Hello everyone!! I''ve been to this site a few times, usually when I am getting anxious about seeing my ring. I''m not sure when I''ll get it but I get so anxious. I knwo what jeweler it is at, and I could drive over to put it on... but I won''t let myself. AHHHH!!! :)

A little backgraound...
My BF and I were best friends for about 2 years, before we decided to start dating 13 months ago. We lived about 4 hours apart after graduating college, so I made the move in May and we''ve been living together for 6 months. It''s been the most amazing time, and I love him with all my heart!!

About 3 months ago I had eye surgery and we started talking about looking at rings... we''ll unexpectidely, I found one I loved that week. For our anniversary in October, he surprised me with the reciept for the setting, but hasn''t bought the diamond yet. The picture shows it with a brilliant cut, but I actually prefer Emerald. After some research, we found out that it was going to be quite more $$ than he was expecting, so its just going to be a little longer than originally thought till he gives me my e-ring. I''m so excited that I got to pick out my own setting, and yet I still don''t know what it''s going to look like. My BF cares more about the quality of the diamond than I do. I fell in love with the setting.

I''m not here to bash my boyfriend for not asking, he''ll do it when he''s ready. I have just decided not to tell any of my friends until he actually proposes... so I needed a place to talk about it!!! My BF will probably be happy that I found somewhere to talk, so that I dont have to bug him anymore!! :)

Anyway... thanks for letting me vent a little. Here''s my ring (replace the radiant center with an emerald though!!)

And please give me your thoughts on the band?? I just found it today online, and I really think that it might be too thick?? And also... how do I post pictures directly onto the forum pages??


Have a great afternoon!!!!!

I''m a setting girl too. It''s all about the carrier of the diamond, right? Congrats on your happiness and welcome to PS!
 
Welcome to PS

what a lovely setting I think it will look beautiful with an Emerald in it very elegant :)


In regards to the band have you tried it on with the ring? I don''t think you will be able to make up your mind until you see it IRL :)

GL with the search
 
Welcome! I love the setting, and I have an emerald cut. Not sure I love the band, agree it is too thick and unbalances the ring in my opinion!

This is a great place to vent about things!
 
Welcome to PS! Lots of new LIW around here lately....anyway the ring is beautiful, but I''m not so crazy about the band. To each his own though. I don''t think you will really know til you try them on together. Hope you dont have to wait too long!
 
The welcome wagon for LIW''s is fabulous!!

I haven''t seen the band IRL yet. The jeweler we went to, didn''t have it with the ring... which also leaves me curious. They only carry the best of everything. Also, Martin Flyer is big about the "Flyer Fit" right now, so that may be why it isn''t in the store. Anywho, I found the picture online and just wanted some opinions.
The ring itself is going to be a 2.00+ CW and TCW is going to be around 3.14 I believe... I don''t know how I''m going to even fit a band on my finger!!! AHHHH I can''t wait!!!

Anyway... thanks to you all for your posts.
