post them.
Here are the specs on this diamond
Square Emerald Cut
Measurements 6.57x6.55x4.95
Finish:
Polish Excellent
Symmetry Ideal
Color H
Clarity Grade VH1
Carat Weight 1.60 cts.
It was graded by AGS. Originally we thought it would be an I, VS2, Very good to excellent. It came out higher than we expected.
Guys - when I get the pics - put your sunglasses on - because you will be blinded!!
Also, I highly recommend Jonathan and Good Old Gold. This whole experience has been a blast!! And if you can get an appointment with Jonathan in person, it is so worth the time and effort. He spends so much time with you explaining diamonds, shows aset images, etc and even under the microscope he has it set up to a flat screen tv so you can see it that much better.
