Ring Description

The center stone is a 1.07ct princess cut diamond that is set in such a way that it appears to be floating, which optimizes light reflection. The band itself, which I custom designed, has 100 pave set diamonds totaling 1.5cts. The top of the band has 3 rows of pave set diamonds (the middle row is princess cut, slightly bigger and higher than the two surrounding round diamond rows). The sides of the band also have round pave set diamonds, as well as a suprise diamond on each side. The prongs are also covered in tiny diamonds. The total carat weight of my engagement ring is approximately 2.57cts. This ring is an upgrade from the original proposal ring (same center stone, different setting). The last picture here is the original ring in which the center stone was placed on a diagonal "compass" setting.

The proposal

The day before my 24th birthday my boyfriend suprised me with my present of going skydiving together (a first for both of us)! We flew up together, but he jumped and landed first. Just as I was coming in for my landing I read the huge sign he had laid out on the ground that read "Rachel, will you marry me?" Of course I said yes, and to my suprise our families were there too (they had been hiding in the bushes). We popped open a bottle of champagne and took in the moment. Before I knew it we were whisked away in a limosine to spend our special weekend (engagement and my birthday) in a luxurious hotel in Manhattan! He planned a beautiful weekend for us, and I couldn't have asked for a better proposal which wonderfully enough was all caught on tape!
