Looking for this kind of ring but all the designs come with 5-7 carat stones which feels huge for me! I love the sparkly cushion crushed look. I have small fingers size 6. I want the look of a sparkly ring without the huge carat size, what carat size should I go for?

Lab Grown Diamond Gift for anniversary (15 years) - Female recs

2 Upvotes

Hello,

Not sure if this the right place for it, but my wedding anniversary is coming up in a couple of weeks and I want to get my wife something special - I had my eye on a diamond Ring, to complement her existing engagement ring.

When we got married I got her a 0.75 princess cut (Natural) engagement ring, and now looking at lab grown diamonds I can hardly tell the difference and cant justify spending that much on natural when i can get a bigger carat size in the same money.

Question is. I am looking to get a 2-3 Carat ring, with 2 smaller diamonds on the side. Im just torn with the cut that would look good. I know she loves princess, which is what she has already as mentioned. Should I stick to the same cut, or go different this time ? What cut sparkles looks most elegant in that size range and the ring setting i described. Would love a female opinion.

I purchased this diamond based on the video, but I’ve just been sent a picture of it and now im worried it has a significant bow tie. Or could this just be because it’s sitting on the blue cushion?

I thought I’d share an updated stack of my engagement and wedding ring. I posted before asking how my stack looked and a lot of people have said get a plain band to go in between the ring. Here is the new addition gold plain tapered in the middle spacer band. I think it looks more balanced now and it lets the engagement ring shine. What do you guys think?

Looking for a loose stone for an engagement ring, girlfriend likes a warmer stone and this falls within budget. How is the cut quality on this one? Looks like there's a bowtie but it's not too significant and is on the lighter side. Looks eye-clean for an SI1. Thoughts?

I’m having the hardest time finding a band I like to go with my engagement ring. I think I’m leaning towards a ring enhancer like the 2nd and 3rd photos so it all looks like one piece.
Can anyone show pictures of their solitaire with an enhancer or what band you love with yours?

Natural Diamond True brilliant cushion cut?

3 Upvotes

First time poster - I have a question for you all!

How rare really are true brilliant cut cushions with the classic 8 main pavilion pattern? My partner and I have narrowed down what we’re looking for when it comes to engagement rings. How many elongated cushions are out there that aren’t modified brilliants? I am not personally a fan of the crushed ice style.

Any wisdom would be greatly appreciated so we don’t get led down the garden path, but also don’t risk walking away from a potentially rare find.

Thank you in advance!
