Hello world! I''ve been quietly admiring many of your rings from afar for about a year now, building my collection of dream rings. Then in late December my now FI totally surprised me with a ring that was more beautiful and more me than anything I could have thought up myself. He had me totally convinced that we were nowhere close to getting engaged (though we both knew it was coming eventually) so despite his ridiculously romantic plans and the whole set-up I didn''t see it coming at all.


He had the ring designed in Hong Kong (when he was there for work for 3 days) and purchased the stone there too. The ring design is based off of the Cartier 1895 soliatire, but with 3-sided pave (drool). We''re trying to have the same jeweler design both of our bands.


What I know about the ring... set in platinum, center stone is 1.22 H VS1. I forget what the ct weight of the pave stones are but I know they are all F-G color.


I know I''m 987.56% biased but I think he did an incredible job! Here are some photos I took a couple of days after the proposal.

Oops I don''t know if I''m supposed to say replica or knock-off or whatever instead of remake. If I was, can someone tell me how to change it?
 
Absolutely beautiful...he did an amazing job! Gorgeous diamond and I love the band

Congratulations on your engagement. O wow!! That ring is beautiful! I didn''t know they make such nice rings in HK.
Don''t worry about the typo. I''ve made so many errors typing messages in this forum and still have no idea how to correct them. But I don''t think anyone cares.
 
Holy smokes! It''s beautiful! Best Wishes!
 
Congrats on your engagement! It is a beautiful ring. He did a *very* good job!

Thanks, ladies!

He actually didn''t plan from the get-go to get the ring done in HK. He had contacted places in the US but a diamond savvy colleague set him up to meet with a jeweler in HK just to see what he had while he was there for work. He ended up liking the HK jeweler a lot and got a much better quote from him for the setting compared to what people were asking in the US.

If you''d like to know the name of the jeweler I''m happy to get it for you! My FI basically did everything with him over email after that first meeting.
 
Beautiful! I love the profile shot and how it sits low :) Congrats!
