My boyfriend of two and a half years proposed to me on Christmas morning with my grandma and sister there. It was the sweetest thing ever!
He wrapped a shirt box in wedding wrapping paper that said, "ring of love..." all over it. I, of course, didn't even realize it until he pointed it out to me
Then, inside, he folded a pink hoodie jacket from Roxy that had two hands in the shape of a heart on it (what are the odds of him finding that in the store the day before Christmas). He placed the ring box right in the middle of the two hands and there it was...a beautiful, custom designed, Christopher Duquet (
http://www.christopherduquet.com) engagement ring. Exactly what I had wanted!
Here are the CAD images from the jeweler as it was designed (it has milgrain where the smooth metal is, so it has an antiquey look to it):
Not the best camera picture, but it's a round center diamond that's 1.05 carats with halo diamonds set in platinum. The setting has emerald cut baguettes down each side of the band with a filigree gallery under the center stone and baguettes. It has milgrain etching around the halo diamonds and down the sides. Total weight is 2.5 carats.
Congrats to all the other girls who got engaged over the holidays!
