Thank you guys for all of your comments and support! I greatly appreciate it. I will definitely give an update after it happens.

I do have one more question/concern. I do travel frequently so I know the procedures in the airport, but what if the bag I have the ring in gets searched? I'm going to have it in my digital camera bag in a custom made box. I just have this huge fear that this bag will be subject to "random" search that day.

Any ideas on how to get around this? Placing it in the checked luggage is out of the question.
