My will-you-marry-me ring

[Blue Eyes]

On bended knee in a crowded Chicago health club ... while I was training a client no less.. he asked. I said yes. The client and several shocked bystanders realized what the shrieking (mine, not his) was all about. Applause began. Client jumped off the treadmill with glee having figured out that his session was over for day.

Here it is:

It's beautiful! Of course, I probably like it because I think it resembles mine:

 

[Blue Eyes]

Beautiful!

Congratulations, Blue Eyes! (Or, as the Etiquette Police want me to say, Best wishes for your future happiness.)

Can you explain that hilariously disgruntled cat?

 

[Blue Eyes]

Scooter the cat's headgear is the product of:

1) nothing to do
2) a sharp knife
3) a large lime
4) a patient cat
5) too much tequila
6) and football season

I love the cat! Neither of my cats would ever let me do that!


Congratulations on your engagement! It's a lovely ring. It also reminds me of the ring on Jennifer's avatar. What I think is so unique about your ring, however, is that it incorporates so many different kinds of cuts. I can't make out all the different cuts on the picture though.


Congrats!

Very cute story, and lovely ring. Much happiness to you both.

Oops! Sorry, the ring is gorgeous!

 

[Blue Eyes]

Jinkies ! I can't seem to get a photo that shows the delineation between the marquise and baguettes. I will keep working on it !

 

[Blue Eyes]

There are 3 marquise stones on either side of the center separated by alternating baguettes set north/south.

 

[Patty]

Ahhhh, okay, and now I see where the rounds are. I take it back...It looks nothing like my ring, lol. It's beautiful!

Do I know you from another forum? I've seen your kitty pic posted before--it's so cute, and I don't think I could forget it!

 

[valeria101]

Hm.. J.B. Star ?

It surely looks like one

 

[diamondlil]

Hi Blue Eyes. Awsome ring! It does look like a JBStar, one of my favorite designers. I am having a custom ring made for me right now with burnished rounds in the front and back of my ring just like that! Can you take a side shot so we can see it better?




Congratulations on your engagement!

P.S. Cute kitty! (LMAO

)

 

[wallace]

Congratulations on your Engagement!
Beautiful ring - your FI put a lot of thought in to that and it shows! The creativity is evident in the masterpiece on the cat.
Now that is a marvel! I think it is one of the funniest pictures I have ever seen!

Best wishes.

We'll get back to the photos of stones in a second after I share a pic of Alex the cat in a photo that gets yucks out of me each time I look at it.

Alex's issue came about after another cat in the household bit him on the rump. Because Alex's fur is so long, we did not detect the wound until it had become wildly infected.

After surgery and $100's in vet bills, he came home to recuperate sporting the lamp shade which, within hours, he was able to remove. He recovered fully. He has since submitted several requests for enrollment in a tae kwon do class to learn to successfully defend himself. We've taken it under advisement.

I am laughing my you-know-what off over here...those pictures of your cat CRACK ME UP!!! I am allergic to cats, and I DO like them...but I can't have them. Of course everyone on my Dads side of the family are huge cat lovers. I should send them these pics!! HAHAHAAHA!

 

[redsiren]
