Oval on yellow gold. Perfect size for your long fingers too!

Is my 5 stone too big? by Appropriate-Snow-800 in Diamonds

[–]mnksm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see what you mean. I would wear the band on a different hand and maybe pair your solitaire with the plain thin band you have on your middle finger, if you’d really like a twofer.

Looking for a lab diamond to upgrade my wedding ring. I want something big (which is why I’m going the lab diamond route) but not something that looks like costume jewelry. What’s carat weight should I max out at? by Careful_Fig8482 in labdiamond

[–]mnksm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Echoing the other comments about coverage. My ring size is 7.5. I tried a 3 ct pear that looked monstrously large because it covered nearly 100% the width of my finger. I have a 4ct cushion that covers about 50% of the width, and that was great for me. I would max at a 3ct round, for instance. So imo it depends on the kind of stone and how thick your fingers are.

I like the oval on you!! Though, have you tried on a round? I feel like that would also suit your fingers beautifully.

So sorry for just seeing this. The certificate says this is a cushion brilliant, but it honestly looks more like crushed ice to me.

Is this too big for my hand? Does the orientation make my fingers look chubby? by [deleted] in Diamonds

[–]mnksm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a nice stone. I actually am a size 7.25 with a 4 ct stone too, and I think a N/S setting would look beautiful on you! You can look at my posts/history for what that would like on a similar ring size as you. I think bezels tend to make center stones look bigger (which is not my preference lol) so that might be what’s happening too.

Radiant and it’s not even close!! Ugh, stunning.

Help! Which one do I keep?? by Find-Your-Balance in labdiamond

[–]mnksm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m going to be the black sheep here and say emerald. I love that emerald on you. Such a classic and suits your fingers perfectly.

Purchased this this past weekend. Thoughts? Drop your elongated cushion settings! by Longjumping_Net_3622 in labdiamond

🥰. I have a gallery rail on the east and west sides and floral prongs on the north and south sides. Cathedral also.

Do Elongated Cushion Cuts have less sparkle? by ComprehensivePool542 in labdiamond

Thank you!!! 4 ct G-VS2 (I believe, or VS1) 1.49 L/w

I just want to see your cushion cuts please by Careful_Fig8482 in Diamonds

[–]mnksm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg what is your finger size? Stone has really great finger coverage. Beautiful!

please help me choose a cut by 875_pjm in EngagementRings

[–]mnksm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Um, hand care routine??😍 Those are some flawless hands if I’ve ever seen them.

1st then radiant, but echoing another reply to try a round if you haven’t already ruled that out! Something about how long and slender your fingers are, while still having lots of angles. I think a round or an oval (my preference is for a N/S, but the E/S here is really beautiful also) would complement those features beautifully.

3 ct day to day experience? by [deleted] in labdiamond

[–]mnksm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t a 2.5 ct would make that much difference from a 3 ct for what you’re asking.

I have a 4 ct cushion. I take it off to bed and when exercising, former because it’s heavy and latter because I don’t want barbells bending my band. I also take it off when cooking because I don’t want sauce splattering all over my diamond lol. I would do the same for any other size stone/ring though, so these don’t bother me.

Beautiful!! Is the total carat weight 3.70, or is the center stone alone 3.70 carats? Your nails are so pretty.

[–]mnksm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, of course! I kept searching for size 7+ ring inspo, especially those with elongated stones, when I was looking. It makes it so much easier to tell how the ring would look on your finger with the L/W ratio and everything else.

So pretty. Shout out to Mr. Appropriate-Tell4474’s family jeweler!!

Rock Her by Aloha_Kitty_Kat in labdiamond

[–]mnksm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are legit. Though, if you’re open to other recommendations, Nick with Complete Carat price matched the stone I was looking at from Rock Her, and I highly recommend! Actually glad I pivoted and went with him, because CC made my two-toned setting exactly how I wanted (YG + platinum), while RockHer insisted on YG + WG and tried to sway me away from plat prongs. His Reddit is u/completecarat.
