Traci, If you don't remember, you helped me buy a diamond over the summer (Ideal Cut, VS1, I, .486). Sorry I didn't email you all this sooner. I always remember when I'm not around a computer that I need to send an email to you with the story and pictures. So, I proposed to my girlfriend right after I got home from working out of town for the summer. I attached a few pics of the ring. And here's the proposal story: We had been meditating on the same Bible verse: Song of Solomon 4:7 ""You are altogether beautiful, my darling, and there is no blemish in you"" while I was in Marietta for the summer. I moved back on Sunday, and non-chalantly asked Kristina if she wanted to go for a walk at the Botanical Gardens and then maybe grab some dinner. So we went out there to the rocks that overlook the river to talk about the verse and catch up some. That is the place where we'd often talk about things and where we decided to start dating again. So we talked about the verse, and I told her that I picked it because that's how I saw her. I gave her a small pocket-size Bible with the verse written on the inside (she had been wanting a small Bible), then gave her a nice artistic card that had pretty much the same verse on it. Inside it I wrote a little note about how I feel for her and the card read ""the voice of the Bridegroom has spoken"". She started to cry a little. I wanted to take the ring out then, but it was stuck in my pocket. So I stood up, which was real awkward, but she had no idea what was going on. I got my hand on the ring box, crouched down in front of her (kinda on a knee, but not totally b/c there was no room on the rock/terrain) and pulled the box out. Totally surprised, Kristina started to shake and cry some. I fumbled over some unrehearsed words and then asked, ""Will you marry me?"" She said, ""Yes, of course!"" And then me, like the total dork I am, realized how I had kinda fumbled over my words and was like, ""I'm a total dork, that wasn't smooth at all."" Kristina reassured me, ""No, no. It was perfect. I love you."" We smooched a second and reveled in the craziness of being engaged. Then cleaned up some and went out to celebrate at 5 and 10 (probably the best restaurant in Athens) for dinner. Thanks soooo much for the help. She really loves the diamond, always commenting how 'sparkly' it is. We plan to get married on March 3rd, 2007. Thanks again for helping me out and putting so much work into it for me!

I had my family jeweler do the setting. Ring was ready last Friday and she said yes! Thanks again for all your help on sourcing the diamond. It is a beautiful stone.

The rock is really beautiful! It has a lot of play in the light. So I'm happy with it and it does live up to what I expected and beyond. It has a lot of play in the light. Amazing!! She is very happy. The purchasing experience has been AAA! Becca was just a fast responding support! Most website who offer chat support end up taking too much time! The speed was on par with a dating app! Very nice! Fedex ruined the presentation box but the diamond was very well protected due to the special suspension box inside. I reached out to Whiteflash and immediately they shipped another. Very helpful with diamond selection, education and technical support. Always on point and available. The service felt like a one-to-one consult/service and very professional and confidence inspiring experience. The diamond itself sparkles a lot and I compared to several GIA 3X and none of them sparkled this much. A Cut Above is really a cut above the regular rocks. Thanks for the support! It has been a great experience!

I initially purchased a diamond and setting online without talking to anyone, but after talking with Becca a couple times we determined that the diamond I had initially picked out would not meet my expectations. She was super understanding and offered to return the purchase immediately, no questions asked. Even though my husband and I decided to hold off on upgrading my ring (purchased from James Allen) for now, but can't wait to visit their showroom and pick my forever ring :)
