The middle stone looks really nice to me, but I don't know whether it looks complemented by the details in the rings or vice versa.

What would you do with the stacked look here, choose to go with a smooth band, or do something else entirely?

I feel like it’s huge 😭 it’s going to take some getting used to but it is so beautiful! I even added the pink one I made for more casual days. I’m still genuinely shocked at how huge the ring looks on me I’m afraid it looks like costume jewelry. Both are beautiful and from stargems

The quoted price is $3,850 for this mounting

I told them during the consultation to keep it around $3000 if possible for the mounting. It does have everything my gf wanted though, the extra $850 would sting but wouldn't ruin me lol.

I brought the diamond in (2.5ct lab grown), I didnt include the price of it in any of the above prices.

EDIT: Size 8 ring, 14k Gold

Title says it all. Is this how people actually think in this sub?

Side note: bow ties are caused by poor cutting, that's just a fact. I have many pictures of oval diamonds with no bow tie. Cheap material will never be cut to the same standard as more valuable material unless it's done by a hobbyist, rather than a professional.

Not knowing my now fiancé was the one that bought it 🤣🤣
She’s a “fancy vivid green” 3.29 carat radiant cut gorgeous gorgeous girl and I’m so excited to wear her on my hand the rest of my life 😭😭😭💚

I purchased this diamond based on the video, but I’ve just been sent a picture of it and now im worried it has a significant bow tie. Or could this just be because it’s sitting on the blue cushion?

Here to report I had a wonderful experience with Brilliance. The wait was around 5 weeks. Pictures dont do it justice i believe. So happy with them especially because I had a bad experience with Ritani prior.

2.1ct pear g vs1 Girlfriend’s custom engagement ring

I’m choosing between these settings for a 6–8 ct diamond, ring size 3. I want it to be aesthetically pleasing and maximum structural integrity and security.

1. Which setting would you choose, and are there any changes you’d recommend for a stone this large?

2. Also, is a 2.5 mm band enough or should I go higher?

Would love input from jewelers/bench jewelers or anyone with experience with large center stones! Thanks! 🙏

What do you think of this price? All inclusive. Also, any feedback on the design? Thanks!

I purchased an east-west emerald-cut band in July, and I’m kind of kicking myself now. At the time I was deciding between the emerald band and an old mine cut band, second-guessed myself, and went with the emerald.

I’ve since found out I can have another band made through Provence for a fraction of what I paid, so I’m going for it. 😂

My question isn’t which diamond cut you like better. I’m trying to decide which design would add something different to my stack.

Do you think a straight old mine cut band would look too similar to the band I already have?

I’m considering doing the pictured pink/lab diamond design instead, but with all white diamonds and changing the emerald cuts to old mine cuts. It would have 7 stones total — 4 old mine cuts alternating with 3 rounds.

Would you do the alternating OMC/round design, or stick with all old mine cuts?

(excuse my fiances chewed up fingers lol..)

So I got my engagement ring from zales which i know is bad okay, low quality marked up and mass produced all that. the thing is i absolutely fell in love with this piece and i searched high and low from local jewelers and online stores and everything and couldn’t find the same design for a better price at all. So i am going to stick with this ring and later on when we have more money im going to bring it to a jeweler for a little refurbishing.

so my question is here, from this photo or general knowledge, what do you think would need to be changed/redone. also, if anyone has prior experience with zales jewelry: what should i expect from this ring? is it going to be very fragile? will i be able to be active with it on without worry of damage? anything helps. TYSM

Just got this ring for our 10th anniversary. Center stone is 3.5 carat lab grown. I’m worried it looks too large and gaudy? Also is the band too thin for the ring?
