Hello fellow PS friends!
I am excited to have begun on a journey to create a 5-stone diamond wedding band that will serve as both the engagement ring and wedding band. I have been working with BGD who has just been fabulous and very helpful and patient in answering all my questions! Ideally, I am looking for stones in the .30 ct range, for a tcw of about 1.5. My finger size is just about a 5 (maybe 5.25).
BGD has recommended the following H&A stones:
AGS .306, VS2, F, Ideal
AGS .307, VS2, F, Ideal
AGS .308, VS2, F, Ideal
AGS .310, VS2, F, Ideal
AGS .311, VS2, F, Ideal
I am told that all of these diamonds are within .02mm in size difference.
My question is: what other factors do I need to consider in selecting 5 stones for this band?I have been reading about solitaire/center stones, and looking at symmetry, girdle, depth, etc. and wondered how much this weighs into the selections I am considering here? Should I ask BGD for other options? Are the stones recommended above good?
I am torn between the U prong band and the trellis B band! And - what is everyone's thoughts on white gold vs. platinum for a 5-stone? Thanks so much for everyone's help!
