For those of you wondering what my ring looks like, here it is!
It's a 1.5 t.w. carat round cut center diamond surrounded by a halo and micro-pave band set in 14k white gold (we're going to re-plate it in platinum on our 5 year anniversary) and it has a matching wedding band. I actually got to pick out my own ring! This was after a couple months of researching rings that fit Chris's high standards and my very picky taste. :)
Chris had to have a temporary sizer put on it because he didn't have time to properly size it before the proposal.
We're getting my current ring appraised and insured and then sent off for verification since it didn't come with a grading report (we purchased from Zale's because this was the only setting I've found that I liked in months of research). Depending on what the report states, Chris wants to upgrade the diamond and pass down the current one to our daughter one day. I really don't care if we upgrade this one or not, because I'm in love with it as is!
If we do it that way, Chris will get the diamond that matches his standards and I get the setting I loved! We love that my ring has room to grow as we pass milestone anniversaries!
So long story short, we don't know all the c's quite yet. But I DO know it doesn't have any visible imperfections.
