Thanks everyone, you guys can really tell it''s a nice diamond from the pics? It''s reassuring.

I went for the H&A b/c CUT is the most important right? You can see all the stats on the diamond in my thread in the Rockytalk section.

I was going to get the PAVE ring to add some bling but my underground secret intelligence told me she preferred the classic simple ring

I have the right ring size too

I have laid the groundwork so she thinks I''m a cheapo and might not even get a diamond ring... on V day?! are you crazy? These things take time!

The GIA says ''excellent'' for cut. There is nothing that says ''H&A''... is that just something you see and not written down?

I''ll get a hand shot but I''m never telling her about this place- that would qualify me as the dumbest man of 2008.

I love this comment. You are correct. You don''t want to be buying an upgrade before the wedding!!

That is a beautiful ring. A one carat classic solitaire. Perfection!!!

Best of luck on the proposal.

I saw the first shots, but never came back for the rest! I love the "manly" shots, too funny!

 

[Gemini85]

Very nice diamond and pictures. How did you get those awesome shots? She is going to love it!

 

[babysteps]

What a beautiful ring - great job! I think that stone is amazingly white, would not have guessed a ''J'' in a billion - it''s such a great cut - she will love it! Great manly-man shots - great shots, period! What kind of camera is that, dude?

 

[aggieliz]

gorgeous! i just got engaged myself and have a very similar ring. needless to say -- i love it!

 

[that_someone_special]

I LOVE that last picture. The contrast between something rough and dirty with something absolutely beautiful, clean, and BRIGHT! She will love it! I am so jealous

 

[Imdanny]
