So, I am a little disappointed. First let me say, no matter what the ring looks like or what the diamond is that''s in it, I''ll love it regardless. I''ll be more ecstatic about the meaning of the ring (the proposal and engagement) vs. the ring itself. But, that being said...
I had found what appeared to be a beautiful diamond online (at least on paper). It was in his price range, the size was towards the larger range we were looking at, it was an AGS0 with the best scores in Light performance, symmetry, and polish, and it scored a .9 with the HCA. I sent it to the BF (he told me if I was bored to look under in a certain price range), and even he thought it looked like a great stone. I suggested putting it on reserve. When I checked the stone later that evening, it said it was no longer available, and I was all excited that perhaps he had reserved it (as background, I know he can''t purchase a ring until this Saturday at the earliest). But, then when I started looking at the reservation policy for the vendor, I noticed it was only 48 hours, and since it would be at least a week till it would be purchased, I assume someone else has taken it. In some ways I''m glad I figured this out so I won''t be expecting that stone when he does propose, and like I said, I''m sure whatever he picks out will be beautiful. But, there is a twinge of initial disappointment.
Just needed to tell someone (and clearly it can''t be him!).
