Proposal Pictures from Brian Gavin's Elated Customers...

Rodel and Elaine returned from their trip to Paris and e-mailed us this note along with all the beautiful pictures of her new "Elaine's Reverie" diamond engagement ring below:

Sorry for the deluge of pictures, but we've been back from Paris since Friday, all rested up, and still wildly excited! As you can see, I popped the big question in front of the Louvre in Paris. It wasn't my first choice (I was originally going to propose in the Alps during our snowboarding portion of the trip in the first week), but it turned out to be perfect for us and Elaine wouldn't have it any other way. Despite the day being a little overcast and having recently rained, the ring performed beautifully! Elaine loves it, and after the long lasting shock of the proposal, she couldn't get over how brilliant the diamonds are and how elegant the setting is – again, perfect. Actually, she told me later that her initial shock of my proposal was partly the question itself, but also a lot of, "Oooh, shiny!"

Take this for what you will, but when we were finally inside the Louvre I caught her staring intently at her ring when we were in the presence of the Mona Lisa. It was a very funny and endearing moment, and a testament to what you folks have created. I've included a picture of Elaine with the Mona Lisa and, of course, Elaine's Reverie. I also thought you'd get a kick out of a picture we took of the ring along with the French Crown Jewels… I'm pretty sure Elaine much preferred her new jewelry, heh. Thanks again for everything. Rodel
