Gold Solitaire Diamond Engagement Ring With Halo

Surprising Hope is no easy feat, so when Jake decided to propose to her, he had his work cut out for him. The pair went ring shopping in November for Hope’s birthday, where she picked out a striking solitaire diamond set in a rose-gold diamond halo band, but didn't get down on one knee and pop the question until New Year’s Eve. “As we were counting down the few remaining seconds to midnight, Jake stopped the countdown, let go of my hand and started to say ‘I can’t imagine starting 2015 any other way,” Hope says. “I burst into tears, he got down on one knee, and at some point I said yes.”
