Hello everyone!

This is my first ever post, but I’ve been stalking the threads for quite some time.

Please let me know if I’m breaking any thread rules as I’m not the best at following instructions. :oops2:
I’m actually very shy, but my wonderful amazing superhero of a boyfriend (now fiancé eek) proposed to me this past Saturday!

It was a wonderful surprise proposal at Dreher Island near my hometown which I love! I was basically squatting on a tree stump nearly in the water...holding our baby kitty (we like to take her on road trips and walk her on a harness and leash as she quite enjoys this). I was laughing my butt off, and the pictures are pretty hilarious to be honest!

Anyways, I’ve spent hours looking at everyone’s beautiful jewelry, so I felt like I should give back and share the love!

I realize that there are polarizing opinions on heart cut diamond engagement rings, but I’ve always wanted one since I was in middle school (there is a good reason, but it’s quite personal). I’m 24, and my boyfriend (fiancé!!!) is 25 now, for reference. :) Even when I am 50 years old, I don’t see myself loving this shape any less to be honest.

Forgive my finger hairs (I swear I didn’t know they existed until I took the zoomed in pics...:P2) and also my huge squishy size 8 fingers! My fingers have always been this chubby since I was born, and I envy people with slender piano hands...

Enough talk!
Here are pictures of my ring from various distances in various lighting taken with my iPhone XS

Congratulations!

I love heart-shaped diamonds! Can you tell us some stats about your stone? It's a beauty!

Thank you so much!
I believe the stone is a 1.51 ct I color SI2, but it’s incredibly clear and sparkly! I’ve tried really hard to try and find the inclusions that were marked on the GIA appraisal, but I haven’t been able to find them yet. (Then again, I couldn’t even really see my knuckle hairs with my bare eyes so...)
The appraisal says that the table is 62% and depth is 59% also.
 
It’s absolutely beautiful! Congratulations!
 
So beautiful and romantic! I just love the stone and the setting - congratulations and enjoy your beautiful ring!!
 
It’s lovely, such a romantic shape, congratulations!
 
Congratulations on your engagement, fellow heart diamond e-ring owner! It's beautiful and you must be over the moon!
 
Congratulations!
You have a beautiful heart shaped diamond. It looks perfect on your lovely hand.

Wishing you a lifetime of happiness.
 
It's beautiful!! I love heart shaped diamonds as well. Congratulations on your engagement!
 
Congratulations on your engagement!
I love heart shaped diamonds too and think your ring is gorgeous! :love: The heart shape looks very well defined and the setting perfectly compliments/shows it off.
I think it suits your hand and looks awesome! (People tend to apologize for a bigger ring or hand size, etc. which I think is unnecessary - we are who we are!)
Thanks for posting your sweet engagement story and pictures of your beautiful ring! =)2
 
Love your ❤️!!!!
You said you always wanted a heart; did you choose it or did he?
I think it looks perfect on you.
 
Congratulations and WOW. :love:
It’s very beautiful and you don’t often see heart shaped diamonds!
 
It’s absolutely beautiful! Congratulations!

Yes, I feel the same way! Thank you so much! I was pleasantly surprised by the setting choice. :)

It’s lovely, such a romantic shape, congratulations!
Thank you! We are a pretty romantic couple, so I think it’s fitting!

Congratulations on your engagement, fellow heart diamond e-ring owner! It's beautiful and you must be over the moon!
Thank you so much! Aren’t heart diamonds just amazing? I’m beyond thrilled with the ring and my new fiancé! Haha

Congratulations!

Thank you so much for the lovely comment. The posters on here are just all so wonderful! I even feel a bit better about my baby hands now. :)

Thank you! I’m so glad that there are so many people here who love the shape. I think it’s an acquired taste of sorts!

Wow you are wonderful and so right! We don’t get to control how our hands look, after all. ;)2 Thank you so much for reading my long post and commenting!

Love your ❤️!!!!
You said you always wanted a heart; did you choose it or did he?
I think it looks perfect on you.
Thank you so much! He knew that I liked heart shaped stones (he caught me looking longingly at a heart cut peach sapphire), and he chose it. We have been together for 4.5 years and live together, so he knows me pretty well I’d say. I was just delighted when he opened the box!

Gorgeous! :love:
Thank you, lovely!

A rare heart engagement ring. Beautiful and congrats!
Thank you very much! :kiss2:
 
Aww congrats! Love your heart ring.:kiss2:

Wow that is such an incredible compliment! My fiancé told me himself that he thought the shape was “fantastic,” and (at the risk of sounding boastful) I have to agree!

Congratulations. Your ring is beautiful

Thank you so very much!! Yes, I actually have been slowly learning about diamonds, but he said that he was very picky about being able to see “wisps” or “dark spots” in the stone. He also said that the table had to be just the perfect size which I don’t know much about, but it has beautiful rainbow sparkles nearly all of the time! Thank you again for your wonderful comment. :)
