Hello, lovely Priscopees- So I knew when he proposed, my boyfriend was going to use his grandmother's ring ... that I had never seen in person, and had heard some *very* alarming things about that led me to believe it might be one of those cluster-y 1980s-mall style rings.

It was, in his words, "an awesome, stunning ring," but this is from a guy who also finds, say, weird old 1970s vans stunning, so I had my doubts.

And then it was in my stocking on Christmas morning and it is GORGEOUS! She made it out of two rings she had in the 1950s, and I've never seen anything like that. The center stone is right around 1.25 ct; VS2, transition cut. I don't know that the TCW is (I will when the appraisal comes in) but it is so. Much. SPARKLE! :love: :love: :love: Just wanted to share my sparkly happiness with y'all. Happy New Year!
