Proposal Ring - Part 2

[jhchoo85]

here is the problem which lies in the HCA scoring limitations

for diamond number 2: the crown angle is above 35 degeres, which makes the diamond top heavy, this is why you're also sitting on the bare minimum of gia's cut grade excellent proportions. i just saw your hearts you uploaded too, the uneven clefting in the hearts shows the uneven lower girdle facets, also shows the table leakage at 2 oclock between the arrows (would not go with this)

i really don't know if you will want to consider SI1 especially with a feather on it, plus i can see the crystal inclusions right under the table and diamond 3 isn't a H&A at all. these are just "alright" excellent cuts, in whiteflash, they would just be under expert selection, not ACA

Good analysis! I noticed diamond 2 has more light leakages (green) than the others too.. Like thick green lines.. Don't think that's a good sign. I can see diamond 3 "hearts", although they are not symmetrical. Does that mean its not a H&A already?

Hi Guys,

Hard to say.. Depends on what cut you want.. If you want a perfect cut, the Super Ideal would be priced differently. If you want second grade cuts it would be cheape..

First, you need to understand the basic 4Cs first, as well as the type of ring setting (it can affect the price, depending on the complexity)

Video Of how the ring process was made from start to end

In the video above, we show how the ring starts off with an initial sketch. Some of you may think, why do we need to make a whole ring right from scratch again even though it's an existing design? Each ring has a different diamond shape / size & ring size, using rings that has been pre-made and simply fitting the diamond in would result in an odd shaped ring. Prongs may be too big / too small for the diamond, the final inner circle of the ring may end up being more oval rather than a nice fitting round. Hence the need to start right from the drawing board!

Scanning the diamond into the 3D World!

The Brellia that Shawn purchased is then placed into the diamond scanner, where a laser traces the entire diamond, down to each proportion and facet. This is done so that the ring can be modeled around the diamond. The advantage is that we have a clear view up to 95% accuracy of how the finished ring product would look like with his own diamond in a 3D world!

Creating the 3D Model

As you can see, the diamond in the 3D environment is the exact diamond Shawn purchased, the 3D model is designed around the diamond, as you can see in the video linked at the top of the blog page. This means we have full control of the entire ring in contrast to Shawn's diamond. The width is adjusted to create the slender look of the ring, the prongs is adjusted to a safe and secure size, not too big nor small.

Creating the Wax Model

After the 3D model is finalized, the wax model is produced, where we check for the proportions and safety of the ring in the real world.

Final Product

The final ring is produced in white gold for another check, before the diamond is then set into the ring.

And there we have it, Shawn's double prong 18kt white gold solitaire ring, set with one of the rarest diamond beauties, the Cushion Brellia.

I saw this set on their facebook. Looks very unique. The guys ring also matches the girls diamond ring and band.

Did any bros get those twist design ring like this one?
I got a twist design too and now looking for wedding band... but very hard to find one that match together on the same finger.. Maybe I should have done a set together like this.. Any bros facing same thing as me??

You will need to customise the wedding band, so that it can fit to your twist design.

Hi all, I am thinking of purchasing a diamond online for my proposal ring. I have narrow down my choice to either Whiteflash or Good old Gold. As I am a noob at choosing a diamond I hope someone here can help me. I have listed some details below and also posted some images. Thanks in advance for any help given.

cut wise i would favor the one from GoG, star facet length is a little more proportional with the LGF. Thats why you see more leakage in the bezel portions on the aset of the WF diamond

the only problem is, since the clouding on the GoG is reflected heavily in the hearts, that must mean the inclusions is quite concentrated, its very likely to be black, that you can see on the arrows,

your trade off here, is a slightly nicer cut or inclusion

Hi thanks for the advise. By the way I reinserted the picture for the whiteflash diamond.

So the diamond from Good old Gold is consider better even with the inclusion? As it cost about US$200 more, I hesitant to purchase it unless I am confident of its worth/value as compare to the diamond from Whiteflash.

By the way, does anyone know where I can get a diamond appraised and set into a ring? And also how much does it cost. Thanks for any advise.

 

[DawnMin]

its very slightly better in terms of cut... not in terms of inclusion. I can't check the inclusion on the whiteflash one, for all I know the feather may be in a bad position. Because you can't view the both diamonds, you're risking the vs2 inclusions, but cut wise I would advice on the GoG.

GoG diamond: +very slightly nicer in cut, - inclusion is very likely to be visible
WF diamond: -just slightly less in cut, -inclusion unknown

Ermm but in spite of the inclusion the diamond should appear eyes clean right? I guessing some inclusion is expect as the stone are in the VS2 grade.

whats your definition of eye clean? when you look at it closely, i'm quite certain you can see the 2 dots on your diamond as a 0.6, not all VS2 are like this.

Noted. Thanks for your advise.

How about this diamond? It is a smaller stone than my preferance but seems to be of better quality. No arrow image though.

 

[Grizz.P]

It has very bad bezel light leakage..

 

[DawnMin]

cause the star facet is around the same as the previous WF stone, if you were getting this, I would rather risk the inclusions and get one of the previous ones

You can try emailing Casey. They might still have your design in 3d form. I emailed them for mine and got it.
