As this is my first post, I'd just like to say thank you to everyone on here for the education, you guys are awesome. If it wasn't for this site, I'd of wasted a lot of money on ridiculously marked up diamonds in HK.

As it happens, I read, I learnt, and sourced my own diamond. I then tried my best to design my own ring in order to propose to my gf. I just got it back today, not exactly what I talked about with the designer...but I'd still like some opinions to calm my nerves a little!

Well, it looks like a classic solitaire, but it looks lovely from the pictures. How does it differ from what you asked for?

But good for you on learning and sourcing your own diamond and designing the ring on your own! :appl:

It's very beautiful! A classic design that lets the diamond take centre stage. Great job!

I'd asked for the taper to be rounded and smooth, but it ended up pinching into a very sharp and thin knife edge, which is what accounts for the quite high shoulders. While it does make the diamond look significantly bigger...I'm not sure if I love or hate the knife edge

I think its lovely! If its not 100% what you want, can you get them to adjust it?
