The ring you all helped pick and a story/info

[beaulewis]

Well I havnt been able to get my own pictures yet, but I did get the ring today. It is a .825 x princess I, SI2 in tiffany style WG 4 prong.

Now I was planning on giving it to her on the 24th as we were going to be out of town and I thought it would be nice to do it then. But having it in hand, its going to be tough to wait!! Its not so much a proposal, she one day not long ago said that she "had already decided to marry me". Here in the phoenix area its not that nice but for those that know about Sedona, AZ, thats where we are going to be the 23rd and 24th. Its beautiful and more romantic. Plus we are going to take a balloon ride over the red rock mountains. SHe doesnt know that part. We are going anyway, so any thoughts ladies??
http://www.redrockballoons.com/ Hope its ok to post outside links? If not let me know and I will remove it.


Anyway, when I get new and better pictures of the ring i will post them in the "show me the ring" forum.

As far as WF goes, everything went well, I was dealing with Bob and so far I am happy with the ring. I need to inspct it closer in the sunlight and have it checked out, but so far so good.

thanks to everyone who helped me out with opinions and time to look for nice stones for me. This forum has some very good people that really love to help. Youve made my experiance a good one and possibly kept me from making a decision that would have been less than perfect!

Thanks again
Beau

What a lovely ring!! I can''t wait to see the handshots when she says yes. Great idea for a proposal idea as well, I''m sure she will be thrilled! Congratulations in advance.

Very nice. It will be tough to hold on to the ring BUT the 24th really isn''t that far away.

I like your proposal idea.

Sedona is so beautiful. I flew hubby into the airport there, on top of the mesa, surrounded by the red rocks. Awesome. Went for a flight in one of the Red Rock biplanes, too. I am so jealous about the balloon ride. You will have a great time!

Just hoping you aren''t going to give her the ring while on the balloon ride. I''d hate to see it get accidently dropped.

Congratulations. Beautiful ring.

Thanks to everyone for the nice words.. Really appreciate them.. And I have thought alot about it falling out of the balloon. Im insuring it before we go.. But I will probbaly give it to her before we go up, for that reason and because we may not be the only ones in the balloon and its a private thing.

I have never been able to get some good pictures of rings. But here check it out and i posted a lot on photobucket for you to get a better idea of looks.
SO anyone wanting to know what an x factor I, SI2 in a .825 white gold looks like..

Beau, the ring you''ve chosen is GORGEOUS and I''m sure it will floor your girlfriend. Good luck with the proposal, Sedona will be wonderful.

Congratulations!!!

I really like that setting. And the ring itself is gorgeous.

As long as your gf isn't afraid of heights, sounds like an amazing idea. So romantic ... *imagines sipping Vueve Cliquot Rose or Moet&Chandon over the rising sun with a basket of roses, chocolates and even better company*

All the best for your proposal.
