Hello all!!

I got engaged on June 11th while on vacation in the Bahamas. I've been waiting for the PS upgrade to post details and pics of course. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my ring and it was custom made for me by Pete at Quest Jewelers in VA. Working with Quest was a dream and we will be going back for wedding bands. The center stone was one I found from the virtual inventory and I had Pete call it in for us to view back in March. My fiance said that once he saw it he knew it was the one....he started getting chills!! LOL I got sent to the car while they worked out details even though he wasn't prepared to buy a stone that day. Here are the stats:

Center stone (I call it my disco ball)

I VS2 1.22 Carat Round
GIA Certified Laser Inscribed
6.87 x 6.93 x 4.19
Cut Grade: Excellent

Table Percentage: 57%
Pavillion Depth Percentage: 43%
Pavillion Angle (in degrees): 40.6
Crown Height in Percentage: 14.5%
Crown Angle (in degrees): 34
Star length: 50%
Lower Half: 80%
Girdle: Medium – Slightly Thick, Faceted
Culet: None
Symmetry: Excellent

Fluorescence: None
Scored 0.6 on the HCA

I'm a size 4 the ring is thin and dainty and measures about 1.97mm. It has 52 full cut accent diamonds going up the prongs and the basket and I would say it's a 3/4 eternity. I got a Euro shank on it to minimize spinning. It sparkles like mad and I can't see any color in it for an I. It's gorgeous and in the bright sunlight it's just awesome. More pics to come!!

Amazing ring!
I think many diamonds look so good in low, cloudy light -- especially yours!
I love the prongs, they sort of blend in but also look delicate.
 
Thanks Farleysmom! :-)

Thanks Studyer83! I agree, I love walking in the woods looking at my ring...which is hard to do since I'm usually walking my dogs! But it's amazing how it looks, it reminds me of a kaleidoscope. I'll stop and look at it in the bits of sun that is peeking through the trees and then in complete shade and I just love it. I think the same thing about the prongs! Quest did a really great job with our request. I went in prepared with a printed Powerpoint presentation of pictures of the ring I liked and prongs and shanks...It was pretty funny. :-)

Hey you! I've been checking every few days to see if you would be posting pics. Love seeing the ring UP CLOSE in those larger than life pics! Once again I love the ring, looks FAB on the hand (and so does the TAN :sun: )

Can't wait until it's time for pics of the "blingy" wedding band!!! :naughty:
 
:D

diamondrnglover: Thank you!! As for the nail polish, there are two different colors in the pics...the one on the palm frond is OPI's Melon of Troy and the other one is also an OPI color but one I borrowed from my coworker!

susimoo: Thanks so much! Fiance was quite happy that I have slim fingers! LOL They've always looked wrinkly to me with lots of lines and I'm only in my late mid-30's!

ckrickett: Thank you!

slg47: thank you! They were a last minute game time decision. We thought it would make the ring stand out and add uniqueness. When I first tried it on at the start of our ring shopping, I thought the diamonds on the head weren't necessary. When it came time to really decide what I wanted, we both thought that the extra diamonds would add an extra oomph! Glad we went with it!

oddoneout, lknvrb4,hest88, bouldergal, yssie, fire and ice, luckyeshe: Thank you!

missydebby: Thank you! Can't wait to see your Leon!

Atroop: LOL I didn't want to crash your email! Girl you know you'll get to see it live next time I'm up in NYC!! BTW I am taking wedding band suggestions, LOL :D

Whew...I hope I got everyone! Thank you again!! :wavey: :appl: :D :D :twirl:
