Ok, so I started learning on here a couple years ago actually. After much research I purchased the diamond I wanted through a PS vendor, Union Diamond, and had a great experience with them. My plan was to purchase the stone then, and save up to purchase the setting of choice at a later time. So a few weeks ago I went with the Ritani Endless Love Halo in plat, ordered it from Finks in Norfolk, VA.

So... I proposed this past weekend! We were on hiking on a cliff on top of a mountain in Shenandoah National Park in VA (I knew I wanted to propose on a mountain-top), and it was amazing. She loves her ring!!!!!

She says it's perfect, so that makes me happy! All the research on here paid off for sure. I know I feel so much more knowledgeable now, especially when I know more than sales consultants in stores, ha. And I know there wouldn't have been any way for me to afford anything like what I ended up with without PS. I also know there're already some posts/pics of this ring on here, but I thought I'd post a few we've taken so far! Let us know what you think.

You're probably going to want some specs... so it's a 1.12c RB center stone, I, mb flouro, eyeclean SI2, ideal cut of course! There's about another 1/4 c of pave in the setting. Her finger size is 4.75, but I think we may have to add some sizing beads or a sizing bridge at some point.

We think the oil lamp gives it a little more of a vintage look...

Congras! It''s lovely on her hand!
 
Thank you everyone!!!! It was a long time coming, but definitely worth it!

And rhbgirl... that was how I''d always pictured it because we both love the outdoors. And we''re both more on the private side, so I didn''t want it to be in front of a lot of people. I knew I wanted to do it on a mountain-top, but I wasn''t sure which one it would end up being. When we got to the top, out on the rocks next to the cliff all by ourselves, I knew it was perfect. So I started talking about our relationship (trying not to give it away before I proposed), and she started crying just from that, ha. Then I talked about the symbolism/metaphor of the hike to our relationship, and how it was always worth it though there are ups and downs and how we ended at the peak, ect. Then after going to my backpack to slip the ring box into my pocket, I got down on my knee, and proposed right there. After some pictures and taking in the moment we headed back for a nice dinner and some relaxation at the B&B...

I''m adding a pic of the view where I proposed.
