Thank you!!!! I love it!
I am a 4 3/4. I got it a tad too big to allow for hot days but we''ve had them and I still need it more snug so back it will go to tighten it up.

That is one of my favorite solitaire settings, and it is a fitting home for your gorgeous diamond.

You almost titled your ENGAGEMENT announcement after me?!?! LOL!! That's hilarious!!!! (Even if it is only a joke!

) HAHAHA, oh my gosh, I literally don't have the words to say exactly how perfect and beautiful and gorgeous and exquisite and elegant and fluid and graceful and magnificent your ring is! The stone (which I may have woefully neglected in my other posts) is absolutely incredible, and the proportions are (sorry to use this word again) perfect! The stone to the setting, the ring to your finger--all of it is perfect!!! I gasped out loud every time I scrolled to a new picture!! I LOOOOOOOOVE it!!!

Don't thank me. Thank YOU (and your future hubby

) for having both excellent taste and a good camera! Keep on taking photos of that beauty, darlin'! We can't have enough!

Haha yes, one of the first thoughts that came into my mind as I was driving to work that morning was

1) oh crap, I better not even GO on PS until I have pics to post (which I was unable to take until Sunday due to out of town guests and other pre existing plans)

2) OOOH Gwen is going to love this. She''s been waiting.

Yes the FI did a fantastic job of listening to what I liked and understanding the importance of going with Mark Morrell and researching stones through our wonderful PS! The fluidity of the platinum is gorgeous and I think the stone we got was so much more for our money! Knowledge really is power!

Sooooo beautiful!!! I love it!

(I would not have it sized until you are wearing a wedding band with it. It will be more snug once you are wearing another ring next to it. Do something temporary for now. I think some girls have gotten some kind of plastic thing from Claires just to help temporarily.)

Thankyou!

Oh I did not even think of that!!! Well here''s my issue with the sizing if I can bounce this off you...
When I first tried on sizers I sort of "went big" in anticipation that my fingers may swell with heat here and there.
So even though the 43/4 felt ok I asked Mark to make it somewhere between that and a 5.

Today I tried on a sizers at a jewers (which Mark asked us to do) and I could fit a 41/2 on nicely. definitley could not go smaller than that but since their sizer was metal it went on much easier than the plastic things Mark sends.
But you make a very good point about the tightness with the band...Hmm...maybe 43/4 will do it?
Right now seriously I could almost fling the ring off my finger! It''s really way to big. Wearable but too big.

Thanks!

Wow Wishful that is so beautiful- I think my eyes just popped out of my head! It''s so fluidy and the proportions look perfect - and congrats on the engagement too!

 

[jcrow]

stunning! stunning! stunning! stuNNING!!

 

[wishful]

Vespergirl, Jetmal, Bee*, BEG, JCrow - Thankyou all so much. I agree, the fluidity and liquid-like quality of the platinum is so great. Mark Morrell is the master. I feel so lucky to have one of his peices!
I''ve been procrastinating on sending it back to get resized. I just love wearing it so much I don''t want to part with it but it''s sliding around so much I certainly don''t want to loose it.

Thanks again for the compliments.

 

[Ellen]

I don't know how I missed this, but my goodness, that ring is just swoonable. Really!
