AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! (sorry, had to get that out)

SO, as I said in my last post, the BF and I had our 2nd discussion of timelines and it was farrrr more successful than the first. WELL He asked what I liked (in a ring) and I said that I had a pretty good idea what I wanted, but had no clue on diamonds. He asked why and I said, well - I have never tried one on! I have no clue what size is appropriate for my hand! I didn't even know what size ring I wore because I refused to go into a jewlery store unless it was to BUY something. (didn't want to get my hopes up, ya know?)

Well, He said (very sheepishly and adorable) that it might be a good idea to go figure out what I like (carat, style, etc) and what size my finger is. AHHHHHHH Cue immediate excited freakout as soon as he left for work! I had asked if I could take a close friend, one of our roomates' girlfriend and he said yes as long as she kept to the secret mission. He didn't want everyone knowing because an actual engagement is still a bit off.

and WOW I never thought ring "shopping" would be so .... stressful!? I had butterflies, I was shaking, I couldn't talk properly and it was only the first store we went to. I went to all the chain stores in the mall to get a feel for things, get comfortable, and get my courage up before heading out to local jewelers. We will have to make a 2nd secret mission for the local jewelers because they were all closed for memorial day.

SO EXCITED! I had some questions though PS'ers!

I think I am IN LOVE with Halo solitaire! I thought it was strange to call it that because the halo has diamonds but I guess the solitaire thing is that there are none on the band. Does anyone know of someplace that has this in a LOW profile setting? I love this one on Eternity Diamonds and this Verragio. The problem with the ED one is how TALL it is!

Any ideas? Everyone in the mall said it would be really difficult to find but I am hoping that is just because they only carry the really popular rings?

Oh geez, that was long - eeps. Sorry.
 
You might want to post on Rocky Talky. They are pretty good at tracking down settings.

You can also contact ED and see if they can customize the setting a bit to allow a stone to sit lower.
 
Good idea! Thanks!
 
ditto the Rocky Talky advice, but also wanted to say CONGRATS for getting closer to being engaged! how exciting!
 
Odd.
 
Hey jespere, congrats! Are you wanting something round? Because, if you''re open, I think this one from WF is pretty:

Guinevere Solitaire

Also, have a look through the Halos thread. A lot of them have diamonds on the band, but there are definitely some in there with a halo and a plain shank:

The Verragio is stunning!
 
I LOVE halo solitaires! That is sooooo exciting!
 
Yoni: THANKS for the reply!! ;) I''ll hint to the BF that you will accommodate specific requests.

merilenda: I do like the Guinevere, but I think anything but round looks really odd on my fingers!

RisingSun: ISN''T is?! We could NEVER afford it, but in the ideal world where you can have anything for free - I would love it. lol!! Hopefully ED and my BF can work something out!

Grlsbestfrnd: Thanks!
