My summer of diamond research is over!

[SouthernCharm]

Huge thank you to everyone who made suggestions and helped guide me to finally make my purchase! I couldn't have done it without this site! I am forever grateful!

Ring is from JA, center stone .71, it says the band has 25 stones, but there are 30( yes I counted!), so my total should be just a hair over 1 ct.

As I am still novice with diamonds, please give honest opinion on how I did and how it looks!

Lovely! Please post handshots! When are you going to propose?

 

[kindred]

It looks beautiful!

 

[cchloe]

I just read your entire thread on rocky talky and I'm sincerely excited for you. It's beautiful, she will love it.

 

[Polished]

Lovely ring I think the proportions look perfect.

 

[Niel]

It looks so substantial in that halo for her finger size I think she's going to be blown away! I really shows all the hard work you put in to get her exactly what she wanted. I can't wait to see hand shots, so please come back with those. I'm genuinely so happy it came in time and you managed to get so much for your budget!!

 

[SirGuy]

I think it looks great! It really came together well. I think she's going to love it!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

It is beautiful and she will love it! A halo gives such a size boost!

 

[SouthernCharm]

Thanks everyone! I do hope she loves it. I'm hoping to propose either tomorrow or Sunday weather permitting. I'll be sure and post handshots when I can!

 

[EvangelineG]

Exceptional work (I read your other thread) - it paid off! Your sweetheart will adore her engagement ring. The proportions are lovely, and I bet it sparkles like mad. Congrats!

You worked so hard to get her dream ring. It is absolutely beautiful!

Proposal was a fantastic success! She absolutely loves it and hasn't stopped looking at it since last week. I only have one bad hand pic so when I get some decent ones I'll post them!

It is very pretty.

Very pretty ring. I'm sure she will love it.

Sorry for the long delay, it's been crazy hectic. We decided to not waste any time so we're getting married the first week of November. Below are the hand shots as promised!

 

[MGoldRN]

This is a gorgeous e-ring! I swear I was looking at the exact same halo... very nice, I'm sure she is thrilled.

 

[AprilBaby]

Great job! Congrats on the engagement!

I'm glad you didn't forget about us! Congrats on the upcoming wedding. I already know the answer, but did she love it??

Very beautiful!
Congrats!

 

[tyty333]

It looks lovely on your hand! Congrats!!

 

[SouthernCharm]

Yes, niel, she loved it! All my fears were immediately put to rest. She even loved the warmth of the J. She has shown it off to anyone and everyone so I'm completely satisfied. And JA is going to make me a matching band!
