Help me pick which style ring!

Help me pick which style ring!

Do you like the top with a step cut diamond and unique setting or the bottom with the elongated cushion and classic setting.

I’m already married so this would just be another option for me to wear so I don’t mind if it’s more trendy than classic.

oval setting that won't rip medical gloves?

My partner is a nurse and washes her hands a million times a day, so a high-set stone is definitely going to snag on everything and tear through gloves. She told me she wants a 1.5 carat oval but I'm stuck on the actual structure of the head.

I've been looking at different physical stores like Helzberg, a small estate shop near my work, and Ashcroft & Oak just to see the actual side profiles in person because online photos don't show the height well. A standard 4-prong looks like an accident waiting to happen, but I don't know if a full bezel ruins the light return on an oval.

If anyone has a low-profile oval, how many millimeters is the clearance from the finger? Do the prongs still catch?

Stone size concerns

I'm starting to have second thoughts about the stone my fiance and I picked out. I don't want it to look too big (like costume jewelry) but I fear it does despite our jeweler saying it compliments my finger well. It's a 3.59 I believe and they had a 2.? available as well. I may go back and look at the 2.? before any final decisions are made... thoughts and opinions needed!

Opinions ? Just recently got engaged , ecstatic but I’m scared it looks to large on my finger ? Sorry nails are not done 🤭

Thoughts?

I'm getting an engagement ring for my girlfriend and don't know the first thing about rings. This is a 1.4 carat emerald with.23 diamonds on each side and all the stones are lab grown. I got them down to £3100 and we get free resizing for life, free cleanings for life and if she hates it can get something different with no extra charge.

It's within my budget but don't want to get completely mugged off - any opinions on how it looks or thoughts on it?

Is my marquise ring too big/flashy?

Recently got engaged (EEEK!! ☺️) but I’m slightly concerned the ring looks too much/flashy? We designed the ring together and picked out a 2.7ct diamond with a longer ratio but at the time it was hard to visualize what exactly the final product would look like/how the diamond would look. I have bigger palms and long fingers but slender (size is 3.5) so been wondering if the diamond is too much. Additionally the first comment my friends/family have been making is that it’s huge/massive, etc so I’ve been getting a little insecure about it!

I know at the end of the day it’s my ring and I do love her but would love to hear others thoughts!!

Which eternity ring should i go with?

I need help deciding which of these eternity rings look best with my engagement ring? (Ignore the wedding band in pic 1)
I love both equally and both are within the same price range.

My main idea is that my engagement ring looks like a flower, so i wanted a floral/leaf-like eternity ring to compliment it and add to the look.

E-ring #1:
Pros: beautiful design, super sparkly and shiny.
Cons: a but bulky so not for everyday wear i think?

E-ring #2:
Pros: daintier design and fits well with the engagement ring without overpowering it.
Cons: the stones aren’t shiny and a bit dull (replacing the stones isn’t an option)

Which one would you choose? Or should i look for something else entirely?

Engagement Ring - CAD Review

Hi!

We’re having my engagement ring and wedding band made together.

It’s almost perfect - I’m asking to match the ring sizes so they’re both 7.25 given the 3mm widths (I am a size 7 but the wider bands I want my finger to have room to stack them).

The bridge is also missing melee diamonds across it. I’m also aware of the rubbing for the stones on the sides of the shank - we plan to get extra melee stones in case I lose some over time!

Any other feedback?

Engagement Ring: CAD Review Support

Hi community members!

I am about to take an exciting next step with my partner and would greatly appreciate your support in reviewing / providing any feedback regarding our custom engagement ring and wedding band CAD.

The engagement ring design is for a 3-carat lab grown diamond, so structural integrity will likely be a key consideration with the four-prong design.

Based on discussions with my partner previously, I understand that she’d like the engagement ring to be set as low as possible for the wedding band to still sit flush with it - I’m not sure whether this is exactly the case in the current CAD.

Thank you in advance for your support and guidance - I’m a complete newbie to this world so really appreciate any feedback possible!

Need help to make design better

Hi i am trying to design my engagement ring and would like to see if there are ways to make it better.

My girlfriend likes disney and like it princessy and classy. The gems will be lighter in color for the cyan and pink color!

Thanks!!

Started looking today

A little surprised at what I ended up liking!! But I can't stop looking at this one.
This is a 2ct stone.
Whatever we choose would be a custom build.
-- Do you like it??
-- What would you think if we went up to 3ct? Too big?
-- Biggest question. What kind of cool side view settings are there for bezel? I loved the lotus setting but they said you need the prongs and it doesn't show well with an elongated stone. Anyone had pics to share of cool side support settings on a bezel?

Round solitaire rings in practice

What do you thinks about round solitaire rings? Are they practical? I found some nice designs of engagement rings on Ritani, but I'm not sure how suitable are they.

My gf works with her hands a fair amount, and I don't want to point her toward something that looks great in photos but snags on everything or feels awkward after a few hours.

For those of you who wear a round solitaire every day: does the setting give you any trouble?

CAD feedback

I’ve received my CAD and want to give my feedback to the jewellers. What do you think? I’d like the diamond to sit lower and I’m not sure about the band size? Is it right? Also, I’d love for the tulip petals to be structural around the corners of the stone like in the inspiration ring. What do you think?

Old mine designs

I finally acquired my dream diamond of an Old Mine after giving up and settling on my original emerald cut bezel design. Now that I found an old mine I'm considering spiraling from a full bezel solitaire emerald to something like this - I want a bezel for everyday durability, but dont think old mine looks as good in a bezel.

Show me your old mine designs to give me more ideas. Especially if you have a bezel. Do your prongs ever get caught on things ? I'm pretty rough with my hands.

Looking for a designer :)

Good afternoon!

I’m looking to get a ring done and have fallen in love with this design by staghead designs.

I reached out to them but they don’t accept outside stones. I have found a 2 carat marquise blue diamond that is a very light blue that I love.

I’d love to have blue diamonds/sapphire accent stones inside of the squares and I hate the top band so some redesigning on the top/bottom tracer is welcome. Outside of adding texture to the middle band, I can’t see anything else I’d want to change but feel free to change my mind! The second is another ring I found that fits the style I really like.

Materials: white gold, lab grown diamonds, potential sapphire
