Holy Mackerel, that's gorgeous! What a fabulous combination, your design, Mark's stones and Leon's pave and claws!!

Congratulations on the engagement, too!!

By the way, ladies, keep these giant rocks a'comin'--I keep showing J rings like this to desensitize his diamond size perceptions.

Oh btw did you see my reply to you in the Cushion/Mark thread? I can''t believe I missed it. I replied the other day

Girl that thing is BEAUTIFUL!

 

[ManhattanLawyer]

Beautiful ring! It looks huge on your finger - of course that''s because it is huge My favorite part is the W. That is really unique. The pave work is gorgeous.

 

[LegacyGirl]

Geeze what does it feel like on your finger?????

I can''t stop looking at it!

 

[Dreamgirl]

WOWWEEE! What a ring! Very nice!

Before I even saw this stone, Scarlet came on here paging me to tell me that she had seen it while Mark was holding it for us. If I recall correctly she said, 'Girl! That thing is on Fire!' LOL SHe wasn't kidding though. I took this pic on the flight back to Florida. The light hitting the ring from the window was incredible. I actually had to hide my hand bc the fire was everywhere. My FI and I were joking that it was like being in a planetarium!

I am in love with your ring!

I love this picture! My cushion does this too and I love it! Your ring is gorgeous! The setting is so delicate and compliments your stone so well!

ETA: Darn it! The pic didn't show up.

Oh well, it is the one from the plane.

 

[Ifellinlovewithmybestfriend]

Holy crapola!!!!

 

[ShannonM]

WOW! That turned out just stunning. I''m surprised I can''t see the sparkles all the way from St. Pete

. I know we were all expecting big things from your ring (pun intended) but this surpasses anything I could have imagined.

 

[akmiss]

WOW! You should move your ring into the celebrity e-ring folder. Nobody would second guess

That baby is huge and congratulations!

[CrookedRock]

SDL~ I love you, and now I love your hubby!!! You know when they like jewlery, it must be pretty good!

Gemgirl~ I just had to catch my breath! Wow, there are so many pretties here, thank you so so so much!!

Isabelle~ I posted the story in the LIW board. Short recap... we were in Nantucket for my BDay and he proposed on an old classic wooden sailboat that he chartered out!
I have looked and looked and I can''t find a crookedrock anywhere!

Oct08Bride~ I hear ya, I really lucked out on both! Thank you! Lurking for years! OMG... I bet you have seen a ton... very big compliment!

Diamondfan~ He knows he did good. He''s so proud, it''s really cute... I would be happy to leave it with you for a min so long as it''s a trade for one of yours...

Littlemissbliss~ More pics are coming, I promise! All I want to do is take pics! And I can guarantee you it is a ring beyond my dreams too! Thank you!

Frances~ hehe.. Thanks!!

Gwen~ Hey you! You are too cute! I''m still thinking about that MWM, Leon mix that you were thinking of!

LitChick~ LOL That was exactly what my Mom said when she saw the pics. Actually I think that was what I said when he first gave it to me! LOL

Thanks Ellen & Cachette!

Thanks Harriet! I heard all about your gorgeous ring! I hope I can get up there soon for a NYC gtg, I think it would be a blast!

Ninama~ Baahhhh! Important, I love it... If only you knew me, I''m such a mess! Kinda funny actually!

Mercoledi~ Wow, works for me! Thanks!

Freke~ We both are in shock then. Ering on left hand W-band on right is the plan for now. But due to recent happenings with Leon, I really haven''t put any thought into it yet... The eternity band idea came bc I wanted to get something I could wear to travel or boat in, so I went and looked a fakes... Bad I know! BUt I figured I wanted something I didn''t have to worry about... I showed pics of it to the FI and he loved it... so we''ll discuss it further. I would love a cushion eternity but I would hate to have to find that many of these things! LOL What do you think I should do... I love bling!

ahappygirl~ awww, that is so sweet, thank you!

Jules~ Thanks! I have been meaning to ask you about your kitty... Is he/she a bengal or savannah? I have both and yours looks just like the bengal! Gorgeous!

IceT~ Thanx! WOW!

