ENGAGED!!!

[Blair138]

Well ladies-after 4.5 years together-my FIANCE proposed tonight!!!! I had an inkling but wasn''t getting my hopes up (since we all know what happens when we LIW do that)...

We were going to dinner and I had gotten to his house and changed. He decided we should have some wine so we did and I stepped into his kitchen-all the sudden he says "I have something for you" and pulls out a hand painted wine glass with engagement rings all over it that I had eyed about a week ago. I stared at it and him with my mouth wide open...he said stuff I can''t remember and got down on his knee and took the ring out of his pocket!!! Then we went out to dinner but neither of us could eat we were so excited!!!

It was soooo cute-he was Soooo nervous-I have never seen him like that EVER.

The ring is GORGEOUS!!! I will post pictures tomorrow but it is EXACTLY what I wanted-RB center stone with 4 RB small stones on each side. IT''S PERFECT!!!

Thanks ladies!! I woke up early and put my ring on because I still can''t believe it!! I''m going to try and attach photos but last time I had problems so it might take me a while. I took some by the window but I''ll take more outside today! Excuse the nails-I didn''t have time for a magic mani

Now for the goods-

Center is RB 1.6 carats
total carat weight is around 2 (I think)

I saw the GIA cert so here is what I remember

G color
SI1
Crown: 60%
Table: 60% (I think)
no flourescence
white gold setting

It''s definitely my dream ring!!! FI has one of my wedding bands already, it has 10 matching small diamonds and sits flush. He''s ordering my other one because I get 2!

I''m so excited and I cannot believe this really happened!!!

 

[smiles]

big congrats!! I can tell how happy you are!!!! The ring is beautiful!!! Best Wishes!!

ETA: I can''t find the edit button-but I am not totally fluent in diamond speak and don''t think crown and table were the terms I meant to post-but hopefully someone more experienced knows what I mean

Thanks to everyone for the fabulous comments!! I am still on cloud 9!!

I PROMISE to post more pictures tomorrow-I have had a LONG weekend and I have a huge presentation in grad class tomorrow-I need beauty sleep...Hopefully it will be sunny tomorrow so I can get some outdoor shots-it was a little gloomy today.

 

[WishfulThinking]

Oh goodness, your ring is flippin'' gorgeous!

I love my colored stone to death, but your diamond and setting are definitely what I''d want if I''d chosen a diamond [in my dreams, of course- my budget would have thought differently!] Sorry if I missed it, but who made the setting?

I am glad you got your dream setting and such a great Fi to go with it.

Can''t wait for more pics!
