oh yikes!

sorry! sometimes I miss one through all of these posts!!! (eta I think it it is because of the large SPACE in between...and scrolling). many apologies to kagordo!

kagordo would you honestly wear your ring in the ocean though?!?!??!? i can understand on the beach but in the ocean...I would be scared to death! do you wear other jewelry swimming?

I know Kenny wears his octavia in the pool but he has gloves to protect it

ETA and a pool is...well...a pool...with a bottom...and you can see things in it

No worries I was just joking.

Would I wear it in the ocean..? Well honestly yes. My mom wears her's all the time and it's.. well it's much larger than what I will be getting. (side note, I really should try to get some pictures for SMTB, it's a beautiful ring). I also don't really go in the water any deeper than my waist, SO is sort of terrified of "dark water." lol. If I were going snorkeling or something I'd weigh my options, but most of the time, yeah I would. My idea of the beach is also like... maybe 10 minutes (or less) in the water on a pretty regular basis. I'm actually beach starved right now; I haven't been since summer courses started. : (

hi dawn! BF and I picked out the ring together (it is a square cushion H&A with pear sidestones) and I know he has it in the apt! He is waiting to propose until AFTER I get back from camp (I am leaving Friday for ~2 wks to work at a summer camp in TX)...so it will be sometime after that, but not sure exactly when. It will definitely be BEFORE Oct 1st though, so somewhere in that general time frame.

here are the CADs from BGD...it is going to be like this except with V-prongs on the pears. I kept going back and forth on designs but I think this one will be really classic and beautiful but not something you see everyday!



ETA the center stone is 1.108 G VS2

I love this setting. It's classic and timeless, but has a certain je ne sais quoi. : )

OK, I suppose there is a difference between like snorkeling/scuba diving (although then you would have a wet suit) and just hanging out on the beach maybe going into some shallow-ish water. Where are you from? I haven't been to the beach in forever...really want to go might not go until my honeymoon though!

thanks kagordo! I can't wait to see it in person that's what I was going for...I don't like the super modern/sleek looking setting (for me personally, although they are cool)...I wanted something classic but not the basic Tiffany solitaire (too boring for me). I can't wait to see it!!!!

Thanks SLG for your story!!! Great ring.. I love pear sidestones... if I didnt take the route I did then I prob would have had them too!

I'm from Englewood, Fl. It's tiny : ) but it's sort of close (like within an hour) to Sarasota.

I live in Tampa now for school. This is the farthest I have EVER been from the beach. From my apartment to decent beaches, it is like a 45 minute (or longer) drive. I miss my hometown (huge) beaches, with like no one on them. My four years here have done nothing but make me antsier and miss the beach and sand, lol.

yes I also love pear side stones...at the first store I played around with trillion side stones but the pears were just softer and I fell in love
