diamond news and views
Katie, I just picked up my ring, and will stop staring at it just long enough to tell you how beautiful it looks. Just perfect, it is even nicer than the pictures I got last night. My diamond looks terrific in this setting, so much whiter and brighter than before, and it sits low enough […]
0 Comment » Hi James,
Yes we are engaged now! We actually didn’t get the ring back from my sister until last weekend. When I came home on Monday, there was a sign on the door that said “Getting engaged is easy: Step 1- find the guy, Step 2- find the ring.” I went in and Armand was standing […]

Sheerah, My engagement ring is astoundingly beautiful -– the emerald cut diamond is gorgeous — we especially love the design! A very simple ‘east-west’ ring setting — a symbolic representation and a continuous reminder of the endless (as far as the east is from the west) love poured out by God for us, to us […]

Sheerah,
Everything went as well as I could have hoped. My main goal was to keep it a surprise, so I was able to do that and everything else fell in line. She definately loved the ring and she will probably end up keeping it as is, now that she is attached to it. I’m not […]
