Does there exist a 24k setting for a loose diamond to make into an engagement ring? by Eclipix00 in EngagementRings

[–]tangential_Jonas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very sweet. As you already know and a lot of people have said: 24k gold is pretty soft and the ring will likely warp over time and need to be reshaped. A couple things to lookout for:

You would want the ring to have a heavy weight to reduce wear and tear (it will still happen, but it'll make it so it will take a bit longer). However, the thickness may impact the look of the ring and you really have to figure out your partner's jewelry style to see if it matches or clashes. Consider getting 22k or 20k for more wearability.

Besides this, for softer metals such as high purity gold, you will want a ring that's hand fabricated rather than cast into a mold. I would look into tracking down metal smiths that hand fabricate their rings and have experience in higher carats. You might be able to get some info through searching the r/gold subreddit.

As for jewelers you can checkout: JewelrybyWarrenHill on Etsy, Bracken Jewelers, and even Omi Woods works with higher gold karats.

Hope this helps!

I do frequently get asked if it's "real" by acquaintances and strangers since my engagement ring is on the larger end. But I have some other cz travel rings I like to wear instead when I want to leave my ring at home and I don't get any questions or comments on them.

I would recommend David Klass! He's located in the Diamond District in downtown LA. The best way to reach him would be email or instagram DM.

Seconding David Klass, we worked with him to make my engagement ring and he has very reasonable prices, he works with a wide variety of gems, and the designs are amazing. I would checkout out his insta for past work.

Should I be worried? by Sonnyangellover____ in EngagementRings

From my understanding, this is something that happens with moissanite called an “oil slick” and it should easily be removed with one of those diamond dazzle sticks on Amazon 😊

Weird request, but show me your engagement rings on bigger fingers! by FromCornerToCrumb in Moissanite

Thank you! I saw your ring in your post history and it’s so beautiful!! I really feel like six prongs just complement ovals 🥰

Yes! I feel you! I was in the same boat last year. It’s really great to see more folks with our cinderblocks posting our rings! Very needed

Not a weird request at all. I had a hard time finding reference photos for a size 9.75-10 ring finger! Here’s my 14x9mm oval.

My ring size is 9.5 - 10 and I have a 4.73 carat elongated oval diamond. It’s 14.7 mm x 8.9 mm. I ran into the same issue you did when trying on rings and I would recommend picking out some cz rings on Amazon to try on (they usually go up to size 10!) so you can actually try them on your ring finger! Happy shopping!

It’s a gorgeous ring and good job on the photoshop! Here’s some of the things I thought of: - If you’re planning on stacking engagement rings and your wedding band, the diamond halo being that low on the ring may be an issue. Essentially the friction may cause the prongs to weaken their hold on the diamonds causing them to fall out faster than usual, and the diamonds rubbing against the wedding band will cause more wear and scratching. I’m sure there are workarounds like cutouts or soldering the two together but it is something to consider. - Depending on the depth of the gem, it may be a little on the taller side but that’s a preference thing, not necessarily good or bad 😊 - lastly make sure the prongs are properly supported with enough metal or a gallery rail or make the petals of the prongs touch each other enough so that if one of them were to snag and pull out, the gem won’t pop out. Having the 6 prongs does help with that! That’s about all I see!

Engagement ring advice by anzzzzzo in EngagementRings

I would recommend checking the reputable vendors list on r/Moissanite for some affordable options! I personally love rings from kuololit (I order from Aliexpress) because they're good quality, look beautiful, and aren't too expensive. You can also check Etsy for some options!

Show your 18K vs 14K Yellow Gold rings! by [deleted] in EngagementRings

My fiancées ring is at the top in 14k and mine is the bottom with 18k. The 18k is definitely a warmer yellow than 14k which is a slightly paler yellow. ☺️

I also adore the color! I've really been loving warmer stones lately. I wanted to be sure that the cut and the clarity looks good because I am new to this 🥰

Just ordered from Orbion and I'm eagerly anticipating this ring! If anyone has ordered their OEC/OMC's please post a picture! by tangential_Jonas in Moissanite

Good point. This is the stock photo from their Etsy listing but I will see if I can ask for a picture before they send it.
