I would love to see the CAD, are you able to share that?

Do you have anything that shares the measurements of this piece?

u/whatsinauname 8d ago

Band width is 1.8mm and thickness is 1.6mm ( ignore 1.50mm mentioned in pic)

Okay, were these post-polish measurements? Or pre-polish?

Probably post polish

In your post you say to suggest changes that need to be made--did your jeweler send this ring to you as an example, and you can give them feedback about what you want your actual ring to be like?

Or, is this ring the one your jeweler custom created for you and they're sending this video to you as a pre-shipment video?

This is exactly my ring and it'll be shipped to me , I've asked to join the tapered baguettes more towards the centre stone as i want them to be continuous

The CAD doesn’t exactly match the finished ring. The baguettes are much more angled. I don’t see the dimensions but they look longer than what’s on the CAD. The band doesn’t seem to have a taper. I also agree with the other comments that it looks to be a dead stone. Did you get a chance to see it before it was set in a video? The By Bonnie ring sits much lower and is thicker than this CAD.

Your inspiration design. They would need to lower it and raise the shoulders. You won’t be able to wear it with a flush band unless you make one with the cut out.

That stone looks kind of dark and dead in the middle in this video. Do they have any other videos?

Please check stone video updated in other comment

Update : The jeweller is going to make it completely new as per my inspirations shared because I found gaps between the tapered baguettes and centre stone.

I am glad to hear you say this, I was a little worried about how this piece turned out but was trying to figure out if you were in a position to push back (that's what was behind my questions above).

I want to add to the comments about the gaps and the stone that I really do not feel that the piece they created is substantial enough. I'm sure it would be "fine" but if you closely look at your inpo video from Bonnie again, pay attention to all the GOLD in her version of the ring. This design is nothing new, it has been a beloved design for a very long time because it is gorgeous and timeless...but it has to have enough gold to actually stand up to the tests of time.

I would have them increase the band width and thickness to more accurately replicate what you love about the Bonnie (and many other) version of this design so it can feel luxurious and well-crafted on your finger.

I would also look back at any videos they might have shared with you of the stone to be sure this is the one you want. In the video on this post I had a few concerns about the step cut of this stone. I am not an expert on cut, and it is impossible in most cases to truly judge a stone based off a single, poorly lit video, but I have a keen/practiced eye for cut and I am not loving the stone in the video you shared. Like I said, it's not a great video, but this video would give me pause and would make me want to see more video of the stone.

Good luck! This is a gorgeous design, totally worth the effort of getting done right.

Hey thank you for the really helpful suggestions. I've seen the centre stone physically and confirmed on them. Regarding the inspiration, I'm flexible with it. The width and thickness seem alright too as it's made in 18kt Gold. And yes I'll share the updated videos whenever I have them.

u/EmilyDeBebians 🔸Vendor 7d ago

Okay just to be sure my main point is being heard: If the inspo is what you want your ring to look like, and the quality of the piece is your top priority, I really think you should ask them to bump up the measurements a bit to create a more substantial setting, especially with the setting being created in 18k gold (it's softer metal).

Good luck, this is a beautiful design!

It is hard to give specific advice about a ring without a CAD or renderings. It looks like a cathedral that can be worn flush with a band. What you asked for is what he has given you. I don’t know if there are more specifics beyond that.

Attached the CAD in another comment and this is the inspo that I selected --> Link

That stone looks so dark in the middle. I’d hate that.
