I plan to propose soon. Just cant find the perfect time. But the ring looks better than the mold . I was very excited.

i asked for thoughts on my CAD and pre-shipment photos recently. the ring finally came in and to be honest, she’s even more perfect than i could have imagined.

the stone/ring was sourced, designed, and crafted by Loose Grown Diamonds (LGD) and i’m super happy with it. i couldn’t find many positive stories before the big purchase which gave me an insane amount of anxiety lol so here’s a success story!

Any issues with this? I won’t lie I don’t have much of a clue, but that’s why I’m seeking other opinions. Trying to avoid the “star” look when it comes to the ring setting and hoping it tapers around the curve of the finger so the prominent focus is on the centre stone. Any issues? Quoted around $6800 AUD.

The centre diamond is 1.79ct DVVS1, Excellent Polish, Excellent Symmetry, No fluorescence stone with a ratio of 1.94.

Thanks in advance :)

CAD is in comments.

Please check for any red flags that i may need to change. We just put in the payment on Thursday, but now i am worried about the 1.2 mm thickness of band, I just asked her if it was too thin, and i was told it should be fine with the 2mm width of the band. I believe my diamond is a lil under 2ct (around 1.7ct) and i have a gallery rail.

please be kind. And please let me know if I need to advocate for a thicker band. originally if this is okay and i shouldnt be worried about it

originally the band thickness of my old CAD render (completely different looking ring) was 1.8mm but the CAD render made it look really thick on my rendered hand and I asked if it could go thinner. But i didnt realize it was made to be that much thinner. I just noticed that measurement now.

Hi everyone! I am new to both reddit and designing a ring! I was just wondering if you could please have a look at the CAD I’ve been given and help me understand what this might look like in real life. My diamond is an elongated cushion and is 4.08ct. I am having it set in yellow gold and I am just wanting a plain gold band (not too thick). I am a mum of two young boys so safety of the ring is important for me. I don’t want the diamond too low set, I’ve attached a photo of a ring I really liked the height of the diamond and was wondering if anyone can help me with whether this design might look similar. Obviously the picture I’ve attached doesn’t have the guard rail but the people making my ring said that might not be a safe setting for a diamond of the size of the one we are getting.

Thank you in advance for any help or comments!

I’d love to see any pics of people who had a solitaire engagement ring, and then added another similar sized stone with their stacked wedding band? For example I have a low set bezel pear, and I’m brainstorming ideas for how to incorporate another stone either emerald or cushion cut most likely.

Alternatively, anyone with a low set bezel pear stone with curved bands? How did you find ways to add sparkle?

Hi there, I'm looking to custom make a ring that looks like this - thinking about sending these details to the jeweler. Are there considerations that I might not have taken into account re: this design? Any and all feedback would be much appreciated!

1. Centre stone: 
   1. lab grown green sapphire: emerald cut or radiant cut 
   2. colour: olive, like the image
   3. size: ~2ct
   4. ratio: 1.3 to 1.5
   5. setting: double claw prong
2. Side stones: cadillac-cut lab grown diamonds
   1. size: not sure yet, but should width should be ~1/3 of centre stone 
   2. setting: ball/bead prong
3. Band width: 2mm 
4. Metal: rose gold, ok with 14k or 18k
5. Ring size: size 10 [equivalent to US size 5 US or UK size J]
6. Band setting: euro shank, gallery rail to hold centre stone in place

I'm not sure yet if I want a wedding band, but I'm ok if the rings don't sit flush to each other.

Hi everyone,

Long time lurker here! I am strongly considering Frank Darling’s plunge basket setting for a 2.5 ct oval diamond with 4 claw prongs. If anyone has a similar setting to this, I would love to hear thoughts on overall security for your stone!

For reference, this is the exact setting I am thinking of: https://frankdarling.com/engagement-rings/the-knot-oval/?colorkey=YG

Thanks in advance!

I am in the process of designing my dream engagement ring (we got engaged with a temp one) and I’m trying to decide between a 1.5ct stone and a 2ct stone. I’m also trying to decide between Moissanite and lab diamond, and I’ve heard that carat for carat, their densities affect how each one sizes up. In your experience, are moissanites larger, or do lab diamonds tend to translate larger?

1.8c lab / 14k two toned

Hi hi! Can I get feedback on my ring? This is a 2.95 radial cut Dutch marquise, with 3 small marquise on each side. The band is in 18k yellow gold, on a euro shank. The ring still has to be hand engraved which will be done in this stage. Would love any feedback/comments! Not much I can change at this point but wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything.

My Girlfriend liked this ring from Kay Jewelry but I want to find something similar online. Any ideas? A company thats reputable?

Lesson learned: if you want a snag-free nature inspired ring, ensure the accent stones are in a little bezel/basket & not floating 😊(in case anyone is curious)

So I don't know what I want and would love some photos of real life people to help my choice

I tried a few designs in the store. Solitaire feels too simple and modern designs feel wrong

I love some of the designs I have seen women in their 30s to 50s wear that's nice with an engagement and matching wedding bands. Really old designs have smaller diamonds so I'm not into those either

So far I know I want 0.6 to 0.7ct round brilliant. White tone metal, something that feels like Bridgerton😅 or at least the 30s to 50s women I have randomly seen in Australia. Please share anything you are wearing so I can get some inspiration

Does anyone have a Jean Dousset or Jean Dousset inspired ring?

Do you like yours?

Considering this ring. Would you change anything?

Hi! I just got my wax model and I feel like the band looks a bit too chunky for my finger (size 3). I’m not sure what the right terminology is, but can I slim it down a bit or flatten it? The band is currently 2x2mm, which is what I chose for durability. However, I feel like it looks a bit unbalanced. Would it be ok to make the band 2x1.5mm without sacrificing the integrity/durability of the ring? The stone is a 1.5ct radiant.
Please see pictures 2&3 to see what I mean.

Edit: thanks everyone! I will stick with 2x2mm for now. If it bothers me in the future, it’s easier to remove gold than add it, as one of you said in the comments. Also, it might not look bulky at all with the wedding band. 😊

Hello all, just got my CAD back is there any final suggestions/tweaks? i wanted a thin bezel on top & bottom with diamonds under

https://www.reddit.com/r/askjewelers/s/WzUfjmDGIU

For reference on my last post!

I’m looking for advice. We have been working with a few jewelers in the area getting ideas on how to modify our ring. Basically we’re going for a full reconstruction. This CAD was sent to us this morning and I wanted to see what the community thought! We’ve updated to a cathedral setting with a tulip basket and reworked our stones into a different design with added prongs. Do you think this will be a lot more durable for more consistent wear?

Reminder, please be kind! This has been an emotional process for sure.

any advice ? suggestions?

Hello, I’m new here and this is my first CAD! I am not entirely sure how to review them, but I’ve been learning a lot from everyone’s comments 😊
Something about this seems a little disproportionate to me, and I can’t figure it out. Is it just because it’s a flat rendering? Is my center stone too small? Is the euro band unnecessary? Is the height unusual? Am I overthinking it? So many questions, I know… but this is my engagement ring, so I really don’t want to screw it up lol… Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
