New here, want to show off my ring. ;)

[moobaby]

I''ve been lurking around here for the last several days and ooohing and ahhhing at all the gorgeous rings people have been posting. A little background info, my husband proposed to me roughly 8 years ago. When we picked out my ring, we splurged on the diamond, but went with a relatively inexpensive setting with the goal that we would upgrade when we had more money. Fast forward to now, and I was shopping at the mall for work clothes and just was passing by Helzberg and saw they had a "restyle" event. I hadn''t been in a jewelry store in probably at least 4 years, so I was curious to say the least. Maybe it was fate but the very first setting I tried on fit my finger perfectly, and I absolutely loved it. I have no idea if it was overpriced or not (it was probably was) but I just adore the way it looks, so wanted to share.

Here are some before pics (sorry the only real good ones I have were when my friend did some photos of our baby with them). It is shown with my husbands wedding band.
