Long story short, we are going to get married. Now I need to find a ring, she has said that she wants an older ring with history. So I have been keeping my eye out for a while and saw a good deal. Based on these pictures, what do you guys/gals think?

It is platinum but I don't have a specific stone size. I will be meeting the fellow at a jeweler to confirm that its real though. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Ohh ya, pic of us.

Negative, however I will be checking it out in person on Thursday. This is the first time I will be shopping for an engagement ring though.

Congrats. I think that ring will make her smile every time she looks at it.

Cuz she knows she can put her hand out and it will be like "Clackity clack!.... bling bling!"

Ya, this is only the first of three hurdles..... I have to formerly ask her folks and then ask her, I know the answer but still it's nerve racking....

I need some more details to give you an accurate figure, but a good rule of thumb is to be SI3 or better and H or better with a good/fair cut for at or under $1800/carat.

I really like the ring you've chosen, but you said she wants an older ring with history. Does that mean she wants to know some of the details of where the ring has been, etc.?

You're a really cute couple. Good luck with the parents and the proposal. Congratulations and best wishes.
