A few weeks ago, I received the ring from Yoni of EternitybyYoni.com and my girlfriend loved it-- I posted pictures here. I took the ring away from her, telling her I wanted to give it to her officially in a special way. Since she loved the ring, she wanted me to find the same exact ring for me (we are both females), so I worked with Yoni to have the same ring made. (Well, as same as two diamonds can be)

I proposed to my now-fiancee this past Saturday. I took her to the park where we first met. I had set up 200 flameless candles right after sunset, creating a pathway to the tree where we first kissed. She was really surprised and luckily, said yes!

Well, today, MY ring came. And she's letting me wear it today, before she takes it away and wants to give it to me officially. I guess we are each having our own proposal!

Here is my ring! Specs: 1.7 carat, HCA <2, G, eye-clean SI1, GIA XXX, 60/60 diamond (I like how they look). Her diamond has the same exact specs and is only .12mm larger in spread. Mine is a size 4.5, hers is a 6. Both platinum, 6-prong knife-edge settings.

Right out of the box and onto my hand:

It photographs and looks so different from my fiancee's ring. Mine has a clear sparkly depth to it, while hers is icy white and not so glassy. Interesting.

Both our rings on my finger. Hers is on the top. Hers is a bit out of focus, boo.

and of course, I love this: (I'm on the right)

A special shout-out to Gypsy, who gave me the confidence to build not one, but TWO rings! And thank you to Yoni for another amazing ring!

Gorgeous sizable stones shown off to perfection in simple solitaires. Interesting to have two stones to compare! Congratulations on your engagement.

Wow, gorgeous, sparkly, goodness- you two are so lucky! I really enjoyed the story and pics- with the two rings on one finger and with both your hands. Its funny how you say how different the diamonds are with the same specs and everything. Congratulations on your engagement and best wishes!

I have some photos, but they're not the best due to the lighting (it was post-sunset). I was so nervous and all over the place mentally just trying to get her there to surprise her (had to lie to her, LOL), with our kids in tow and as soon as I saw her family (who set up the candles), I completely forgot to take photos. We do have a few pics, but not sure my fiancee wants her face on the internet. Also, our kids are in some of the photos and I don't really want them on a public message board. That said, here are a couple photos that I can share:

Gives you an idea of the candles, though you can't see "our tree"

don't judge me, but we harmed the tree ;-)
