Just picked it up.

[Schell]

I posted in Rocky Talky a few days ago looking for advice on a stone that I bought for a custom made e-ring. I bought the stone before finding PS and admittedly a bit impulsively. The vendor is a referral from a friend of mine and I knew he did good work. I just didn''t expect it to be this good. I got a great deal on the setting, which is a spin-off of the HOF truly bridal leaf solitaire - except the stones go all the way around the band. I picked it up today and I was pleasantly surprised with how everything turned out (especially the stone).

I''m popping the question on July 4th (our 6 year anniversary, not because of the holiday). Anyway, let me know what you all think.

Thanks for the kind words. Funny how you start to second guess yourself after it too late. Like, is that really her size? (even though she''s explicitly told me dozens of times).

I wish I could have taken some better shots, I couldn''t get my SLR lens close enough to the ring without blocking out all the usable light. I has to use my point and shoot.
