Well I finally did it, and she actually said yes, so the ring is on her finger and has been around town for a couple weeks! DK did a fantastic job, she couldn't be happier, and we have gotten the nicest compliments from all our family and friends! We will definitely use him again, and I'm pretty sure my new
fiance has some projects in mind already. As for the asha, it's absolutely flawless! It's beautiful and sparkly, but I don't need to tell anyone here that! And yes, I have included some pictures!
As soon as she remembers her old password for here she'll be on, posting more pictures I'm sure. Thank you to all of you that helped me finalize the details with this ring, it turned out perfect! Good call on the size of the center stone, and the 3/4 band is just right.
