First off, I would like to say, the Waiting Board is the best (in my personal opinion)! It always has recent and current posts and new ones coming in every few minutes…I love it!
So, when I got home from the gym bf was over at my house sitting on my couch with his iTouch in his hand and a huge goofy grin that he couldnt shake for 10 min. I have mentioned before on here that while I know what the ring looks like and have some idea that it will be ready this month, we both wanted the final product, when its done, and the proposal to be a surprise. However, my bf is not good at keeping any secrets from me and his face totally gave it away. About 30 min after his grin-a-thon on the couch bf went to the bathroom and I reached for his iTouch (assuming he wouldve closed whatever he was looking at by now) and I saw in the text box of his Yahoo mail: “Here are pictures of the completed ring, it is just waiting to be polished and rhodium plated”. I immediately put down the iTouch and pretended not to see anything. My heart was pounding a mile a minute at the thought I was one scroll down from seeing my completed ring after 6 mos of design process!
While I have been daydreaming the ring was already in his possession, at least I know it could be any day now! I just hope my loving bf can disguise his grins from now on and keep the whole thing a surprise. I’ll keep you ladies posted!

aww I am excited for you… In a way just to ease my worry I would love to find the receipt and not the actual ring, because I still want it to be a surprise when he actually does propose… since he will not be taking me to go pick one out with him, he is the type of guy that really wants to make it perect and to let everything be in his hands , that he will pick the perfect ring and he will have the perfect proposal planned. I want to let him do his thing but I would love just to know it is in progres…

That’s so exciting! Hopefully it will be soon! I think this part of the waiting process is probably the most fun, knowing he has it or almost has it and is just waiting for the perfect moment for all his plans to come together . . . ^_^

Awww! That is so amazing!
How did you come to the decision to have the ring designed together? I would love to do that with my boyfriend. Could you give me some ideas on how to get the ball rolling?
I am looking forward to hearing all about the proposal.

Not engaged yet but… saw my boyfriend emailed engagement ring pics to himself!! I put his phone down instantly and was in shock. Granted now I have to step up my game by telling him what I want because those rings were not my style 🙂 haha
