#TBT Thanks PS! Ering photos!

[diamondlove]

HI Everyone,

He proposed last night!! He completely took me by surprise and it was romantic and perfect. I''ll leave out the details bc this IS the ''Show Me the Ring'' forum so I''ll get to the topic at hand.

I just wanted to thank everyone on this helpful forum bc my now fiance'' learned all the nitty gritty that he needed by reading this forum and a few vendor sites. I also want to thank Matatora for all of her lovely photos of the Locke''s Signature Setting bc that''s what he got me and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. The setting is unbelievable in real life and more delicate than it appears in the photos. It has everything I wanted in a setting-- simple, classic but unique AND tiny little prong heads that are barely visible and has a terrific profile view with the curved prongs.
