My Sapphire Engagment Ring!

[beatific]

I can't even begin to tell you how many rings I have drooled over on these forums. Well, I'm ecstatic to say that I was proposed to by the man of my dreams this past Wednesday!

About the ring.....

After looking at about 100 diamond center stone rings and liking some, but not feeling a very strong connection I decided to look at blue sapphires. It was then that I realized exactly what I had been looking for! I was not allowed to "pick out" my ring, but after trying on a tray full of beautiful rings at my family jeweler's store I kept going back to this one particular setting. At the time it had a yellow sapphire as the center stone. I kept thinking, "If only it were blue!" Guess what?????




I'm seriously in love with it and of course with him! While watching the Royal Wedding this morning I think I was staring at it as much as the TV!

He completely tricked me and made me think that he hadn't really talked to the jeweler since our visit!

In actuality, he went back and spent hours at the store with him and picked out a new center stone! As you can see he picked right! My pictures are taken with my iPhone so they really aren't doing justice. I should really take some better ones, but I was so excited to share!

The blue is so bright that it has been distracting me the last 2 days at work. Plus I'm left handed so it is right in front of me with everything I do! How do you get anything done?!
