A big THANK YOU to every one who helped me here. And special thanks to Lorelei who answered each and every post of mine.

DH never proposed to me with a diamond. So for our 3rd anniversary he got me a 3 stone ring(.40 points total). FOr our 5th he wanted me to have, in his own words, "Anything you want no matter what". So I got an engagement ring, a trip to Paris sometime soon :) (Yes, I plan to keep him forever).

We went to very many B&M stores and read about diamonds on pricescope but didn''t read too many post on this site (BIG MISTAKE). We bought home a .50 carat round platinum ring from costco. I tried it on, shopped around to get down to my size and DH wasn''t happy and I wasn''t sure about it. He wanted me to get a slightly bigger stone. We upped our budget a bit and I started looking into online PS vendors. I zeroed in on a stone+ring and almost clicked "pay" but then for some reason decided to post on the forums.

And it was the best thing I ever did. I got so much good advice and more suggestions and I went with one that was suggested by you all and I think I am gonna be one happy momma when my piece arrives tomorrow.

I went with whiteflash. Bob Hoskins is the best :). Any one who replies within one hour to my email is awesome in my books. We emailed back and forth and he answered all my questions and the deal was done over a period of 2 days.

I am attaching a picture that WF sent me today. I will post finger shots tomorrow :). Thank you again :)

That''s a very good looking ring.

What is HCA rating? I have seen this term many times in PS.

Also, what is B&M? I try to look up the internet with the term "B&M diamond" didn''t see anything close to diamond. Is it a store?

skippy answered you questions :). I got the HCA (Holloway cut advisor) rating from datlas.com

B&M is a brick and mortor store. Like a physical location Vs. On-line :)

Dh wanted to come with me to pick it up. The first thing he said as soon as we opened the box is "Wow, it''s very beautiful". This coming form a guy who never utters the word beautiful or cute ever :). I know what you all are syaing, shut up with you stories and post pictures. I took 40 0shots. 20 are good. I will post few.

Last one I promise. And no that is my finger. I took a macro shot, so looks like bark of a tree.
