Jeweler said its no good, redesign is way off
Hi!! We're looking for an engagement ring. I showed the jeweler the first pic, and basically he said "Nope. Bad idea" and sketched the 2nd pic.
Was wondering if it really is just a bad idea to have the marquise stones along the band like that ? I get that the small stones can easily get dinged if theyre on the outer wall of the band, but cant those be on the top or inner side of the band (as opposed to the outside, like the original ring) but still follow this shape ? He kinda just stuck them in the corners of the pear and now its like a big cluster / clump, no longer has the vibe and je nais se quoi thats like beautiful and simple but unique.
Open to any suggestions/feedback. TY<33