Bia~

Thank you so much! I''m feeling like I hit the FI lottery! LOL

Delster~ I love that pic too... I have a bunch of those. Seriously the fire coming off it was amazing! I had to keep snapping pics! Thanks girlie!

Maggie~ No lies... I look at it a lot!

Swingirl~ I was so worried tht all these details put together were going to be too much, but he really nailed it! The claws are sooo tiny, most don''t even notice them. But I know they are there, and I love them! Thanks so much!!

Gwyn~~ Hysterical!! Go with the argument that you know how to buy these things for much cheaper than most. hehe

I love your tactic! I did the same with the 3+ct thread!

Legacy~ We have to get our cushions together for a halo play date! We are may be the only Floridians around! At least close enough! I will be sure to let you know if I get over to your area!
I''m not sure which thread you are talking about... Can you link it?

ML~ I think my fav is the "W" too, espicially bc it''s my future initial!!! I wish everyonecould see the pave in person, it really is amazing!

Legacy~ IT FEELS PERFECT!

Dreamgirl~ Thanx!!!

Littlemiss & Lill~ Ummm, I am trying... The hardest thing is trying to carry on a convo, no one wants to look at ME!

Jenn~ I really really love that little face guy! Thanx a ton!!

Love in Bloom~ Thanx! I had to take it off to type bc it was distracting me!! LOL. I am really am thrilled!

Rachie~ I don''t think i have ever seen pics of yours! Do you have a thread, please tell me you do! It looks amazing!!! Beyond! So you know what I am talking about with the "plane light" I love it!

Ifellinlove~ 1 post! Did you come out of lurkerdom for me? JK! Welcome and thanx!

ShannonM~ OMG, another Floridian! I tried so hard not to build it up too much, but it was tough! I was sooooo excited about what I had imagined I had created, then I saw it and my expectations were even surpassed!!

akmiss~ LOL, some suggested that when we bought the stone! Who was that? hmmm...
Thanks!!

Kayak~ LMAO! Thanks a bunch!

Ayala~ I like your fancy words! Now what do they mean??? LOL

DS~ Sparkly is exactly what it is!! Thanks so much!!

 

[CKinNYC]

CrookedRock, WOW, that is one STUNNING ring!!!

I LOVE that you incorporated the "W" - you have given me inspiration! My fiance''s initials are MM, so I think I will get Leon to incorporate an "M" into the prongs for my ring - he''s going to be working on it soon! I hope you don''t mind - thank you so much for the idea!!!

 

[scarlet16]

Ok, here are the photos I took of CR's & my Leon together. These photos really stink. Guess that means you'll have to come play and we'll get better glamour shots! CR's stone is actually SUPER white in person...but Mark's office lighting really sucks!

I just realized now though that I didn't take any finger shots...I'm not sure what I was thinking!!!

Blurry but I LOVE the rainbows!

[ginzagirl]

WOWZA! So is your one arm more muscular than the other for carrying that rock around?!!!

Happy Belated Birthday and many congrats on your engagement.

I am now waiting to see pics of MrsS''s.

 

[HollyS]

HOLY CANNOLI!! Now that's a ring!!

What a stone! CrookedRock, we need to send these photos over to the 'celebrity bling' thread!

How do you get anything done with that on your finger?? Don't you just sit and stare at it most of the day?

(Oh, and the FI is quite cute, too!)

I see I'm not original with my thoughts above. It's hard to find enough words to describe our feelings of . . . GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY, THAT'S ABSOLUTELY THE MOST AMAZING THING WE'VE SEEN HERE AT PS!!!!!!!!!!! Upgrade? Who said upgrade in their post above? That would be impossible!!!!!!!

 

[portia]

Congratulations CrookedRock!! Your ring is gorgeous. Stunning!!!

If you''re ever in Telluride at the same time as me and my DH, I''ll know who you are by the beacon of light shining up from your hand (think Luxor Vegas). LOL!!

You must be so excited to finally have it on your hand! Congrats!!

 

[Miranda]

I had to come back and take another look. That is a honker for sure! And a gorgeous one at that! I love the ''play date'' pics!
