    it is - its absolutely gorgeous - i would be thrilled to recieve it - even tho i love colour stones - my ideal engagement ring would actually be emerald - and if this guy can afford that ring! the emerald would be superb! unfortunately - my guy gave me a sapphire - as a surprise - and i dont really like sapphires! but fortunately i put on weight and it doesnt fit anymore! so i got a replacement eternity ring! my choice - he couldnt afford the emerald one i liked so i got moissanite - he definately wouldnt have afforded the diamonds!!! but i love it - so sparkly!!!

    that is fabulous!!!! I love it :D

    Oh also, don't forget to check out the proportions as you want to make sure the light refracts well through it! google should help you find out what % you want.

    Love is not something you make up and it has away of making you push your own boundaries, love always comes out on top.

    It's a fabulous ring, I would love it.
    Does your intended fiancee know about it at all?

    The only downsides I could possibly see is:
    1. How it will fit with a wedding ring.
    2. If your fiancee's fingers are small, so many diamonds around the side (10 or more each side?) may be too much.

    Not sure where you're getting it from but this website (which pitched on Dragon's Den) shows the prices for a similar weight/colour/quality stone.

    Well if that's what she likes then fab :) I'd personally not like it but then I made very sure my now hubby knew what style/kind of ring I would like :) I like VERY simple designs that aren't too raised from the finger - I would find multiple diamonds very off putting because it's simply not my style... If you've done the research and found your GF drooling over this type of ring then fab and she'll love it :)
