Newbie + Awkward

[chinglish]

Hi everyone,
I''ve joined mainly because I find the quality of the wedding forum so much better than the other ones I frequent!
I''ve just started posting randomly and realized I should really introduce myself!

I''m from Toronto, engaged since May - wedding will be next August!
Someone asked to see my ring - and I just wanted to say this before posting: I have very little knowledge about diamonds, rings , jewelry etc.!!
I think it may be because I have a very small retainer for numbers, charts, details like that. But I love looking at the pictures though!

I didn''t even expect a ring from my FI, I ''ve always told him I didn''t want anyone spending such inexorbant amount on a piece of jewelry. But of course, now that i have one, I''m in love with it.

I''ve always been shy to ''show off'' the ring. but here it is. It fits me perfectly, simple and natural without any embellishments
I just feel awkward showing it when there''s so many amazing beautiful pieces out there - I never knew there were so many different and unique designs!

And of course I don''t remember the exact specs! I might check tonight when FI returns home from trip.
I know its platinum band, Canadian diamond, four prong, made by local designer here Linda Penwarden.

chinglish - your ering is perfect. So dainty and gorgeous, just what I love!!! Do you have specs, ring size and band width? I want to go for the same look - simple yet stunning!!

It's absolutely fabulous! You've found a place where you can show off your ring without feeling silly or shy...PSers certainly love sparklies and are always game for looking at all the pictures you want to share! Oh, and it's a really nice place too!

Beautiful ring. Solitaires are the best! And, I think that your prong setting is perfect. Of course, my first engagement ring was a solitaire with the same prong arrangement. It was unusual back in 1975 as well, and I loved it.

Congratulations on your engagement and happy wedding planning!

Hi, and WELCOME! Chinglish, you''ve come to the right place to talk about/post pics of/get feedback on your ring! It''s gorgeous! Congratulations on your engagement, and so happy to have you join the PS family!

Now...we''ve got to talk about getting some macro shots of this beautiful stone and setting...lol! Feel free to post more pics, anytime, all the time...we psr''s can''t get enough visual eye-candy and don''t discriminate about size, etc. So post away...we''d love to see more!

Your ring is beautiful. It is timeless and a classic. When I first got engaged, I would talk more with my hands, making sure everyone would get a look at it. Wear that baby with pride.
