We actually just got back from St. Lucia last night! We had a great trip and I was able to pull off the surprise of Maria''''s life. (I was even able to get someone to capture the moment with a camera). The ring is so beautiful! It is just perfect and also goes well (and fits well) with the antique eternity band that belonged to my great-grandmother. I was so busy with last minute plans before the trip I was not able to let you know sooner. And Maria really thinks it''''s gorgeous too. She loves it!!
