The ring is stunning! The high gallery area should make it easy to pair a wedding band with it too. Well done!

gryffindor - My BF actually took a day off work to drive from the Toronto area to Erie, PA to pick up the stone. Not the recommended thing to do!

[caribqueen]

Congrats. Very exciting. Loved the pics!

 

[sammyj]

Thanks caribqueen!!

I also wanted to post one more pic for you ladies. Here''s the story...my Fi actually had TWO settings made! The first one was through a jeweller that was recommended to us. We had met with him a few times and we were both excited to work with him. When the setting came back, it was far too heavy and chunky for my delicate taste. The 2nd setting was made by a jeweller down the street (and the first jeweller we visited to check out e-rings and HOF diamonds!

). I am dropping off a thank-you card to the jeweller today.

So, here''s a pic of the two settings together. Major difference...

Last shot of the side of the ring. Any thoughts on what to do with this baby??
