Hi all, this is a two-part question.
I intend to propose in less than a month - I bought the diamond and the ring is being made right now!
The surprise proposal will take place in the hotel room during our forthcoming trip, and the lights will either be very dim or there will be candles. I worry the diamond might not look its best under those conditions, even though the diamond is amazing - round brilliant, D colour, VVS2 with terrific cut - and it remains pretty bright even when the lighting is not all that great. But still, the first impression is crucial. Accordingly:
1. Is it worth getting one of those ring boxes with a built in light to really make the diamond/ring sparkle? Is a simple ring box worth all the trouble?
2. Where can I get one of those boxes? All the old links from previous topics I have found on PS are no longer working, the only one I can find on e-bay is for 2 rings, and the only working link, http://www.favoritejewelry.com/RingBoxes/Ring-Boxes.htm , does not deliver outside of the US and Canada (I''m in Australia) + you need to buy 3 in one go!
I really want everything to be perfect so please help!
Thanks
