Hi ladies-
This may not be the right forum for this thread, but I am bursting at the seams, so I just wanted to share. BF and I have gone to look at rings locally about 3 or 4 times now. When this process first began, I was sure that I wanted a princess cut e-ring, with channel set princess sides (much like the vatche x prong or reverse prong)- I told bf, half in an attempt to speed up the LIW graduation, that I was sure that that was the ring for me and he should just order it. (mind you, we have had our share of stress and arguments over what I view as given timeframes having gone by).
He, however, wanted to check out the place his brother purchased his e ring and I obliged (like I am going to pass up the chance to look at sparklies!). That first trip just solidified in my mind the fact that I knew the princess channel was the ring for me. However, we decided before ordering something I had never seen on my hands, to try it on first. So we found a place about an hour away that carried Vatche. Boy am I glad that I went- the ring was way to bulky for my hands. Anyhow, we continued looking to try to find something more appropriate for me. All the while I am lurking in PS and drooling over all the pretty pictures. Well, the more I lurked the more I thought I was taking a liking to the antique looks and the rings with the halos. I also decided I would like to see a cushion and radiant in real life. Last night we went to a wholesaler where I saw the cushion (modern), radiant, and princess side by side. I also was able to try on some halo rings (while those are gorgeous, they just do not look right on my hand!). I have however decided throughout my process that I want a Cushion with a small (2 - 2.25mm) band with bead set diamonds (they had one with a 2 mm band, x prong, with a round brilliant center and bead set sides, that they could reset with a cushion!!!).
Oh ladies, this ring is calling to me! We got home and I could not sleep at the prospect of having this beautiful ring on my finger and feeling like I am getting so close to graduating...sidenote, last week, he said that he has learned through my self education on PS that a ring is not absolutely necessary for the proposal and asked if I would be upset if he did it without the ring and allowed me to help design a setting (holy cow!!!). Anyhow, last night I was plagued with dreams with various plotlines surrounding this ring. I must be going off my rocker- I can hardly contain myself at the thought that we might be getting so close to the next phase in our relationship. Has anyone ever felt this way about a ring?
Anyhow, thanks for listening. I just wanted to get that out. Also, if anyone knows of any great pix with cushion solitaire center and bead or pave set band, I would love to see them!
