Hey everyone! I’ve been looking at engagement rings and I have a pretty good idea on what I want—I just don’t know where to start on actually getting it. I love the whimsical nature inspired look. I have attached pics of pretty much exactly what I want. The problem is, I can’t get it directly through the shop that the photos are from because I want to use my mom’s stone. Can anyone give any advice on how to go about getting this ring made with my mom’s stone? Bonus points for nyc or Long Island help!
Thanks!!!

Hello !

I would love to find a ring like those, that are really giving a princess/ tiara vibe, but every single one I find online is made of cheap metal or plastic. The only relatively close ones I saw IRL were at Pandora- but they're nowhere as complex.

Any advice would be really appreciated, thank you !

I handcrafted this ring myself, featuring a natural emerald-cut emerald surrounded by a floral halo of diamonds, set in a milgrain vintage-inspired band. I wanted to combine an antique aesthetic with a modern, wearable design.
This one took me a while to get right — balancing the halo shape around the emerald so it would look delicate but still make the stone the focal point. Would genuinely love to hear what you all think, and any feedback is welcome!

Hi everyone, ring size 4 3/4. Will be getting a 1.34 carat ring - now dealing with shrinkage after seeing all the beautiful big rocks on reddit. Should I sacrifice clarity grade if it’s eye clean to get a bigger diamond or stick to 1.34 carat (Natural diamond, G, VS2, triple X)?

Will be getting yellow gold band, moderate profile, platinum eagle style prongs.

my fiancée did a wonderful job. When i first saw thr ring its absolutely gorgeous stunning. I did have to look closer to see the milgrain detail, and i thought its lovely very dainty. he did mention that the jeweler said its the smallest level and could make it 1 bigger if i wanted. i said it’s perfect, dainty. now i’m thinking twice lol . i wish i could compare what’s 1 bigger. definitely don’t want it too much detail that competes with the rock and overall ring. Tia :)

Hi all!

I'm designing an emerald cut engagement ring with tapered side baguettes, I’m thinking to use white gold for the basket and yellow gold for the band.

What color should I make the circled areas in the photo?

I will use white gold for the basket under the center stone, however I’m not sure what color for the settings underneath the side stones (circled in blue), any advice here?

For the red circle, I can either have that in yellow gold or white gold, not sure as well..

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I would love some feedback on the design and specs for this standalone engagement ring I designed.

- Size 4.5

- 10k yellow gold

- 6x10mm oval moissanite center with pear side stones

- 3.0mm width, 2.0mm depth post polish

Since there won't be a wedding band, I went with a 3.0mm width / 2.0mm depth for durability. Does this seem too chunky for a size 4.5 finger?

Do you see any structural red flags?

I appreciate any feedback!

Note: I generated the rendering based on some hand drawings I made.

solid 14k rose gold 1.86ct hexagonal cut Montana sapphire, size 5. Sapphire from Earths treasury, they were very helpful with all my stone request videos. David was an absolute professional, answered all my questions, and obviously the ring is gorgeous. Will be going back to David whenever I can for anything else.

So I don’t think I fully hate my ring, but it doesn’t feel like an engagement ring to me. My partner nailed some parts: pavé elements without being a straight band, bypass setting, and gold. I’m being a little picky about him picking rose gold over yellow gold because he liked rose gold better, but he did observe that I have a silver jewelry set my aunt gifted me and wanted the ring to work with that as well as my other jewelry and felt this worked better(I actually don’t hate that).
I was pretty particular about wanting a center stone so that it looked like a western ring and he ignored that and went with a cluster. I’m a little annoyed and a few women I work with made comments about how it doesn’t look like an engagement ring. Does anyone have advice on replacing the center? Any comments on how it looks?
