My Tacori 2584 Engagement Ring!

[cottonbear]

Hi Everyone!

My wonderful (now) fiancee just proposed yesterday with the beautiful ring that we picked out together. I was never a girl who loved diamonds, but that's unfortunately not the case anymore. I've been lurking around the forums for information and inspiration. Couldn't have done it without you guys

I had a very hard time choosing between the Mark Schneider Beloved and Clarity, which are both very beautiful designs. However, when I saw the Tacori, I immediately fell in love with it's simplicity and subtle crescent detail. Here are the specs:

Setting: Tacori 2584 in Platinum, ring size 5 ( a little loose right now, may need to get it resized. It's spinning too much.)
Diamond: 1.73 carat RB; triple ex; J color; faint fluorescence; SI1 clarity; 1.3 HCA (The HCA definitely helped weed out the bad ones)

I'm ridiculously happy with the diamond and the setting. My personal preference was for the diamond to look a little square-ish, and the prongs definitely helped do that. The diamond faces up very "white" to me. I don't notice any kind of tint (but I'm a newbie). Please excuse the unmanicured hands

Cottonbear, your ring is LOVELY. I'm considering a number of solitaire settings as well and this is one of the front runners. Have you tried it with a wedding band? Does it sit flush with most wedding bands? Any insights will be greatly appreciated!
