.33 ACA''s

[orbaya]

I''m currently in the process of having a custom 5 stone ring made from Whiteflash. The diamonds will be about .33ct ACA''s and AGS certified. Whiteflash picked the stones, and I just wanted to make sure there is nothing major wrong with any of them, even though I''m sure they will be beautiful.

Here are the diamonds:

Here is the picture WF sent me of the diamonds.

Those look really well matched! If we were talking about 1 carat stones, I would be afraid of the 53.9 table on that last stone. But I seriously doubt you could notice it on .33 ct. stones. (For that matter,most people probably wouldn't notice it on 1 carat stones, but I did try to match my .75 studs closely on table size as well as diameter.)

(Now that I see the picture, I am sure they are fine!!)

So you don't think I have to worry about that smaller table, even with it next to larger tables? Since 4 are ACA's and that one is an ES, I won't be able to see a performance difference will I? I also don't want the smaller table to jump out at me everytime I look my at ring...do you think it's a huge difference?

Whiteflash also made me a five stone, and mine range from .50-.54 aca and es. Once set, there is no way you're going to see a difference in the table or performance.

Can't wait for pics

Orbaya - What a great project!

While I''m no expert, those diamonds look great and well matched to me and I am certain that they will look fabulous in your ring.
I think it''s fantastic that WF was able to get you a pic with all 5 stones lined up so that you could see for yourself. Aside from the quality of their diamond cut, this kind of customer service is what makes it so easy and tempting to make purchases online.

They look very well matched, what a gorgeous 5 stone ring this will be Orbaya!!!

I think they look great! The table would not bother me because in a 5 stone ring because the diamonds are all at an angle except for the top one. In 33 pointers it''s also harder to see and I think it''s more important that they be well matched, nice color and sparkly.

I''m very excited! I''m going with the Kcoursolle look.

I''ve received my CAD drawings and am now waiting for the wax.

I am debating on whether to set my stones a bit higher than hers to show off the pavilon and culet...more of a "floating" effect with the diamonds. I''m having a hard time visualizing it though. Any thoughts or opinions?

 

[Sparkalicious]

Have you checked out other designers 5 stone rings? Maybe, if you haven''t already, doing this will give you some more perspective???

I really like some of Sasha Primak''s Trellis rings ... There is one that has 5 stones on the website ... not sure if it gives you the info you are looking for but here is a link if you want to take a peek and do a little drooling.

 

[coatimundi_org]

very excited for you!
Those stones are beautifully matched. Just lovely.

I love Kcoursolle''s band, not only because it''s gorgeous, but because you can see the pavillions so well. I think setting the stones slightly higher could be quite lovely, as you''d get to enjoy the culet view as well. Can''t wait to see it!!

The only thing that comes close to what I have in mind is one of the CAD view drawings that WF sent me. I think it would be neat to see that much diamond, but I don''t want the ring to be too tall either.

Here''s the CAD with the side profile view. Scary prongs, huh? LOL!

 

[Sparkalicious]

That''s neat! I''m always so amazed at how beautiful a ring turns out considering the way it starts out in the CAD ...

I found the thread I was looking for earlier to show you Demelza''s GORGEOUS

5 stone Sasha Primak ... I think it might have a look like what you are describing ... Here is the link

 

[Kaleigh]

Orbaya if you want it tweaked in any way, now is the time to speak up. I adore Kcoursoll''s band. Demelza''s is one of my faves too. Can''t wait to see it once it''s finished!!

I have seen that ring...stunning!! It sort of shows what I am thinking, but not quite.

 

[Imdanny]

Oh, that will be so pretty! Lucky you!

I emailed Lesley earlier today, but obviously don''t expect to hear back until tomorrow. I''ve never had anything made custom before so this is very exciting!

I''m happy to hear that everyone thinks my diamonds are matched very well!
