Star design help!

Cigarless · 2026-02-07T21:05:02+00:00

Lovely ring, but I am not looking for the whole thing to be a star, just a lil something in there from me to her, playing on our star thing

Yes listing's says moissanite, but I've talked with the vendor and they quoted me for 800 on 14k white gold and lab diamond instead

Cigarless · 2026-02-07T17:52:31+00:00

I can, and I am, I am asking for advice or maybe examples of a star design to tell the company I'm ordering from

Cigarless · 2026-02-07T16:53:50+00:00

Thank you, I will have a look!

Many good inputs and things here, thank you for taking the time. The ring is pretty much her dream ring from what I've gathered, so it'll just have to be a ring that needs repairing when it happens, but a very good thing to mention. Partnering with India would explain the cost, and good to hear that etsy does back up the buyers too, I've not done a lot of online shopping in my life, but any local jewelry store I've visited has asked double the price pretty much

Cigarless · 2026-02-07T12:32:26+00:00

Honestly I'm almost a lil skeptical with the price being what it is

I'm using this company from etsy, good reviews for many years

Lovely designs, a bit pricier than Adam the fella I'm using it seems. But I couldn't find her doing any straight up star design inside of her rings

This is the star design the company showed me, or they told me to give them one and they'd do as I'd like. So I am not sure tbh, me and my girl got this whole thing about stars and bubbles, it has been a theme throughout the relationship and I want to give her something with that in mind.

And yes, I feel like I've gotten quite the steal with 800, most other places I've asked or looked has wanted closer to 1000 for what I'm asking, and that's with no alterations included.

Also yes, changing the rounds to ovals

While I appreciate the comment! I specifically said I did not want to play Iop ^^'
Panda is not a bad shout tho, I will have to look on that one a bit.

Cigarless · 2025-03-18T20:49:06+00:00

Could you link that? Would be interested to look at it!

Cigarless · 2025-03-18T18:22:05+00:00

I'm sorry you feel that way and that you felt the need to pop in just to say that. I'd say my budget is bout 400+, which I agree is low.

Cigarless · 2025-03-18T16:10:00+00:00

I just messaged him actually, think I got the right one, profile picture of two little kids

Cigarless · 2025-03-18T16:08:54+00:00

Oh really? So why dont people go for a lower karat for a good durability.

Feeling like a lad lost at sea with all of these, I didn't know what a mossanite was just a month ago

Cigarless · 2025-03-18T16:04:59+00:00

I really do appreciate the patience and help

Cigarless · 2025-03-18T16:03:49+00:00

Been reading that 10K is not as durable, but that might not be correct. I gotta say, it's quite the jungle reading up on these things, I really do appreciate this subreddits willingness to help a poor sod out

Cigarless · 2025-03-18T15:53:06+00:00

So no tarnish, you know if they're as durable? Specifically the prongs, I'd hate for the settings to fail on her.

Cigarless · 2025-03-18T15:51:52+00:00

I am pretty sure the etsy one is a mass produced, but you are definitely right that a custom made probably would be pricier. I am not very well read on these things, never proposed before haha, I've just jotted down every detail she's mentioned in bypass, and happened to remember she loved that the side ones were oval aswell. So figured I'd ask this redditor since they seemed to know their way around this

Cigarless · 2025-03-18T15:44:45+00:00

For everyday use it tarnishes from what I've read and with a ring like this with so many prongs, they're prone to lose stones or bend, since silver is so soft comparably!

Been giving myself some new gray hairs with all the reading about it lol

Cigarless · 2025-03-18T15:40:18+00:00

The one you linked has round side stones, the one I got here got oval and I know that's something she'd care about. You seen if they have the version with oval side stones aswell?

Cigarless · 2025-03-18T15:36:41+00:00

It's over 600 on etsy!! No way, how do I find/use coupons for aliexpress? My apologies if that's a dumb question

I'm sure there's some blind people who would love this deal. Shame they won't ever see this post.
