She Said Yes & Loves Her Ring!

[Mike714321]

Popped the question to her the other night and she said yes! Went for a walk with her and her dog in a nice park, beautiful evening! There's a walking path that goes down to some water just below a little bridge, paused to look at some "fish", and then got on that knee! She loves her ring and I do too! Reservations were made at a local restaurant, and was kinda funny because they thought I was proposing IN the restaurant, I think the hostess got too excited when I mentioned proposal on the phone and didn't hear me say we'd be coming there afterwards. We had quite a few wait staff come up and congratulate us thinking they had missed it? Haha. Anyway... pictures!

Mike,

Congrats, man, I'm so happy for you too! What a fun journey it's been these last weeks, starting from scratch and learning bit by bit, and having it turn out so wonderfully.

The ring looks beautiful and the proposal sounds like it was awesome.

Congratulations again and all the best wishes in your new engagement!

Thank you all!

The diamond is a GIA 5151986026 1.00ct I VS1 Triple Excellent with no fluoresence with a 1.4 HCA

Link at WF has SARIN, GIA report, and the ASET, IS, and a few other pictures.

The setting was purchased from Distinctive Diamonds here in Indianapolis, IN. Size 4.5. 16 diamonds in the halo, 3 on each side on, and then there's on one small one in the sides of the basket for a total of 24 diamonds. I think they're H colored, can't remember clarity, I think VS2 or so. I got it in white gold. They gave me a great price on platinum but factor in the band in platinum instead of the white gold and it was out of my budget.

Here's the jeweler's page for it, True Romance:

It's awesome, really happy with how it came out. Also really happy with Whiteflash. I had 3 B&M stores tell me I did great and got a great price, none could compete.

We just love the detail in it.




Thanks!

PS: It's amazing some of the pictures I took with just my phone and my 10x loupe up against the phone!
