Hello PSers! Well I never thought that I'd be asking for help with a project like this but I'm designing my engagement ring! Thankfully my boyfriend understands my love of jewelry and has given me free reign to design my dream ring. He has made it very clear that this will be my forever ring so I need to get it right on the first try. He's an old school sentimental type which I find adorable.
I have already purchased my center stone. It's a beautiful AVR 1.53 N VVS2 with strong blue fluoro. Rose gold looks best with my skin tone and thankfully plays very nicely with the warmth of my AVR. I've always thought I wanted a solitaire but with a little twist. I have looked at thousands of settings online and came cross a photo of a ring that sold from Lange Antiques and fell in love. I have been in contact with a couple of vendors for quotes.
There are some subtle tweaks that I'm making to the design but the biggest thing is I cannot decide whether I want any pave or not. Before I found this setting I was thinking that I wanted a plain shank but seeing the diamonds on the shank now I'm not so sure. My BF likes the idea of the pave 3/4 of the way around the band. I kind of feel like the way the pave is pictured seems like it stops at a weird point but I also like how simple it is. If I do end up with pave I will stick with the fine milgrain.
I think I know what wedding band I want and will be having that made in rose gold as well. It is a twist band with one strand plain rose gold and one with pave.
I know people vary and its personal preference. I'm just looking for some additional opinions and maybe I'll figure out what I want. Thanks for the help!
