Hi,
Just wanted to share this story with my fellow PScopers.
So my cousin, Mandy and her husband has been married for 8 years now. They have two beautiful twin daughters (age 22 months). Unlike us, my cousin never had the pleasures of shopping for a E-ring or owning one due to financial circumstances. She has a plain yellow gold wedding band.
She knows I have been shopping for an E-ring with my SO, Sam. When ever I talk to her or show her pictures of diamond E-rings, I can see a little bit of sadness in her.....
I know last year for mother''s day, her husband wanted to get her a diamond ring, but somehow they never got around to it. And this year, her budget is extra tight because her husband''s very old car is no longer working, so they decided to get a truck (he''s in the remodeling business). She doesn''t work because she had to stay home to take care of the twins, so they live on one income. I searched for some diamonds around her budget ($3K) and found some wonderful ACA.
I called her with much excitement to tell her what I found. She was so excited on the phone! You should''ve heard her. (You know what women and diamonds equals to!
). But reality hit her and she said, " I don''t even have $300! There''s no way we can afford to spend $3K on a diamond." I was so sad afterwards.
I mean, Mandy is so responsible, she never goes shopping and never even buys makeup! She saves every penny her husband brings home. She only spends on needs and never on desire. I think she deserves this stone so much!!
So after I hung up the phone with her, I called her husband. I told him the whole story of the diamond, Mandy''s reaction when I told her and her response. He was like, "Ya, she is always so responsible." At the end of the conversation, he was like, "of course we''re going to get it for her! I want to surprise her with it. Don''t tell anyone about this. Do you need my credit card info now so we can order it today?" I was so happy!!! Yay!!
Mandy''s going to be so happy!!!
That was last week. We finished with the whole process today and the ring should be here tomorrow!!! I''m so excited!!
Now here''s the part I need help with. How should he present the ring to her?
Oh ya, I almost forgot to give the diamond nuts what they want. The specs:
A cut above H&A
0.786 carats
H color
SI2 clarity
60.4 depth
56 table
34.8 crown angle
40.8 pavilion angle
Thin girdle-faceted
Ideal polish
Ideal symmetry
Pointed culet
Fluorescence: Negligible
Measurements: 6.01-6.03x3.63
Let me know what you guys think. And any ideas with the presentation of the ring is greatly appreciated!! Thanks
