We picked out the diamond!

[Iowa Lizzy]

I''m so close I can taste it! Haha!

Last weekend Jonathan at GOG sent us a video of 4 diamonds to compare and we loved one so much, S put a deposit down on it! Of course we''re a little nervous buying a diamond sight unseen, but we trust Jonathan and the GOG staff. I''m pretty positive we''re having it set in the Mark Morrell Flame. Woohoo!

I was asking S if he''d been thinking of any proposal ideas and he said "honestly? None that are any good." Oh well, at least he''s honest. He''s definitely more of a "hey, wanna get married *tosses the ring at me* and stuff?" So for him to really think and try to be creative is a big step. *sigh*

We''re flying out to Vegas on Friday for the weekend, but I''m certain it won''t happen there. Unless he wins big at the poker table and whisks me off to Harry Winston..... Oh sorry, I started daydreaming again. Teehee.

Anyway, thought I''d share my news with the LIWs. A big congratulations to all the lucky gals that have been getting engaged in the past week!

Oh, and anyone who''s interested in seeing the diamond, it''s the 4th (and last) stone in this video: Diamond ****

OOOOOO Nice!

grats! what kind of setting are you looking for

 

[idreamofcushions]

Holy cow, that''s a gorgeous stone!!! Congratulations!

Do you know how you want to set it?

 

[princessplease]

Lovely!!!
Any setting ideas???

 

[purselover]

aww congratulations that''s really exciting!

 

[Iowa Lizzy]

Thanks ladies!

We''re most likely setting it in the Mark Morrell Flame. He doesn''t like the tiny diamonds in the crown, but I do.

 

[icekid]

stunning diamond! (I don''t know why I am typing red..... grr)

 

[Porridge]

Gorgeous, and that''s my favourite solitaire setting. Can''t wait to see finished product!

 

[LadyBlue]

Very pretty stone, shines like crazy

, any setting ideas, I will love to see the stone in a gorgeous ring

 

[lucyandroger]

oooh...I had been drooling over that stone on the GOG website...NICE choice!!! I can''t wait to see it set. You must be so excited

 

[Dreamgirl]

TG- The diamond looks gorgeous and so perfect!!! How exciting!

(And just for the heck of it...I''ll keep my fingers crossed for a big win and purchase at Harry Winston''s...

) But why bother with Harry with that kind of a stone! You lucky girl, you! Guess you could always buy something else though

 

[D&T]

Oh Wonderful!

congrats.. Stunning Setting.. I love Mark Morrell''s work... Great choice

 

[Iowa Lizzy]

Thanks again ladies! It IS gorgeous, isn't it? Haha.

I've been cutting out little 8mm paper circles at work the past few days and setting them on my ring finger. I'm CRAZY I tell you!

Anybody have opinons on the little diamonds in the crown of the MWM settings? I think I like them. BF doesn't. Booo.

So many LIW do this! And it makes me feel better that I''m not so nuts as to do that!

Just teasing.

GUILTY.

It's fun to see the various sizes and how they'd look on me. At least we can be crazy together!

Hehehe! I love it! I have been known, secretly, to print out the pictures of stones (when I was looking at gemstones) and glue em onto my finger! I would copy/paste in a word document, and just resize it so the stone was the right size when it would be printed. I also tried on colored beads to get the idea in 3D. I am that crazy girl!

BTW - CONGRATULATIONS!
