I recently got engaged with this beautiful ring by Memoire. I haven't seen many of their rings on this site so hopefully this will be a good example of their work.
Unfortunately most of the stats are with my FI who lives across the country from me so I'll just post what I know so far. I'll be out visiting him in a couple of weeks and will post more info when I see the paperwork.
So here's what I do know: It's a Memoire ring from their petite prong collection and it was purchased at the Costa Mesa Bailey Banks and Biddle (FI said the SA he worked with was outstanding). The center stone is AGS 0 Ideal cut (FI chose that all on his own -- he has no idea about my Pricescope obsession!), 2.42 carats. It's an eternity band except for a sizing band that's the width of one side stone. Hmmm, what else... My ring size is 5.25 and this ring normally comes with a 6-prong head but FI had it custom made with 4 prongs.
I hope you all like it! I love it! (Insert obligatory the-pictures-don't-do-it-justice comment here.)

The stone sits up pretty high and the prong stems are wide but they seem to match the heft of the stone well.

O-mi-gosh!! That is just gorgeous! So BIG! and AGS0, your FI did so well... The Memoire is a wonderful quality setting... we need more pics and more details though!

Congrats!
 
I haven''t been able to get a good straight-on shot from the top yet but trust me, I''ll keep trying.

This is a pretty angle, too, though. I also need to get out in the sunshine and see what I come up with outside.

Thanks angeline! I''ll post more pics tomorrow after I format more pictures for uploading. I wish I could see more of the stats too but for now it''s nice to be naive.

I''m afraid once I know the inclusion plot I''ll be searching for them but right now it looks like a D IF to me!

Thanks for the compliments, everyone! I would''ve been excited about a cracker jack ring if it meant I were engaged, but I''m pretty happy with this one.

With my future last initial!
When I was born, my aunt monogrammed a baby pillow for me and one for my older sister. She accidentally switched our middle names, oops! I always loved the pillow though because it was all embroidered by hand. It just so happens that the incorrect monogram makes up my future married initials! I thought that was so fun. So this is my incorrect middle name, but future last name initial.

I just noticed you can sort of see some arrows in this pic!
