So this is what I ended up doing. The style of ring is one I love because they are so comfortable. So I imagine I will get much more wear out of this one, once it arrives. These are DK's glamour shots.
I have a short & long term project in the works!
We plan on re-purposing the 0.3ct round diamond from my original engagement ring, most likely into a bezel dbty style pendant. Because my next project will be in platinum I’m thinking this pendant will be in 18kt rose gold…
For our 10th anniversary (in 2 years time!!) I want a platinum emerald cut pendant. I tried this one on & it was 0.6ct. It was stunning.
I totally get the frenchie obsesh now!

I posted this in another thread but may as well put it here as well. I know I want an eternity or 3/4 eternity in a white metal for my index and middle finger. I don't want it to read as a wedding band. I'm deciding between a pricey option, a much less pricey option, and waiting to see what else comes around. If anyone knows any other rings in a 7.5-7.75 that would fit the requirement, let me know! Otherwise:
Cheap option, 3.1mm wide, with 13 4mm x 2mm unheated pastel sapphires and 13 2mm x 1mm baguettes. These are all colors I wear in my real life so it's versatile for me in that sense. I worry this ring will look too prong-y plus it unsurprisingly doesn't look as expensive as the expensive option:
Expensive option, which is a little over 3x the price of the cheap one and the most I would have spent on a piece of jewelry. It's 5.8mm wide and an estimated ~3ctw French cuts and 0.75ctw round brilliants, F-G color. I worry this is "too much" for me in formality, vibe, cost, etc. plus it would probably overshadow anything I would wear on the same hand. But it's 3ctw of French cuts so that's pretty amazing!
Both are secondhand and would be returnable and I've been thinking about them for a while, so that's something. I'm debating ordering both and then returning at least one in the same credit card cycle.....
I have big hands with long fingers. Here's a ~4mm emerald band on my middle finger to give some idea of scale on me:

Loving all these concepts and sparkling dreams.
Since creating my first custom piece SMTB thread for my recent pendant, I ended up pretty sick with my first confirmed case of COVID, and am resting waiting to see how things shake out in terms of long-term recovery.
I'm creating a custom ring setting for a little old mine cut diamond I have. It will feature pave set single cut stones in an Art Deco style like a smaller scale version of these diamond rings. This will fill my desire for a diamond encrusted Deco piece.
I'm having a diamond eternity ring custom made. I will use the diamonds from two half-eternity rings. The one belonged to me and the other one to my late mom. I'm planning on wearing this ring as my wedding band on most days. My wedding anniversary was very recently and DH offered to give me the funds needed to pay for the construction of the ring.
I'm very excited about this project because the ring will hold huge sentimental value for me.
My jeweler is working on the design and sent me some photos. I can't wait for this to be finished and on my finger! I'm so happy!!!!
Yes, I just have a couple of video screengrabs, though. The diamond is a little chunky faceted, pillow-shaped stone. The ring will be made by Sako at Cicada / Old Miner Jewelry.
One of the diamonds I bought for my five stone arrived and it’s a great match!! I’ll post more details over in my anniversary ring thread. Super stoked it worked out! New stone is the .54 K VS2.
