Hello ladies!

I''ve been lurking around for the past couple weeks and thought it was time to introduce myself.

Recently my BF of 3 years gave me the go-ahead to start looking at rings--woohoo!!

He wants the actual proposal to be a surprise, but he''s letting me pick out exactly what I want since he knows I''m picky about the jewelry I wear LOL. And also, he knows nothing about diamonds (don''t worry, I''ll educate him prior to actual shopping!) and avoids jewelry stores at all costs, so he would be happy just to buy what I want and not have to worry about getting something I don''t like. Which works out well for me! He''s started saving, but it''ll still be awhile before he''s got enough for what he wants to spend on a ring for me. He did give me a bit of a timeline; I can be expecting a proposal next spring/early summer. I can''t wait! Until then, I plan on doing A LOT more diamond research and price comparisons. I''ve got the basics down but after my PS-lurking I find myself picking up more and more good info.

I already have a pretty good idea of what I want...I''m thinking asscher or EC (what can I say, I LOVE step cuts) set in platinum, either with tapered baguettes or just a solitaire. Anyways, sorry for the novel.

Also, just wanted to say that I think it''s really great how supportive everyone on this forum is, it''s cool that there are so many nice people to chat about diamonds/rings/being a LIW with!
 
Hi and welcome!

Head over to RockyTalk when you''ve got some stones you''re seriously considering to have the experts judge them to make sure you''re getting the best for your money. If you go with an asscher (and I LOVE asschers!), strmdr is your man. He''s our asscher expert around here and will make sure you get an amazing one.

Gwendolyn - Thanks for the welcome and the tips, I''ll definitely keep that in mind once I start seriously looking for a stone.

On another, completely random note, I think I saw you on the thread about nutella cake (was that you?)? If you end up finding a recipe, please let me know because that sounds DELICIOUS

. Yum.
 
Hahah, I requested a Nutella Cake, but our resident chef extraordinairre is FrekeChild. Freke''s been coming up with her own recipe to make one. She''s tried a few that she was less than pleased with, but I am sure eventually she will come up with a masterpiece. She''s fabulous like that.
