Hi all,
So I proposed to my girlfriend on Wednesday and she said YES!
I thought I'd share the ring here. It took a lot of planning but it came out amazing! It was custom made with CAD.
The main stone is a H&A, F/IF 1.23ct GIA XXX stone, faint fluro. Here's the cert: https://www.gia.edu/report-check?reportno=1206866540&s=1599285268137
The angles work nicely with each other and the stone scores a 1.9 on the HCA. I can confirm that it looks even better in person, but I'd love your opinions!
The melee are each 2 points (0.02 ct), with 9 on each side, making it 0.36cts. They perfectly match the centre stone and are F/IF, AGS000, H&A with no fluro. These were a mission to find but I wanted the best and for it to match the centre stone.
As for the metal, I finally decided on plat90/irid10 as according to my research it came out on top. The colour is great. TCW of the ring is 1.59 and weights 5.63g.
Here's a link to the video: https://streamable.com/o1wviz
It looks very classic and elegant, but my jeweller assures me that the 6 prongs are well secured and soldered on to the main ring very well.
I also had two wedding bands done at the same time, on advice from the jeweller (so they all sit flush): One eternity band full of the F/IF melee mentioned above (37 stones for 0.74TCW) and a plain band as required by the our religion for the marriage ceremony. Both are using the plat90/irid10 mix. The eternity band weights 3.79g and the plain band weights 5.14g.
All 3 bands are 2.1mm wide and 2mm thick, size 9 (US).
All three bands can be seen in the videos here: https://streamable.com/lpe563 and https://streamable.com/aewdjs
Any feedback/questions/thoughts/opinions are valued and I'm happy to receive.
Best regards and stay safe
