Once I found the right diamond from Eternity diamonds, I wasn't exactly sure what setting to go with. I ended up going with what I thought she would like... a very classic, simple and elegant design with a lower setting, the Stuller Solstice Solitaire 6 prong. After going back to my local jeweler a couple of times to adjust the setting height and slim the prongs, it turned out perfect!

Now that I had the perfect girl and the perfect ring, I needed to work on the engagement setting. I decided on a spot near the river. I wanted to capture her reaction, so I hired our mutual friend who is a photographer -- we found a great spot where he could hide out while I popped the question. The pictures speak for themselves... she was shocked and it was perfect.

More hand and profile shots to come once I get them back, but much credit to Kingston Ko Photography. He really captured something that we will always remember!
