I am on cloud nine right now and wanted to share with you my Promise Ring!
My SO and I have been talking about marriage for quite some time now. We've been dating for a year, but have been friends for close to a decade. We had both gone through difficult breakups in the past and supported one another. Then we found ourselves both single at the same time last year and fell in love with one another very naturally. In some ways we probably always loved each other. I know there has always been mutual admiration.
Because of financial difficulties on his side he's been wary about officially popping the question and getting THE Ring. I told him a few months ago that I didn't have to have a super expensive engagement ring. Sort of a hint, etc...
but didn't push things.
Anyhow, we had a date this past weekend and during dinner he seemed a little frustrated. I asked him what was wrong and he told me that he had ordered a "special gift" and he was upset that it wasn't here in time to give to me. Then he spilled his guts and told me that he bought the American Pearl Ionic ring that I mentioned liking. He said it felt "right" to get me a ring since I moved in with him recently. He wanted me to present it to me that night. I was already happy about this and assured him that I didn't have to have it right then and there.
Well, this morning FexEx guy knocks on our door. it was my ring! We opened the packaging in our pajamas together before work. He slipped it on my finger and it fits PERFECTLY! He said he wanted me to feel assured that we would get married and that he would now work on paying off his debt. After that, he'd save up for my dream ring. We shared words of love and I'm still loopy from the wonderful morning.
Course, not too loopy to not take pictures!
Specs:
Size 4 band
18k Yellow Gold
7mm Rose overtone cream pearl
3 1pt diamonds. G color SI1

Make sure you're very gentle with it - pearls are so soft!
