Pictures of my cushion e-ring from ERD!

[cincin090]

I have to thank everyone on this forum for educating me about diamonds and I''m so glad I was able to find this forum in the first place! Otherwise I would have gone with a B&M store and gotten a much lesser stone for a bigger price! So thanks everyone!

First off, I got my ring from ERD and Mark T. was great to work with. He pretty much found exactly what I was looking for without going over my budget and he''s a genuinely nice guy! However, he is really busy and I realize he couldn''t always be there to hold my hand. But from what I''ve read from previous postings about ERD was that he was always on top of things and returned calls and emails really fast...but I think their business has just gotten to busy so don''t be expecting that. But generally this was a great transaction and I mean we were nervous about buy this online (I''m in Texas), but I knew we could trust him since I''ve heard so many great things about him on this website, so thanks!

[aggiebling09]

congrats from a fellow texan

I can definitely relate to being nervous about buying online...but we always have whiteflash lol

 

[cincin090]

Thanks everyone for the kind words!

Aggiebling09: I''ll be moving to Houston next year so I''ll definitely have Whiteflash right there! I''m so excited!

It''s perfectly gorgeous, from stone to setting! Congratulations on a great job!

 

[bella_91]

Oh man! You just made my day! Seriously!

It''s GORGEOUS!

I am playing the waiting game with my bf. We picked out the stone together and he picked out a pave setting for me...I haven''t seen it and won''t until he proposes which will likely be this month...I can''t wait!

Our stone is a 1.51 rectangular cushion, H VS1.

Seeing yours looking so beautiful gives me hope that mine will turn out well too. It''s been so long since we picked it out that I can''t even remember what it looks like anymore...ugh!

I don''t really know how to use the spiffy emoticons yet, but if I did, I''d be using the one that runs around flailing and screaming, "WOOOOHOOOOO!" That is such a splendid cushion in a glorious setting. What a beautiful ring

! Congratulations are in order!

 

[Tuckins1]

Cincin090, OMG your ring is sooo gorgeous!

 

[MoonWater]

I would love to have a cushion one day. So gorgeous!

 

[CDNinNYC]

The cushion and setting are beautiful! (I might be a bit biased as it''s similar to what I''m getting.

) Congratulations and wear it in good health!!!

 

[Skippy123]

Wow, what a gorgeous ring, congrats!!!

 

[CrownJewel]

Wwo! Haha...I''m so excited about your ring that I mis-typed "Wow!" and then I left it misspelled as evidence of how dizzy your ring has made me.

That diamond looks seriously HUGE. I need to either get a cushion or a new setting b/c my 1.53 carat radiant looks about half the size of yours. Major diamond envy here! I''m loving all these cushions!!!

Congrats on your new sparkly. Enjoy it and post more pictures!
