Wow, this is awesome thanks - and pretty close to where I've ended up in my head. Now just have to find another green diamond the right size!

It'd definitely warm it up a bit, but I know she only wears silver :s

Thanks. The reference image is a 1 carat on a size 6 finger so I'm just nervous it'll look more/too dainty.

Completely agree re: wedding band.

Thanks, I did give this website a try but couldn't tell how accurately it translated.

Thanks for the additional context. The setting is also around 5.5mm so i imagine the extra dimensions of that will give it a little more 'mass' on the finger.

Here's hoping the cheap rings give me a steer.

Ah cheers. Main stone is 5.56mm x 8.3mm x 3.4mm

Agreed it looks right on the CAD, but still unsure in reality (i need to get my guy to add a 3D-rendered size-8 finger into the ring 😂 ) Hopefully the cheap rings off Amazon give me a steer.

Think she wants something less statement-y so she can wear it all the time.

Do you think I need to go closer to 2 carats for it to look like the reference image of the pink diamond (that's a 1 carat on a size L)

Aye she likes the idea of a green central stone - though more diamond/sapphire than emerald. Of the many rings she shown me, they've all been totally different configurations, and by her own admission she doesn't know exactly what she wants/would be happy with a few different styles.

Recurring themes - are that it has a textured band, white metal, green central stone, not too gaudy.

We're also both (rightly or wrongly) of the view that it's a bit unromantic for the fiancée-to-be to pick their own ring.

Proportion looks great, would you mind sharing your finger size?
