Exactly two weeks ago, Piete and I were at the jewellers designing my engagement ring, and late on Thursday just gone, Rebecca contacted Piete to tell him that they've found the stone for my ring!

The ring on the left is one that I tried on whilst we were discussing ideas, and the stone is 7mm on each side. My stone is 5mm on each side as the 7mm one looked pretty over the top when I tried it on.

It's been pointed out that I've not given links to some of the bits I was talking about for my ring, so I'll describe it again, with links!

It's going to be in palladium, which is a white/silver metal, with a green tourmaline trillium (the stone is cut so that it looks like a triangle, as you can see in the picture!). The stone is going to be set in tension style, which is apparently safer than an actualtension set ring, and so I won't loose the stone!

There's also going to be along the lines of this ring, which you might be able to see from the pencil design, but there's going to be a couple of diamonds on there as well.

All in all, I'm counting down the days until it's finished, and I'll let you know when I know more!
