And thus ends our Valentine’s Day series, which I hope you enjoyed as much as I did.

(Why, yes, that is my engagement ring on top of Emma.)

Looks lovely!

Pretty ring!

Love, love, love the ring!

Did you set a date yet?

Ask a Manager February 15, 2013 at 10:41 am

October 5!

Liz in the City February 15, 2013 at 12:46 pm: As a fellow October bride (10/30/10), enjoy your fall wedding! We had a lovely day with sun, yet still cool(er) temperatures, plus many pictures with a backdrop of changing leaves. So excited for you!

Aww. Happy Valentine’s, AAM. And to everyone else, regardless of what you may or may not have found at Superdawg.

Congratulations on finding your own Mr. Knightley!

Matthew February 14, 2013 at 7:23 pm

That does look like a nice ring.

MarBar February 14, 2013 at 7:30 pm

Lovely ring, terrific book! Is that rose gold I see?

Ask a Manager February 15, 2013 at 10:41 am: Yes! I love rose gold — which I didn’t know until this ring, and now I am obsessed with it.

Confused February 14, 2013 at 7:46 pm

Congratulations, Alison!

Josh S February 14, 2013 at 8:02 pm

That’s a really classy ring. Two tone gold, channel-set accent stones, and that criss-cross design — just … unique and classy.

If I’d have to venture a guess I’d say it’s a vintage/inherited piece? I don’t recall seeing anything like it when I was looking to buy my wife’s engagement ring…some 6 years ago. (And I was looking for something not dissimilar to it.)

Good job fiancé!

Ask a Manager February 15, 2013 at 10:47 am

Not vintage actually! But you’re not the first one to ask that — it seems to have that look, which is kind of nice.

Job seeker February 15, 2013 at 1:28 pm: Alison, your ring is beautiful and I am very happy for you.:-)

Veronica February 14, 2013 at 9:18 pm

congratulations!! gorgeous ring :)

Katniss February 14, 2013 at 9:23 pm

Congrats!

Don’t know if this is poor manners but do you know the designer for your ring? My BF and I are ring shopping and I love the style!

Ask a Manager February 15, 2013 at 10:48 am

I don’t, unfortunately! But if you search for rose gold rings online, I’ve noticed some similar styles.

Katniss February 15, 2013 at 12:34 pm: Awesome, will do! Thank you!

Veronica February 14, 2013 at 9:31 pm

Stunning!!!

Beth February 14, 2013 at 9:45 pm

Lovely. Congratulations.

Congrats! It’s lovely.

Kiribitz February 14, 2013 at 9:50 pm

Sparkly!

Job seeker February 14, 2013 at 10:02 pm

Beautiful.

Not So NewReader February 14, 2013 at 10:23 pm

I love the two tone rings. A classy choice, I think. A treasure for a life time…. Kind of like the man that comes with the ring, eh?!
Am so very happy for you both.

Elizabeth February 14, 2013 at 10:23 pm

Pretty ring!

NW Gal February 14, 2013 at 10:43 pm

That’s awesome!

AdAgencyChick February 14, 2013 at 10:53 pm

Goawchuss! Congratulations!

Anonymous February 14, 2013 at 11:09 pm

Nice Ring, congrats!

AB February 14, 2013 at 11:45 pm

1. As non-native female American living in the U.S., who never understood the appeal of engagement rings, I must say, this one is simply gorgeous.

2. The fact that it’s sitting on top of a Jane Austen’s novels makes it even prettier!

Very happy for AAM and the lucky fiancee!

Aswin Kini MK February 15, 2013 at 1:50 am

Congrats Alison! :) Hope you had a great Valentines day :)
Wishing you and your fiancee all the very best!

Gary Winters February 15, 2013 at 5:55 am

Congratulations! Beautiful ring; I wish you the best.

Ash February 15, 2013 at 8:13 am

I’m not a fan of yellow gold by any means, but the ring looks lovely. Congratulations!

Ask a Manager February 15, 2013 at 1:48 pm

Rose gold! I tried on some yellow gold rings just to see if I might end up liking them (because it’s hard to get the right metal with a redhead’s skin tone) and I just kept flashing in my head to my parents’ rings! Rose gold worked better.

Ash February 15, 2013 at 2:41 pm

Ah, I see. I do like rose gold. The picture just doesn’t do it justice. :)

Ask a Manager February 15, 2013 at 2:44 pm: Click on it — you’ll get a big version!

I LOVE Emma – I think it may be the funniest book I have ever read. And of course, your ring is beautiful!

businesslady February 15, 2013 at 9:54 am

oh, that ring is just lovely! I’d actually been thinking about requesting a picture, so I’m glad you beat me to it. :)

Anonymous Accountant February 15, 2013 at 10:02 am

danr February 15, 2013 at 11:37 am

I’ll echo the others… a lovely ring, and it fits who you are here. Traditional, yet different.

Angry Writer February 15, 2013 at 11:57 am

Funny how I always eyerolled at engagement rings … until I got mine last year! Now I love, love, love sharing in the joy. Gorgeous ring, it’s stunning! Congrats!

Megan February 15, 2013 at 2:23 pm

Oh, congratulations! Alison, it’s lovely, and how wonderful for you! squeeeee :) Sending well-wishes for lots of future happiness your way.

Jen M. February 15, 2013 at 4:41 pm

That is a beautiful ring! :)

All the best!

Valery February 15, 2013 at 5:04 pm

WHAT? Congrats! Love the ring and love, love, love Jane Austen. I consider myself a pretty dedicated follower but did I miss the announcement? And the story? Because the story is crucial!

Joanna February 15, 2013 at 5:21 pm

Yup, same here! Must have missed the original story. Regardless, all my best Alison – marriage is AWESOME if you do it right (right man, right goals and priorities). Since I’m the photography nerd, I’ll chime in – do NOT skimp on your wedding photos, because everything else fades away but beautiful, archival photos will not.

And your ring is so lovely. Happy-jealous for you. :)
