Hello All!

Received my pictures from WF today and very excited to see it in person in the morning. Loving the pictures of this ACA .911 F SL1 beauty! Plan to give it to the unexpecting g/f next weekend. :-)

The setting is the Sleek Line Legato with the taper except I had the shank reduced to 2.0 at its widest.

It''s gorgeous. So classy.
 
Beautiful, classic ring!
 
It''s very beautiful!
 
Congrats!!!!! It''s lovely!!!
 
Thanks for all the comments so far!

Picked up the ring today at FedEx and all I can say is WOW...it was making my eyes cross from all the sparkling it was doing! I also think I made a great call on thinning the Legato Shank to 2.0mm...it looks absolutely perfect to me. The hard part is going to be the one week wait to give it to her at this point.
 
What a fantastic choice! It looks gorgeous, and I''m sure she''ll flip! Don''t let it burn a hole in your pocket!
 
The ring is a beauty, she will LOVE it!
 
Why wait? Go give i to her now.

very pretty
 
Looks great! The thinner shank is very elegant. Be sure to come back with hand pics. Is it a total suprise? Did your gf have any input on her ring?
 
No, she''s had no direct input on the ring. She''s very old fashioned and is not a fan of the girl having any input on the ring as I''ve heard her say this when her friends have shopped with their significant others for rings. She also does not want to know when the proposal would be coming (even though I think she may have given up on this by now, lol)

I think since we''ve been together 7 years this coming weekend that she would accept anything. But I did, however, take some comments that she has made regarding other people''s rings into consideration when selecting the ring...she def wanted a stone that stood out from any side diamonds so I decided to get a really nice diamond and a plain shank and let her decide to dress it up or or not with more diamonds with a wedding band. She''s a white gold nut so I went with 18k gold and I went with a thinner shank after looking at rings myself. She''s not extremely flashy, but likes nice things so I decided to go with a .911 stone so that it was neither flashy nor underdone. She''ll also be graduating law school within a year and a half and I needed to make sure it would work in a professional environment.

I think she''ll be proud of all the time and research that I put into buying a nice stone and of course WF has that upgrade policy..

Lovely. Good job! I am sure she will love it.
 
It''s lovely! Ditto Dreamer and WSBlue....don''t wait...give it to her now! Then come back and post handshots!

You''ve done a great job in choosing this ring, it''s a STUNNER!
 
Wanted to give everyone an update! I proposed to her Friday evening at our home and she said YES!!!! I had surprised her with a homecooked meal and I had decorated the table with a table cloth, napkins, new plates, new silverware, wine glasses, a beautiful arragement of flowers for a centerpiece, tea light candles, and finished it off with a nice bottle of an award winning local bottle of Virginia wine :-)

We were celebrating out 7th year together so she never saw the proposal coming! She was in total shock and strong held the ring after she opened the box (I had put it in a Penguin figurine because she LOVES penguins and I didn''t want to tip her off).

She absolutely ADORES her ring and constantly talks about it....I feel pretty good about what I did knowing very little about her wants/likes in a ring...it is definitely a stunner!

I cannot thank the people of this board and WF (especially Sheerah) enough for the wonderful help I have gotten over these past few months.

I''m going to get finger shots and pictures of the ring up as soon as possible! The weather hasn''t cooperated to get good pics in the sun with our camera.
 
What a special proposal! Congrats!
