She said Yes!!!

So I''ve been lurking her for a long time, looking for suggestions and ideas on the perfect ring. I know what she liked, but wanted to make it personal and unique. I think I achieved it. See the attached the pics. We are both from North Carolina, but now live in Los Angeles, so I had a "Tarheel" engraved on the side of the ring. But instead of Tar in the heel of the footprint, I had a diamond set in the heel. She loves it and it''s not noticeable in normal view. It''s our little secret. The wedding band will set next to it and hide it from view. Otherwise its is a platinum pave band with a rosebud setting.
