I meant to make this earlier but completely forgot with it being finals week and what not.

I'm actually the fiancee, and I've taken over the account now. C:

For those that want a little background, Mr. Crybaby came into the forums requesting some help picking out a diamond and setting for his proposal. A lot of people came to his call for aid, and the result was a stunningly beautiful engagement ring that not left my finger since the day it returned from JA (which is a story of its own).

The proposal itself was so sweet and romantic.

I actually drove into New Orleans to see him for the weekend (we're in a short distance relationship while he is in professional school), and he surprised me with Thai for lunch. After that, he took me to a fancy dessert bar downtown where we had affogato for the first time! When we finished and came home, he proposed in the privacy of his apartment. It was perfect for us because he's a private person in general and I cry a lot. I think I cried for a whole 30 minutes and he was really concerned that I was upset. (I wasn't!) Afterwards, we went and got bubble tea. He understands my love of things both shiny and sweet because he's so sweet and gave me something super shiny.

The specs:

1.53ct L VVS1 Excellent cut Round Brilliant set in 14k Rose Gold
My ring size is a 5.5

It's so, so, so, so, so beautiful. I catch myself staring at it all the time while driving. And, I've received so many compliments from strangers and friends.

Thank you PSers for helping Mr. Crybaby find the most perfect ring for me.

I'll be sure to include some more, better photos tomorrow after I get some sunlight! And a video!

Congratulations on your engagement!The ring is gorgeous and it looks lovely on you. I especially LOVE the setting. It's very similar to mine and I'm wondering how I missed it when I was on my own search. I'm curious--where did Mr. Crybaby find it?
 
Wow! What a perfect diamond & such a classic setting--congrats on your engagement! :appl:
 
Thank you so much everyone! I love it so much.

And, I meant to take some sunshine pictures but we had rain instead so no new photos. :( Hopefully tomorrow will be better, it's showing a much lower change of rain.

@natasha-cupcake he said it's the petite flower solitaire setting from James Allen. While I love the design, I don't think I would ever let him order another setting from James Allen ever again. We had a lot of problems where prongs were misaligned and misshapen, and so we needed to get it remade. I would probably just take the design to your local jeweler and have them make it for you.
 
:clap:
Best Wishes to the future Mrs. crybaby. As many have said the ring looks -lovely- on your hand: so classic, so in proportion, so sparkly!

Oh yeah, now I recognize it. I considered the petite flower but I wanted a shank that was over 2mm. I'm sorry you had issues with it. But happily, all that's in the past and now you have a gorgeous ring to enjoy. It looks amazing on you!
 
Really beautiful Ms. Crybaby! Sounds like the perfect proposal day too!
