A Sweet Adventure: The Bling!
[NOTICE: SINCE APRIL AND GINET ARE BOTH GETTING MARRIED NEXT YEAR, THEIR AVAILABILITY IS LIMITED! PLEASE CONTACT THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO BOOK YOUR SPECIAL DAY AND/OR PLACE ORDERS ON INVITATIONS AND OTHER EVENT STATIONERY. THANK YOU!]
My sister basically designed my engagement ring. I knew Justin was going to propose soon (he had our five-year anniversary as his deadline hee hee), but I had no idea he would do it as soon as he ended up asking me. I think in December, I showed my sister Marj and Justin a picture of a setting I really liked and told them I wanted either a radiant or cushion-cut diamond. Unbeknownst to me, they had gone shopping while I was at The Special Event conference in New Orleans. They went to Diamond Connection in Old Town, then went to another place, then went back to Diamond Connection because they loved their service. They ended up getting a custom-designed ring based on the picture I gave them and Marj’s detailed specifications. The main bling is a 1.5-carat cushion-cut diamond and the diamonds all around the white gold setting equal half a carat, so 2 carats total. Again being sneaky, they went back a week or two later to approve the wax mold and voila! The ring after he proposed:
Side view (you can see the diamonds on the sides):
When Diamond Connection found out I said yes, they sent over this (my first name is actually “Marie Eugenie” for those of you who didn’t know):
We opened the bottle and I took a sip then Justin finished the rest (yes, the whole bottle by himself!) Wonderful customer service at Diamond Connection even after the purchase was made! Haha. We went to the store for a cleaning and to thank them for the gift. Ariel, who helped Marj and Justin wasn’t there but hopefully I’ll get to meet him the next time we visit!
Did anyone else have a wonderful ring shopping experience like Marj and Justin? Does anyone else feel naked without their ring??
