Amount of diamonds needed for emerald cut eternity.

[breanne]

This will be a tough question to answer potentially, but I'll give it a shot. I'm a size 5 finger, which is 15.7mm around. I'm looking at having made an emerald cut eternity band, maybe around 3mm in width.

How many emerald cut diamonds would be needed, I'm thinking anywhere from .20-.30 point diamonds, I'm guessing these numbers because I prefer the smaller, longer emerald cuts, correct me if I'm wrong though. I'll post a photo below of my inspiration, one is an asscher, but I like the overall look and size. Let me know what I would need to achieve this look with a 3mm band and a size 5 finger

I think this is a better way to estimate..looking at completed rings. I think you just need to decide on the width band you want and then get quotes.

This one is 3.1 mm wide and for a size 5, it says 22 diamonds, 5.5 cts.

So 3.1mm height is how thick it is between the finger, and the width is how wide the setting is from your knuckle to nail? Because that would be 5.1mm, if I'm reading that correctly. I'm looking for 3mm from knuckle to nail high, if that makes sense, to match my ER width. I may be reading it wrong, but I can't imagine 5.1mm to be the thickness between your fingers? That would be pretty cumbersome?

HI Breanne- when we make that sort of band, I depend on my setters to tell us how many stones to get to the correct finger size.
It's not all that simple a calculation....

eta- my advice to a consumer would be to pick a company to make the ring, and get their advice on the number of stones, etc.....
