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.

Aww!!! Perfect!

Beautiful ring! Sounds like a perfect proposal, mazel tov!

 

[MichelleCarmen]

So pretty! Congrats.

Congratulations!!! Beautiful!!

Thanks everyone!

And lauralu, you asked for a side profile of the ring. As you can see, her finger doesn''t go up into that space. Also, as you can see the ring is actually sitting fairly low on her finger. It''s not much higher than the depth of the diamond... therefore, especially with the bezel, it''s not likely to get snagged or caught on anything which she likes.

Sorry we''re not photographers, but hopefully this one will do...

 

[lauralu]

thank you for that pic it is very pretty. It looks like it would sit higher than you described. Nice to know that it does not ....You did a fatastic job! Congrats to you both!!!!

Stunning! I love the profile of that ring. It's beautiful, and just the perfect size on her hand. The proposal sounds perfect too! Congratulations!

My favorite setting of all time Congratulations on your wonderful proposal and that gorgeous ring you picked out!

 

[Apprentice1]

Thank you everyone... and it means a lot coming from true connoisseurs such as yourselves!!!

 

[Londongirl1]

Wear it with pride

I''m not a huge fan of halos because most of the settings I''ve seen appear to ''swallow up'' the center stone. Anyway, that''s just my personal opinion and it looks lovely on your finger.

Congrats!!

 

[Amanda.Rx]

Yay for Ritani! I have the same ring- and I have to say, I do not regret choosing it 1 bit. I stare at it every single day and love it more and more. I hope she''s thrilled as much as I was! It''s a gorgeous piece!

 

[Apprentice1]

Londongirl, I know what you mean... when we first looked at this setting in store it was a .5c center stone and it did kinda get swallowed up by the halo. IMHO though, it seems as though it''s really all about proportions. With this size center stone it doesn''t seem to do that at all... and your eye is really drawn to the center stone in person (which probably ''pops'' like it does due to the cut)! Anyways, it''s a huge difference from the look of the .5c we saw in the store, almost looks like a completely different ring.

And Amanda, she does love it!!! She looks at it quite a bit herself, ha. I''m glad she''s as thrilled as she is, as she wanted me to have the final say and choose the setting that ''I saw her wearing''.

Glad you''re enjoying yours so much as well... there seems to be quite a few satisfied Ritani customers out there!
