Proposal Ring - Part 3

[lance88]

Got my 3D pics! Would like some opinion.. Deciding between these 2 designs. The first one is the original design that I wanted with the 4 pointed prongs.

They suggested to make it into a bezel setting instead so that the Octagon will look more like a star. I like this design more. The only downside is they said the serial number of the diamond will be blocked. So cannot see the serial number anymore. The only way to verify the diamond is to match the inclusion from the AGS cert. Do you guys think it's ok?

Interesting design, can provide the real ring pic when you got it?

This design has got to be the most amazing and interesting design I have ever seen. Love the meaning behind it!

Prefer the Octagon design. ASET looks great! JP’s qc quite top notch already.

Wish you all the best and can’t wait to see the actual ring when you get it!

Tough one but I would prefer the bezel as well. However there are always pro n cons. Bezel of course dun need to check prongs as it’s 100% secure, downside is not just the serial number, it might be less ‘sparkly’ as there’s totally no light coming from side

With your design, unlike traditional ring, you also dun have the option of doing half bezel. Half bezel also works better with rounds n allow side profile being seen..

Thanks! I only gave them the idea and they came up with all the suggestions. I know JP diamonds are already top notch. Just cant help but share the pics here since I see so many ppl also share mah. haha

Yeah, I'm feeling more to the bezel too. It fits the overall look better. For the sparkly, I did think about it too. They said it will be ok. They showed me the loose diamond in their black color foam casing, which blocks all the sides too. The diamond was just as sparkling. I guess maybe its due to the cut too?

Half bezel means that only half is covered right? hmmm.

Yup, I can’t attach pics but u can try googling half bezel ring designs n see if u like the look

Hard to say. JP and even most online super ideal sites only stocks GIA graded stones from 0.3 upwards
0.15 each in your case, they usually just do a jeweller self grading to help u save on cost. If u want to be pedantic, you could ask if u can see it through a scope
The main value would still only be with the 0.4

For update, it is 22 small diamonds (11 each side). Should I forgo the side diamonds and go for basic base ring and change to higher carat?

Budget is below 3k. I thought the side diamonds would be nicer as basic ring is quite plain. But I am not sure if it is value for money to pay for the additional side diamonds.

Thank you.

Lol. Misunderstood.
Well that’s quite personal then. As your main stone is only 0.4c do u think it would get ‘lost’ with the other small diamonds?
If it’s a solitaire, then the 0.4 stands out more.

Again no right or wrong answer, just what u prefer

At first i considered side diamonds with the same thought as you, but changed my mind afterwards as I'd rather up the stats of the main diamond.

I will prefer to fulfill my interest of the side diamonds to the wedding band ring to compliment the proposal ring.

Is it a 0.40 carat flat? Usually ppl avoid these round numbered sizes though.

what do you guys based your budget on? really the stereotype of 2-3mths salary gauge?

Issit? why ah?

I dont expect my bf to use 2-3 months as a guide. As long as its something that im happy with can liao. it is also relative to how much he earns i guess? if the diamond is too big, it will be too gawdy for me.

nothing in particular, my own preference is that i want a bigger rock for my gf hence i aimed for 1.25-1.5 CT.

Didn't really count how many months.

 

[KinoChoco]

I believe it's because usually cutter will push it to flat carat for the sake of more profits even if it suffers in cut quality.

e.g It may be able to achieve a 0.38 ideal cut, but they will rather cut it up into 0.40 even if the cut quality drops lower as the 0.4 could be used to sell for higher price considering that most retailers sell their diamonds solely based on the cert stats and without the ASET scopes to measure the actual light performance / quality of the diamond

Yes, 0.40 flat.
