The Final Princess - Thank you PSers for all your help!

[Valjean]

I finally pulled the trigger and purchased an ER ring from WhiteFlash! WF customer service is excellent from start to completion and they delivered their promises beyond expectation. They make sure that you are comfortable with the whole buying experience as this was my first time purchasing anything this expensive online. This was indeed an overwhelming but great experience. I learned a lot about diamonds these past couple months.

Special thanks to Jstarfireb, Yssie, D&T, Tyty333, Shihtzulover, EB, Marymm (sorry if missed anyone!) who educated me on making the right choice. Also thank you LAlove who help me pic an awesome box for it!

I haven't proposed yet but will do so next week! Wish me luck!

Yes will definitely post handshots! Shopping around I think I got a pretty good price for the diamond or even the whole set. I'm glad I took this route!

Valjean I think I missed the resolution of the ring box thread - but I'm guessing it's from GreekArt on Etsy? And is it a ring-box with cushion, or a box for a ring box?

It's so pretty - I want one!

 

[AprilBaby]

Gorgeous! Good luck on the proposal!

 

[jstarfireb]

Love it! Looks way bigger than 0.85 too. Thanks for the pics...would love to see handshots when it's on her finger!

Thanks all!

Yes it is from Etsy. It is just a plain ring box made of plywood that has been burn-etched. I will have to custom make the pillow to fit in it. It cost $7CAD with shipping.

Hey Valjean,
I would make 2 seperate pillows that meet in the middle. (Know anybody that sews?) Then stick the shank down where the
two pillows come together. Make sure the pillows are a tight fit.

Good luck,
tyty
