I love this entire video! I am similar to you - engagement was definitely an open conversation me and my (now) husband had: whether I was comfortable getting proposed to be in public, how much we wanted to spend on a ring, what kind of ring, etc. I have always recommended to all my friends who are thinking of getting engaged to go to different jewelry stores and try things on bc you really do think you have an idea in your head and then you try it on and it's just not the ring for you! I thought I wanted a round-cut diamond with a halo setting. Tried that on - NOPE lol. Also a fellow lab diamond wearer! Best decision ever!

Great video! Your ring is beautiful. The corners and placement of prongs really do make the ring in my opinion! I’m happy to hear you have a lab grown diamond. I am in the same position as you, not millionaires and I’m perfectly fine with a lab grown. I’ve been told I should sacrifice the size/style of the ring I want in order to have a natural diamond because the quality matters most. I disagree with that wholeheartedly and am relieved that someone I respect so much as yourself has a lab-gown herself!

I LOVE your ring! It's not what I would pick for me, but it's perfect for you! Unique and classic at the same time ❤ I got a moissanite that I love for our 10 year anniversary. It took a long time to find what I wanted, but I'm so happy with it. It's just a round (old European) cut solitaire, but it was hard to find a setting I liked. Then my band is a very simple dimond band. I love that I can wear my band on its own, and it's petite and simple. Especially since I have kids. I'm so happy for you guys!! Congratulations! ❤
