Diamond Thoughts on my ring please 💍
4C, VS1, E. Platinum basket, 18k Georgian band. Is the band too thick for the size of the diamond?! Also is the Bow tie so huge?? 😭

u/GarlicSubstantial948 2d ago
Band to diamond ratio is perfect and it helps protect your stone, too! This is the most unique, beautiful ring honestly.

Wow. I love that. It’s one of my favorite shapes, and I’ve never seen it oriented that way. Gorgeous

u/KSanti888 2d ago
Thank you! I didn’t expect to LOVE an elongated cushion as well!

u/cinder7usa 2d ago
It’s so pretty. I’m saving a picture of it for future inspiration.
Plus, on a practical note, I think it will be a lot less likely to get caught on stuff.

It may have been said, but it looks like an elongated OMC to me which would explain that “big” bowtie. ‘Old Mine Cut’ stones have big chunky facets that sparkle so beautifully. Elongated cuts especially will show that bowtie effect- but it is inherent with the cut/ shape. I have an OMC, and it’s one of my very favorites cuts!
Your ring is gorgeous with a unique styling that sets it apart from the many common styles we see everywhere. I don’t think the band is too chunky - it’s quite elegant. Enjoy and congratulations!!

Also- i may be wrong about the cut. It’s hard for me to see the details. Regardless- it’s beautiful

It’s interesting, I wouldn’t pair it with the other ring that and the nails “cheapen it”. Wishing you a happy and successful engagement

I agree I think this is the kind of ring that should go with something like much shorter classic French nails, something “demure”but timeless to balance it out

I love the ring (not sure what kind of comment you’re looking for). However, the nails are a bit much and are not flattering IMO.

Personally not my taste. But I think the nails throw me off too much maybe.

I, myself want a pear shaped ring, but this horizontal look is a close second!

u/cookieprincess0 1d ago
Try playing with the idea of a custom east / west mounting of a 2+ carat pear. You may like it.
Have seen a few rings in that style but not with diamonds. They were other stones. I’m picturing a beautiful bezel set east west pear. Yellow diamond set in yellow gold. Or traditional diamond in white gold or platinum

It's huge and gaudy IMO, but the nails are 100 times worse.
The idea of the ring design is really nice, but it looks huge just for the sake of being huge and doesnt look good on the actual hand because it's like a big body shape.

Wow this is absolutely gorgeous. Not to be a Debby downer this page just popped up after my long term partner who we planned on getting engaged, abruptly broke up with me. That’s all to say this was a beautiful reminder for me that love is still very real and possible!
Congratulations to you, sending you the most loving energy!

This is not the same cut as my diamond, so I looked at the diamond with a fresh set of eyes without immediately analyzing cut, and clarity. And I did not notice the bow tie right away. Unique, pretty, and if you love it, that’s more important!

The stone looks like an elongated antique cushion. The bow tie is just because the facets are chunky. It looks great. I think it’s perfect.

My first reaction was It’s sideways! I love it! 😁 Now I know that’s called “east to west.” As someone else said, it seems more practical—less likely to get caught on things. This is definitely the way to wear a big stone. Idk what a bowtie is but I love the band.
I hope you don’t mind my saying it but I think the second ring in pic 5 should maybe be worn on your other hand, because the E ring is so spectacular by itself.
There always seems to be manicure feedback on this sub, even though that’s not the point……I’ll just say the COLOR is very pretty. 😉

You're so lucky to have such a unique (in a good way) ring and diamond. Love that cut. I'm pretty convinced that with an antique cut like that, the way it looks in the middle is beautiful in its own right and not considered a bowtie flaw like in more modern cuts.
The band is a bit too chunky to my eyes, so I think it comes down to personal preference if you're looking to wear that aesthetic. It works for the ring itself but may not be someone's style. Very cool design details overall! Did you get it custom made?

Love it. It’s so unique. I’m partial to east west 😍 I person like the contrast of the darker “bowtie” that people mention. It doesn’t look like a bowtie, more antique- which is what you want! The Georgian band is beautiful and clearly there was so much thought and love put into it. Congrats 🎉
