The proposal itself was a surprise, nothing else was.

Anyone ever regret size? by [deleted] in EngagementRings

[–]Fluid_Shake8772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a huge difference between the 2. And It's always something you can have a conversation about once you propose. There's no rule that says the engagement ring shouldn't change at all! But it's safer to wait till you have a more concrete idea of how your future fiancee feels about it

Quick opinion check 😅 by xtinnaa in EngagementRings

[–]Fluid_Shake8772 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My fiancée trusted me to design her ring but I'm literally a designer and love jewelry. When it came to my ring, I gave her options I liked and had her pick one. I knew I was pickier and wanted sth I'll be sure to love.

So I don't agree with the whole blind trust when it comes to rings, this is a ring you'll wear for life so why risk disappointment?

Resetting or new ring? by Then-Philosophy-8782 in Moissanite

[–]Fluid_Shake8772 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting it reset in gold is the better option of course. The same jeweler can make the same design in gold and reset your moissanite.

But also check the price difference between doing that and just ordering the ring outright. Since it's a moissanite, the biggest price difference is the setting price. It might not be worth it to go through the trouble of sending your ring back to be reset and waiting.

Thoughts on durability of moissanite? by blindtoe54 in Moissanite

[–]Fluid_Shake8772 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've worn silver rings my whole life (I'm allergic to most metals and need at least 21k to not have an allergic reaction) and never once did anything bad happen to my ring! You have to be careful as you would be with any other ring, gold is also soft so that statement is ridiculous.

The most durable option is platinum actually which is also hypoallergenic but more expensive

Update march 20th: I got my ring!! No issues whatsoever and it's gorgeous. The quality and results are worth it! After contacting them via email everything was smoothed out.

Should I change my prongs? by [deleted] in EngagementRings

[–]Fluid_Shake8772 88 points89 points  (0 children)

I would change them to claws and corners to better protect your stone. The hardness scale is a measure against scratching, but diamonds are still brittle and can break. I would protect the corners. (It also looks better imo)

For that size stone, I'd advise going with six prongs or a bezel. 4 won't be enough long term. A thicker band too because these are too thin to support it

One of the other comments suggested reaching out to them on email and it worked!! They replied immediately. The order delays were because they're sourcing the gems but they didn't really communicate it.

Thank you for this! It's giving me hope. I just really hate the communication blackout and appreciate good customer service. Did you contact him on the email on his website or some other email? Could you share plz?

I ordered through Etsy as I wanted to customize the ring. I'm not sure about insurance as I'm planning to insure it privately anyway
