r/Diamonds

hello I am in my final round of picking the ring. The first ring is 1.01ct F color Marquise with two pear side stone. It is on the elegant vibe. The second ring is a 1.47ct H color princess cutting. It is sharp and modern. Now the two rings are same price and same cutting. Apparently with princess cutting I can get a bigger one, but I love the first one as well. Any thoughts?

Hi! I just found this diamond and we are about to put a deposit on it. It’s a 2.94ct L - faint brown color modified oval with cutlet. We were quoted $17k for the diamond and ~22k all in cost with 18k gold custom setting (solitaire). Please let me know if this is a good deal or if we are overpaying!

Thank you!

VVS2

10k

Is this a good design?

**The Specs:**

• Stone: 2.13ct Elongated OMC (1.39 ratio) E/VVS2 IG: 710509495

• Setting: 14k Yellow Gold, 2.4mm cathedral tapered band.

• Details: Tulip head, trellis bridge, accent petals

**The Dilemma:**

I’ve been designing this custom tulip cathedral (Invoice/CAD attached). I love the side "architecture" and that a straight wedding band will sit perfectly flush.

**The Doubts:**

I saw a split shank (last photo) and now I’m second-guessing. I love how the "V" frames the elongated stone from the top, but I hate the wedding band gap

Is there a way to make the petals more subtle and natural looking?

**Questions:**

• Is the tulip head too "busy" for a 1.39 ratio cushion?

• Should I stick to the solitaire for the flush stack, or is the split shank look worth the pairing struggle?

• Does the current design look balanced, or am I overthinking?

Set on the diamond, just losing sleep over the silhouette. Thoughts?

Is this 1.10 CT tennis bracelet ok for a men to wear ? Unfortunetly i can't afford better and the quality is really good imo for the price ( vs1-v2 , F-H color )

Would love opinions on this one..

Hi lovelies,

Just wanted to ask if AUD $29k is a fair price for this loose diamond.

Thanks heaps!!!

Hello everyone!

I’m searching for an engagement ring with a round natural diamond. I don’t know very much about diamonds although I’ve tried to learn as much as I can during the past few months.

Background: this is a 1,01ct triple-ex natural diamond (H / VS1). I would be able to buy this for big discount due to local AD’s internal campaing for staff, and family members (such as myself) of staff are eligible as well.

I would very much appreciate any opinions and/or concerns about the proportions and clarity characteristics.

What I’m concerned about the most is the small(ish?) crystal on table, but not sure whether that’s something I should worry about and if there’s something I’m missing.

Any feedback would be much appreciated as I’m super stressed about this purchase.

Thanks!
