Advice on a custom ring?

I absolutely love the way the prongs on the custom work look. I also like the scroll work on the side. My only ''concern'' for the ring is what would you do for a wedding band. Does your girlfriend have issues with a band not sitting flush like Tacori would allow for? I truly do prefer the custom job in every single way other than that. I think they did beautiful work!

Got to ditto this! I would definitly take the custom work. The prongs are gorgeous and so unique (even if you do see less
of the stone you see lovely prong work). The engraving on the side is lovely and NOT overdone. The top view is very similar
to the tacori (except more prongs) so whats not for your GF to like there.

For a wedding band I would consider a band similar to the shank you have on the e-ring with the scroll work on the side. Or
you could do something with scrollwork on the top with small (melee diamonds in the middle rounded part of the scroll work.)

I think both rings are beautiful! I love the celtic knots, they are very pretty.

Your girlfriend is very lucky to have found someone who has put so much thought into it.

What did you decide?
 
I LOVE that custom ring! The prongs are so original and who wouldn''t want a one-of-a-kind ring like that? I''m not even Irish and those prongs took my breath away. And agree with the idea of a matte finish for the band to match the side better, but that''s something your gf could decide once she sees it.

Would love to hear what you ended up choosing!
 
I would choose the custom ring. It is stunning

I think the custom ring is stunning. I don''t know which you should go for, because I don''t know her personality. But if it were me, I''d be thrilled with the celtic ring... it''s a work of art.
 
Wow, the custom ring is gorgeous!!! That is very nice custom work.

Who is the jeweler who did this work, just curious. I personally think it looks tons better than the Tacori. Its gorgeous
 
Is this an engagement ring?

For what it''s worth, I don''t think the ring is too thin. especially if she will be putting the wedding ring next to it i asssume and the designer/goldsmith has taken this into account?

The prongs are fine and if she doesn''t like them, I''m sure the maker will be happy to offer a solution

and the scroll work is incredible and the side design looks great in (is that rose gold?)

I''m sure the goldsmith decided to make the ring because he was confidant in the design and feels he can either sell this ring to you or, make you another one and use this as a model so you shouldn''t feel pressured to buy "this" ring and i''m sure he would be very happy to make one to your girl''s specifications...

your goldsmith does nice work, please send him or her my compliments.

i love the custom ring you had done. the prongs are beautiful and the scroll work is fabulous. i think the celtic one blows the tacori away. i really don''t like the tacori side view of the prongs....i''m sure whatever you choose she will love.

By the way, the detail on the custom ring is gorgeous. That basket is the most unique celtic piece I have ever seen, and I love the shank detail. Lovely heirloom quality piece!
