Ring features a 2.5 carat center stone in a cushioned setting. Band is sterling silver. Size is 5.

Hello all! I’m getting married in July and am needing help finding a wedding band for myself! I have a very unique ring that was my fiancés grandmothers. It takes up a good bit of surface area so it’s hard to find a wedding band that goes with it. I’m very limited on what I can get. We’ve been to a few jewelers and I’ve kind of found what I like, however the prices for them are a lot more than we can afford. I’m open to getting moissanite or lab grown. And I am wanting a gold band to match the engagement ring and I don’t really wear silver. I just want to love what’s on my finger as I plan to never replace them. I have attached pictures of the engagement ring plus wedding bands I have looked at and loved. I really love the ring guards but need one that comes out more and accents the engagement ring. Kind of like the third picture but maybe not as pointy, and a guard. Any help is appreciated! I’ve seen a few on Etsy that I’ve loved but I don’t really trust Etsy anymore as I don’t want something that is cheap being sold for 100s-1000s of dollars. If anyone knows of reputable places to get good quality rings please let me know

I love the proportions of the diamond I can’t stop staring at it!!!

I am resetting my original 2ct natural diamond as a solitaire and I don’t know the proper terminology to describe what I want. I would like to use the proper description to do a good ‘ole google search to find similar designs I might want to consider as well. Image searching only gets me so far. Help!

Posted about a custom ring idea (mockup made with AI) for my SO — pink diamond flush/“gypsy” set with star accents. Got mostly positive comments but one that said it looked “vaginal” and now I can’t unsee it.

Honestly it hasn’t killed it — I still like the design but it’s something to consider. I’m wondering if there’s a way to make it look less anatomical keeping the pear, or if I should opt for an elongated cushion, oval, or another shape with the same concept.

I’m trying to get a ring made, but a custom detail I requested was lost in translation. I’d like the center marquise stone to be flush with the with the gold creating a bezel look. How do I go about explaining that I’d like the stone tips to be protected as pictured and having it set flat and not raised would help with that? Would I have to forgo the horizontal gold detail under the diamond that creates the look of cat ears? I’m aiming to get a wedding band that is even with the engagement ring and not curved.

Here is my beautiful ring!!! I picked it out with my fiance. I was going to get my mother in laws diamond in this ring but then it was not able to be done because of super high costs. But i fell in love so I decided I wanted this ring. Some people have judged it for the size but i love it!

Hi, I need help with my ring design. Our jeweler would like to add a support bar on the cathedral side for security, which is definitely important to us. I'm having a hard time picturing it and worry about it taking away from the design. Any thoughts or suggestions? Should we add a complete gallery rail? Thank you in advance 🫶

I am upgrading my ring after 13 years (yay!) and my husband purchased me a 2.1 ct elongated cushion.

We requested this setting to be made for it from the same person who provided the diamond: https://www.distinctivegem.com/products/jade-in-14kt-rose-size-8-25

My ring will be a 4.25 - so I acknowledge the band is smaller than the digital mockup.

They provided us a video of the completed ring today and while it’s beautiful, I’m wondering if the prongs are over sized on the completed version. I live a delicate claw prong, which it looked like that setting had.

Can someone with more experience than me tell me if my prongs are indeed oversized, or if my expectations just need a reset? I do want the diamond to be secure of course.

Thanks!

I received this CAD and I’m not super in love with the design.

I originally stated that I wanted this:

Solitaire cathedral casing with 6 white gold tulip prongs, with v-tips.

18k Yellow gold band 2.3mm

The stone is 4.05ct Marquise E VS1 excellent

How can I get them to improve this design?

This is just a render but the engagement ring will be an elongated oval with the specs:

1.32 carats, 1.79 ratio, D color, 2.5mm wide 18k gold band, claw prongs (not round like in the photo)

I really like the idea of colored stones in the wedding band and love the channel set look.

Will I get tired of the blue sapphire?

Will this type of band take away from the engagement ring itself?

Will this combo be too flashy?

Is this too trendy and maybe kind of cringe in 10 years?

Thank you!!

I used AI to create this, I want the wedding band and engagement ring with the setting to have the same band so she can wear just the wedding band that matches when she doesn’t want to worry about her stones. The way the image was created isn’t perfect. The stone and halo would be slightly smaller to be more in scale with the 2.5mm band and it wouldn’t be centered over both it would be centered with the top band. But other wise the band is from pictures I provided with that design and I like the edge of the halo not being smooth and following the contour of the edge diamonds. From what I understand she doesn’t plan on welding them. The only musts are pink sapphire long Asher cut and yellow gold.

This is a 2.3 carat OMC ring I plan to use for travel. I’m unsure whether I would wear a wedding band. This design is based off a Frank Darling ring I love (pic 2). I’d appreciate any feedback!

I am going through the design process for my emerald cut diamond ring. I just received a 360 design from a local jeweler and took some screenshots uploaded here. My inspiration pictures are the last 4 pictures marked with highlighted numbers. How can I explain the differences between the two to the designer (they had the original pictures). I feel like the design is close but not what I really want.

Just for fun! I made this custom ring with a local jeweler and I absolutely love her. Marquise stones show more of the carat weight on the top surface area, so I'm curious what people think as far as the carat weight when they see it.

I chose this design because I've just always had it in my head, and I have a big appreciation for more simple art deco jewelry. So I'm just elated seeing it come to life. But sometimes I get a little self conscious about the size, and I wonder what other people think of it. I've never really been concerned with having a big flashy ring, that was never my plan. But now I realize that I have a big flashy ring, and that it might come with some people having opinions lol

Anyone want to guess? The ring is size 6.75. side stones are .25 each. Set in platinum

For the record, I've been wearing the ring for a year now and I'll agree with the general consensus that marquise *do* catch on things pretty often (even with a low setting). But tbh I don't wear my ring every day, maybe just 4 days a week, so it hasn't been a huge issue for me. I don't really wear it around the house because I'm always doing chores and chasing my son, so I mainly put her on when I'm getting close to heading out the door. In retrospect I probably should've gotten something a tad smaller since the carat weight goes a long way. That would be my tip to anyone who's planning to get a marquise!

Just received the PSP/PSVs of my rings but it looks a little different than the CAD? I can’t quite put my finger on it .. would love to hear your thoughts!! Also totally open to hearing that it looks the exact same and that I am being too nit picky lol. CAD last slide.

I just got my final ring design back, the wax model they sent had pointy prongs like I requested. They were a little thick but I was told the wax model wouldnt be so accurate. They also look like they arent holding the diamond as close as it should be in some places? This is my first time getting a ring made, a second pair of eyes would be very helpful. Thank you!
