We've officially started...

...with the ring!

Center stone is on its way. Currently sourcing the half moon side stones (for some reason I can get them for less than my jeweler). My jeweler requires 50% payment to start the CAD process, and my goal is to have that be done by Valentine's Day.

My boyfriend asked me what I would do with all of my time once I have the ring.

Duh, plan a wedding!

What shape stone - and are you doing a local jeweler or someone online? Just curious as we are getting to that stage ourselves....

Round center with half moons on each side. I priced it with both a local jeweler, an online one recommended here on PS, and one of those big national chains. The online store was cheaper and the big chain was more expensive. The local jeweler is right in the middle, but they are awesome and it just seems like it will be easier to work with a company here in town (not to mention they are right across the street from my office).

I did find that everyone's bids on the half moons were pretty high and I am able to get them cheaper myself.

Exciting! Can't wait to see it when it's all finished.
