Thank you for the kind comments everyone!!

Dreamer - I am a lab rat in cell and molecular biology. I just passed into Ph.D. candidacy so now I just have to plow through to finish my dissertation - hopefully in a few more years

Good luck! I finished my PhD in 2007, can't say I miss grad school

But it is worth it in the end if you get to do something you love.

ETA Do you wear your ring in the lab? I wonder how academics react, there isn't a lot of bling around here! LOL!

 

[tigian]

My heart just skipped a beat. Beautiful ring!

 

[wsblue430]

Such a classic beauty!!

Congrats!! Great pics!

 

[LabRatPhD]

Thanks again everyone!! It IS strange to experience DSS. When I started wearing my ring when I got engaged, the stone seemed huge, almost to the point of making me uncomfortable! Now it''s not that it necessarily looks small - it just doesn''t look as big as it used to! I love it more than anything and even my FI says it looks great on my hand

Dreamer - Congrats on finishing your PhD! As someone who is in the mines, I am in awe of people who get through it in one piece!
I do wear my ring in the lab. When my PI (who is incredibly blunt about everything) saw it, she exclaimed, "that is huge! your fiance must make a lot of money!!". She always says whatever is on her mind so it wasn''t shocking to me! I am also a teaching assistant some semesters and I am always surprised when students comment (even the male students chime in)! It''s interesting though, some of the female profs in our pharmacology department rock pretty gorgeous bling! Maybe it''s a Texas thing!

 

[vespergirl]

Perfect, gorgeous ring - congrats!

 

[legra]

Beautiful, classic and it looks huge on your tiny size 2.5 finger! Thanks for sharing pics.

 

[Yimmers]

Congrats! So jealous you have a 2.5 size finger!!!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

I can''t think of any new and original adjectives...beautiful, classic, stunning, gorgeous, perfect, etc. have already been used!!! I love it!

 

[Bliss]

Gorgeous!!!!!

 

[kittybean]

LabRat, your ring is gorgeous! It looks so lovely and substantial on your hand.

 

[Diamond*Dana]

Holy heck! Your ring is stunning...I am so glad that you finally posted some pictures!

Maybe! Or a pharmacology thing... I`m in the arts so its mostly Birkenstocks and grey streaked hair around these parts

That''s probably good - I think something any bigger would make your finger hurt!!!!

No - really - it''s a beautiful ring!
