Hi there. I have been lurking on this site and shamelessly leaching all the information from it that I can get from it for ages. Two weeks ago the man who is now my future husband completely surprised me with a proposal.
I have so much enjoyed reading everybodys'' stories here. I hope you enjoy mine.
It was about early summer when my darling best friend showed me a picture of her dream engagement ring. I was astonished by the fact that I had never thought about, but from that moment on I was hooked. I''ve looked at thousands of rings. After a few months (with enthusiastic encouragement from my now MOH) I strategically left a few pictures on the corner of the desktop of my computer screen . Little did I know that my FH had already been saving for months...
Completely unbeknownst to me, he had been educating himself on diamonds and working with a (now ''his'' jeweller) to create a ring for me. The Jeweller (at Saachi and Saachi) goes to italy every month to buy diamonds, and (the way i understand it - please correct me if I''m wrong) the way it works is he buys a thousand diamonds or so for a bulk price and within that batch there are some duds and a couple amazing ones. Well after four months of searching, he called FH and said that he had found ''it''. Mike brought the pictures that he found on my computer into the shop to aid his description together they designed custom hand-wroght the setting for him.
FH reasonably frequently comes back from being out with something for me, be it pretty or yummy, and he always does the ''pick a hand'' thing, so i didn''t think anything of it when he came in the door and called out "Hunny, I have a present for you!" I was at my desk and he came up looking boyish and terribly pleased with himself with his hands behind his back and told me to pick one. Well, I said I wanted both
and he glared at me. So I picked on and he placed a cupcake down on the desk in front of me. I love cupcakes, so I was delighted. When I turned back to kiss him and thank him he was on one knee holding a ring box open and he just said it:
"Will you marry me"
Just like that. No preamble, nothing. He said afterwards that he didn''t feel right buttering me up before asking me to marry him. He said the ring was ''sposed to do that!!
So. (I said ''yes'' obviously) without further ado, here is my ring.
.86 ct
G/H colour
SI1
Ideal cut
and that''s all I know about it...
I''m sorry I don''t know how to attach more than one photo to the post, so I''ll have to do multiple posts. (I know there''s a way cause I''ve seen it done!!)
