On it''s way!!!

tonyc2387 · Jan 14, 2010

yes, yes, it will be here in <20 hours but i''m too excited not to share.

Becca, the WF photographer, takes such amazing pictures. I mean, I always knew that, but it''s just a little different when it''s of *my* ring

They just leave me speechless!!

One more to come, then I''ll definitely be playing with my (now charging) camera tomorrow while my intended is at work

can''t wait to see this IRL... holy cow!

acebruin · Jan 14, 2010

looks gorgeous! are you planning to propose anytime soon?

tonyc2387 · Jan 14, 2010

thanks

unfortunately, not quite so soon... it''ll have to be locked away for a number of weeks. i know, i know, blasphemy in the world of diamonds... but it''ll be worth it

acebruin · Jan 14, 2010

hahaha i know exactly what you mean! i too had her ring for a couple of weeks before the d-day... she knew it was coming, but just didn''t know exactly when...

MichelleCarmen · Jan 14, 2010

oooh, that is very pretty. What size is the stone?

tonyc2387 · Jan 14, 2010

.836 G VS1 ACA... AGS report for those who are curious for more details.

oh and the setting is just the simple four-prong tiffany-style, made of platinum. she actually likes the simple style more... whatever makes her happy, and it''s easier for me

Beautiful & EXCITING!!! Post pics asap!!

tonyc2387 · Jan 15, 2010

thanks for the kind words everyone! it''s here, and, after scraping myself off the floor, i''ve been fiddling with it all day. also, unfortunately, i don''t seem to have fallen exception to the rule that diamonds always arrive on cloudy days

but that''s ok. it looks better than any diamond i saw in a store in the diffused fluorescent lighting in my bedroom... and only gets better from there. i really wish i could form coherent sentences about how i think it looks... but i''m just at a loss for words. truly something else... let''s just say i''m yet another extremely satisfied WF customer and ACA owner

anyway, on to the good stuff. i''m no Becca, for sure, but i''ve got 12 pics i think are worth sharing for y''all... let''s start with the kit that came in a bag in a box in a box (no joke! but it was secure

):
