Thanks!
As you can see from the pictures its a tad too big, so they are going to order the exact size and have it shipped in for us. The gentleman who helped me told me they prefer not to size the ring as they manufacture this line in house (Na Hoku), and because the ring has a partial satin finish which could be more difficult to perfect. They are going to just ship in the exact size for us.
Now comes the fun part of picking her setting and diamond!

Congrats on your engagement! That topaz is so gorgeous, and I love that you all are picking out the actual e-ring together. Heck, I would probably want that gorgeous topaz as my e-ring, but the more sparklies, the merrier! Seriously, you did a great job picking out that gorgeous ring, and the thought you''ve put into this makes it even more meaningful.

**UPDATE**
So we went back to the store today to have her sized and get the correct size ring in. (Apparently she wasnt even the size 6 I thought she was, but a size 5
)
I figured today would be a great day to go view setting for her "official" diamond ering, now that I had proposed with the Topaz ring.
We took a look at all of the great rings they had at the NaHoku store while they were doing the paperwork to get a size 5 shipped in for her. I pointed out one in particular that I thought was beautiful, and that I actually considered buying for her, but ended up not doing it and getting the topaz temporary instead.( Because I wasn''t sure how she would feel about having an ering with a non-diamond center stone. I didnt tell her this though until later)
After that we decided to start our search at the mall stores to see what types of setting she would think looked best for her. We searched about 5 different shops and came upon one that had a very good selection that was within our budget so we sat down and started going at it. I, with the salesman occasionally jumping in to add something, was pointing out the differences in the styles and the intriquite details she may have otherwise looked over. (Studying up really DOES help
)
She tried on quite a few- halo''s, split shanks, antique, pave, etc, etc. and found a setting that she really liked and we decided to grab a bite to eat and take some time to think about it.
Of course after we left she confessed to me that she really loved "that one ring" that I had pointed out in passing in the NaHoku store (the one mentioned above) and said that she REALLY loved that ring. This is when I told her how I thought it was amazing and I had wanted to present it to her originally as her ering, but didnt know how she would feel about the non-diamond center, and I didnt want to give her something she wouldnt adore.
She told me that she thought it was perfect, and that she liked the fact that it was different and unique. I said to her "If you want a traditional diamond ring, thats great. And if you want this ring thats great too. All you have to do is tell me that you love it and that its the one, and it is yours"
She said "its the one!" and started saying "omg! omg! I''m getting my ring!" LOL, It was awesome
After hearing that, I told her how that was the ring I had initially felt was the one, but didnt pull the trigger on for the above reasons. She said knowing that made it even more special since she actually picked that one for herself... ( I think thats a good sign, no?
)
So to make a long story short, she is now getting this beautiful ring as her official Ering! We are both totally exited and happy!
This is the only unfortunate part: pics will have to wait until the end of January when the ring will be ready

Heres a photo of the ering that I was sent after requesting one from NaHoku (they are very accommodating!)
It really doesnt do the ring ANY justice
, it really looks kinda lifeless in this pic. But at least you can get a taste of what it will look like.
Thanks to all of you for your congratulations and well wishes! After we pick up the ring in late January, I''ll post a new thread with the whole proposal story, new ring pics and handshots, etc.
