Victor Canera Braided Shank engagement ring

[jmb11]

Hi everyone! First time poster here. I recently proposed to my girlfriend and everything went perfect, and we will be getting married next spring!
Before I purchased the ring I spent many hours online trying to educate myself, including many hours lurking around on this site. It was actually a post on this site that helped me to find the exact ring setting that I was looking for. So I figured I would "pay it forward" by posting some pics to say thanks, and hopefully help someone else down the line.
I got the ring and diamond from Victor Canera. The idea of buying a ring and diamond from across the country without ever seeing them in person was a slightly nerve racking thought. However, Victor was very helpful and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process.
The ring is the Braided Shank Pave Solitaire. The diamond is a Canera Ideal Hearts diamond.

Here are the diamond specs for those that are interested...
