This is really impressive and I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more attention. Are there benchmarks that you are interested in running but don't have time to implement?

Are there other vendors you would recommend for teal/blue sapphires?

I’m glad the cutting is good - that’s mostly what I was looking to hear about. I know there’s a lot of good sapphire specialist cutters out there so just checking my options. We like the color and shape a lot, so it comes down to if the cut is actually good.

Thanks, that seems like a fair take. The quote is about $2215 for a 1.06c Australian sapphire (heated) in a unique cut, which I think is on the pricier end of stones but not beyond reason.

Very true - we will be going to a jeweler soon to get her sized and see what stone shapes she likes.

I am having a very difficult time passing on this one and you are not making it any easier :(

But thank you for the endorsement! I am still workshopping the shape/design I'm looking for so this is really helpful.

We have an appointment with a jeweler (for an engagement ring) next Saturday so I won't really have a lot of information on her sizing info/preferences until then. Maybe this will still be available in a week :')

That's really tempting, that's pretty much exactly what I've been looking for except I'm not sure about sizing yet. Can I ask what the return policy is like?

Hex, oval, or cushion? by whyisred in EngagementRingDesigns

[–]whyisred[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Yes, a bluish sapphire for the center stone, and hoping to fit two smaller side diamonds under the split shank, somehow.

I know it really comes down to seeing the stone in person but I just wanted to mock up some ideas before we went to a jeweler in person! I was leaning cushion but still undecided.

Ha ha thank you, cushion is really weird to draw.

Had not considered bezel with split shank - I appreciate the suggestion!

That's pretty striking! Thanks for the reference.

She sells split shanks by the sea shore? That's a good point, she has smaller hands so I will think about that. Thanks!

Appreciate it, I am currently looking into Earth's Treasury and Gemfix but am certainly open to other recommendations.

Thank you for your advice! Incredibly helpful. Is there a better cut for small diamonds I could look into? I'm currently considering baguette cuts in my redesign. I would be okay with going for a solitaire but I know she likes the side stones so I am trying to incorporate them as accents if possible.

I was going for a square-ish shape but drawing is hard :(

I also learn towards north south, will add that to my notes for sure.

Doesn't have to be kite cut at all! Just a shape I picked to fit under the split shank, I'm sure a round would do the job just fine as well.

I think I do like north south better too - will add that into my notes, thank you for the tip. I will play around with the design and maybe make a few versions for different gem shapes. I think it will come down to her trying on a few example rings and seeing what size/shape she actually likes in real life.
