FIrst of all, I have to say that this is probably the best site I have ever found for researching a product! I''m one of those guys who does a lot of homework before buying a car, a TV, etc. So when it came time to look for an ER, I found my way here. Between the info available on the main pages, and the expertise and varied opinions here in the forums, it is by far the best place to help educate yourself about rocks.

That said, I really would love to hear your opinions/thoughts on the ring I just bought for my unknowing-but-soon-to-be-fiancee. That doesn''t mean I am going to drug her and have her say yes - she just doesn''t expect it at all

I will of course post pictures when I get the ring next week... I''m hopeful that it will be as stunning in person as I want it to be.

It''s nice to read approval! When I ordered it I must have check and re-checked the specs through HCA twenty times (1.1 excellent BIC range for the center stone, 0.9 and 1 excellent TIC for the side stones)... comparison shopped the stones about 50 times... hedged back and forth about whether it was too gaudy or if I should go with something solitaire or smaller... what a nerve wracking experience. All that said, she''s worth every ounce of stress and effort!

I lurked for a long time, and was able to search the forums for most of the answers to my questions. It''s really what made this process much easier and I couldn''t have made decisions without it. Thank you all again!
