It's a yellow sphene set by Daniel M on etsy, I can't wear it often, or if I'm doing ANYTHING with my hands, since sphene is so soft, but I love it. It throws off giant sparks of red and green in the sun.
And I love the idea of secret stones on the inside of bands. I'm sure it'll turn out beautifully!
Thanks!! We hadn't talked too much about the engraving, other than that we want to. I'll bring it up and see what he thinks. Part of me would LOVE the surprise, but I think it would make him really anxious so we'll probably end up choosing together. There are a few things we always say to each other where one says something and the other repeats back their part. So we may do one of our little sayings so that they go together to be the whole thing.Phdecorate|1334337027|3170240 said:Love the ruby idea and so excited for you! Can't wait to see the finished product. Is your message engraving going to be a surprise for each other or will you put the same thing in both? Have you decided?
I have ABSOLUTELY NO idea. I can only hope that once it gets here that the ring burns a hole in his pocket and he'll plan on doing it sooner than later! We can always have a longer engagementPhdecorate|1336483180|3190023 said:OMG!! Yay! How are you going to stand the wait until you can wear it on your finger??????

ETA: At this point I'm more worried about loving the finished product than when I'll get to wear it. I LOVE our stone. I LOVE the setting. I can just only hope that I love them together. I'm sooo nervous. I'm going to just feel an awful let down if it's not love when we open the box.
Definitely. I HAVE to see it. I'll be a wreck if I don't. We agreed we'd open it together and keep it out of hiding for a few days. And then away it goes until he decides to pull it out and do his thing. Probably better that way. I told him we should have a try on every month though just to make sure it still fits (we're both losing weight). I'd hate to get it and have to send it away for resizing right away!Phdecorate|1336483973|3190039 said:It would be so exciting to get engaged sooner rather than later....
I am sure you will LOVE it!! Is he at least going to let you see it before he locks it away??

I thought sostar sparkle|1336494688|3190139 said:Haha, great idea!! About a month ago I managed to get FF to pull my out so I could see it again after like 4 months of not seeing it, which was awesome but made me even more wistful.
I'm so excited for you to get yours! Take lots of pictures to share with us and also to tide you over during the intervening months. There are still days where I just sit and stare at the pictures of my ring since I don't actually have it on my finger yet, and that helps.

Andrew didn't even think it mattered to hide it. But I told him I wanted him too. Otherwise I'll be looking at it all.the.time and trying it on. Besides, if I know where it's 'hidden' (or not), I'll also know when it's gone missing and could ruin the surprise! I'll be taking photos for sure. I haven't decided whether or not I'll be posting them on PS. I'll probably do a few teasers at least. I'd just hate to go picture crazy and then lose the rush of wanting to share WHEN it actually happens. Everyone will be over it by then!
Haha, true. I'm probably over thinking it. I just want to elicit as excited a response when I actually get to wear is and be ENGAGED as it will when it arrives next week. If that makes any sense.star sparkle|1336509910|3190389 said:Girl, this is PS we're talking about here - NOBODY will EVER be "over" new pictures of gorgeous bling. I've posted tons of mine, and I still can't wait to take more pictures once I get the ring to share with everyone!

Exactly. I'm glad it makes sense to someone at least! You ladies have been super supportive so I will definitely be posting at least a teaser shot for you all! But I think I'll withhold going all out crazy until I can create an official, holy sh!t I'm ENGAGED and here are all of my HANDSHOTS!!! thread.nicstx|1336583523|3191155 said:I completely understand. I'm only going to post pictures for you ladies to see - just of the diamond alone and sitting on the setting. I know that I put so much into picking it out, but like Aud I feel like the fun will be gone if I do a photoshoot before it's "mine."
yes?

I have a friend who has the trio set of lenses. He really likes them!
