Congratulations! The ring is just beautiful, and I love that you "only know approximate specs". It's more mysterious that way ;))


Hehe yeah I felt a little crazy buying an ungraded diamond after knowing all that I do about diamonds but we decided to buy from an estate store because it was both budget and environmentally friendly (no new mining, etc). It sparkles like mad and actually faces up VERY white in almost all lights and it just felt like a better fit for us than anything we saw in jewelry stores.


Thanks for all the congrats!!!!!

Congratulations! Love the story and the ring. We used to say the same thing about the constellation Orion...we could just about always see it from wherever we were in space and time. The moon is even better, because you can see it more often than you can see Orion! But the three stars in Orion's belt reminded me of the three lovely emerald cuts in your ring, so I thought I'd share. Anyway, congrats again and enjoy every day!

So I was going to wait until tomorrow to post this when I could post some pictures but SO (or FI I suppose now :love: ) insisted that I need to "get off that damn list!!!!!" So...


I'M ENGAGED!!!!!!!!


Ahh it sounds surreal.

Ok I promise a story first thing tomorrow and pics as soon as I can find my camera cord, sorry for the teaser! I need to get some sleep though because I need to work in the morning and I have to be up in about 6 hours....

And congrats on the list bump to all but the top 13 of you LIWs. Vip0802, may #14 bring you as much luck as it brought me :bigsmile:

Callisto:

That's super sweet! It's so hard being that far away from someone you love so it's nice to always have something constant to associate your relationship with.

Yay! Congrats, I'm so happy for you :bigsmile: Your ring is gorgeous. I love 3 stone EC rings and your proposal story is VERY sweet.

P.S. We're hand twins. Not only are we the same size but I was looking at your pics and our hands look almost exactly the same! Lol, just thought I'd share.

Thanks! I hope you guys all check out the SMTR thread after I can take some better pictures. Those crummy iphone pics do NOT do this ring justice. It has the most gorgeous creamy white color to the stones and the facets are like a hallway of mirrors. I promise better pics soon!

Haha that's too funny. I'll be sure to look out for your post when you get engaged to see your hands (and the sparklies on it!). Have fun if you go to traditional jewelry stores though... ugh all the rings are huge! I had such a hard time actually trying to envision the rings on my hands cause I was trying to keep them from falling off or flipping around my finger.
