Hi all!
I''m pleased to report that as of last Wednesday, A and I are ENGAGED! I know, it’s been a few days, but I have lots of pics to make up for it! He was very tricky

with the proposal. Because I''ve been so involved in the ring design process, he wanted to find a way to surprise me, and boy did he! I was at work, and went outside for my break. I work evenings so the sun was setting. I was talking to him on the phone, as usual. When I started my car to move it to the front parking lot, he asks, "Where are you going?" And I''m thinking, how does he know I''m driving, and why does he care? Then the phone goes dead. I stop the car, and get out to see him walking toward me with 2 dozen roses. When he gets to me, he drops to his knee and asks me to marry him. It was lovely. He then proceeds to tell me he has reservations for a nice restaurant this weekend. We''re very happy! It''s been so strange telling people, and I''ve been a bit self conscious about the size of the ring. But I''m sure I''ll relax soon enough. So, on to the RING! I''m utterly in love with it, and him, of course. Here are the stats...

EGL-USA
Weight: 2.70
Shape and Cut: Round Brilliant
Clarity: SI1
Color: K
Fluorescence: Medium
Measurements: 8.88-8.80 x 5.54 mm
Depth: 62.7%
Table: 57%
Crown: 15.5%
Pavilion: 43.0%
Girdle: Thick faceted
Polish: VG
Symmetry: VG

Additionally, the setting is white gold with J color melee, that I custom ordered to match.

Your diamond is FABULOUS! you need to enjoy it thoroughly. Don''t worry about it''s size, It looks perfect for your hand. I know it''s kind of hard to feel comfortable wearing large diamonds in todays economy, but you have a right to enjoy your happy moment whether your diamond is .10cts or 100 carats!
