I''m VERY curious too! I love following a good story! And I admit that setting has grown on me since I saw it the first time ...(esp. after seeing the Stardust version too). Good ring vibes coming your way Ashman!
I just got the ring from Sun Jewelry this morning and can hardly contain my enthusiasm! I had to tell you all I was very apprehensive when ordering after reading the posts and doing research about diamonds on Pricescope. You can probably tell by my past posts that I was looking for a great deal and I know I got it here after receiving the ring. Abit was great to work with and took time to understand my reservations and concerns.
When I opened the box this morning, I was blown away. The fire and brilliance of the center stone was incredible. I really enjoyed how the diamond was suspended in the air and really showed it off. The princess diamonds underneath was excellent as everything was nice and smooth. I can tell that this is a quality piece as everything is so smooth and elegant. However, I am not an expert so I am going to have a local jewelry store take a look at it. They have a master appraiser there so I’m going to have them check it out.
I can not wait to pop the question. I want this to be as special as possible and as soon as I give it to my future fiancée, I’m going to post a picture of the ring to let everyone see.
Just as I promised all of you! Here is the beautiful ring I purchased from Sun Jewelry. I had the ring checked out and appraised by a local jewelry store over the weekend. The appraiser said he was very impress with the style and quality and appraised it for more that 2 ½ times what I paid! Needless to say I was ecstatic, but nothing compared to the excitement my future fiancé expressed when she first opened the box. That made all my research and diamond learning experience well worth it. I just wanted to thank everyone for their opinions and it was helpful for me to make an intelligent and financially sound decision.
Oh Wow, thanks so much for coming back and sharing a picture, and a hand shot no less. Congrats on your successful purchase and I''m so glad you fiancee loves the ring.
Lovely ring! Could you share a ''side profile'' (along the shank) picture of the ring? How much space is there between the diamond culet and the ''middle'' shank?
