dave545 15 Posted January 21, 2012 thank all of you, details of the ring its a .9 round brilliant, very good cut, color G, SI1 clarity 18k white gold band with 1.42 karats in baggets so total weight of 2.32k. I brought her to the beach where we went for our first date. I gave her a promise ring there a year into our relationship as well. She was saying earlier in the day how she liked the promise ring but the diamonds were a little small and wanted a big one.. get it " hint hint wink wink kind of thing.." (little did she know that i had bought her ring earlier in the day) When we were at the beach she was looking at her ring and i said to her "those diamonds a little small?". She responded "no they are perfect for this ring." I said " hey i have a question is this one better" and i slipped the ring on her finger while i was standing behind her since she was already holding her hand out to look at the ring i had given her. she immediately started to cry and i then asked her to marry me. so it was a good night 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had to get a tissue, since I'm a big Mush for this kind of stuff! This is the type of thing that I like to "re-create" in something that's known as an "Engagement Love Story", which is a story in pictures. PM me if you're interested so I can fill-in the details. Beach portraits are a specialty! Congrats again! Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duppie 73 Posted January 22, 2012 Congratulations, I'm on my second and live by a very simple ethic. "In a marriage you can choose to be right or to be happy, but very rarely both." I'm a very happy man because according to my wife,I've never been right yet.............. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dave545 15 Posted January 31, 2012 Nicely done. Definitely go for Color over clarity well you cant tell the difference between si1 and a flawless with the naked eye you need a magnifier to see any imperfections so both color and clarity are very good Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
