It happened!!! I got engaged on New Years Eve. I've been lurking on here for about half a year, steadily changing my mind about my diamond and ring preferences. I've definitely learned so much about diamonds in this past year.
So back to the story. Yes, we were on vacation in Jamaica for New Years when he popped the question on the beach during cocktail hour. I started giggling when he began proposing. All I kept thinking is "It's happening. It's really happening."
We purchased the stone and the ring from Brian Gavin. Great selection. I'm very pleased with them overall. My boyfriend, ahem, fiancee was on board with hearing my preferences but in the end I wanted to let him make the choice. And a great choice he made. The ring itself has 3 rows of micropave circling the band halfway. This adds a lot of sparkle and sass. And the diamond itself! What a sparkler! It is such a firecracker. I've never seen a diamond sparkle soooo much. Once I received the ring, I started comparing my diamond to my colleagues/friends and hands down, I can't find one that has the brilliance and sparkle of this one. The color is on the warmer side but this is barely noticable since the diamond is constantly shooting fire. I seriously can not get over how beautiful this ring is. Some of the diamond specs are as follows:
3.05ct
GIA certified
J color, no fluor.
Ideal cut
The ring:
Ring size 5 1/2
2.5mm wide domed band with 3 rows of approx. 0.50 ctw F/G VS diamond melee set half way around the shank and the classic Tiffany style 6 prong head.
I have not seen the report itself so will update with all of the stats as soon as I get my hands on it. I'm so happy.
