After much investigation into diamonds
This was the most fun part for me - I found it really interesting <sad> Sometimes I find myself looking at Laura's diamond for ages just watching the way the light reflects off it.

Not sad at all IMO
if you get into the subject properly there is so much to learn about the little stones. I spent hours on the t'internet researching and several afternoons down the jewelery quater in Birmingham and had dialogue with some dealers in Antwerp to.

Found just what I wanted in the end.

As for cost I think you should buy what you want to not what you think you ought to - and a bigger diamond doesn't always mean that its better....

Cheers
Rob

Oh and g/f doesn't come on here Andy - but she does know I've got it!!!

Quality was more important to us. In the end we got a D/VS1 0.5ct diamond with a very good cut and slight florescence. We compared it to a lower quality full carat diamond and frankly there was no comparison IMHO despite being the same price. The smaller diamond was much brighter, clearer and is totally eye clean whereas I could make out a number of inclusions in the bigger diamond and it was noticeably yellow despite being of a reasonable colour grade itself.

Here is Laura’s below in a platinum setting:



Kind of wish I’d taken a pic of the diamond before it was set now.

Congratulations.

I've been married for just coming up to 19 years, and we're *still*as happy as we were on day one.

So bollocks to everyone who says it's downhill all the way... oh, and the sex gets even better, too

Congratulations.

Now you've given up sex, you'll have more time to spend on the Scooby.
