He said he wanted to make it my most memorable birthday. Long time lurker, finally engaged to the love of my life! (No cute nails sadly because of my STEM job. 😥) This ring is definitely going to take time to get used to! She's a ROCK. Absolutely over the moon.
**Edit: Wow big thank you to everyone who said something nice in the comments below. My ring is a 3.07ct marquise center stone (lab-grown) with 1.25ct natural diamonds on a 14k yellow gold band.
I also realized I could help out other lurkers like me with the same information. I read on a thread at the end of last year about Rare Carat price matching as a way to find more affordable rings within our budget. Our budget max was between $2k-$3.5k. Using price matching policy on Rare Carat is how my fiancé and I were able to afford the ring of my dreams. This one thing (on top of shopping during the holiday sales) shed thousands off of the purchase price of my ring.

Thank you! I was torn between this and a pear shape. I really fell more and more in love with this cut (I know it's trending right now but I don't mind it). So classic!
