Diamond for future gent's ring

I like it this way, the juxtaposition of shapes.

Are you referring to the "as is" renderings with the round galley, or the hexagonal galley?

Round, the most recent. I like the hexagon, too, but this appeals to me with the strong contrast.
JMO.

Love it. IMHO the enamel will look solid as opposed to give a floating effect BUT that look is good because it breaks up the monotone.

I would do all polished or all matte. (That said, I have a SS watch bracelet that has some links polished and some matte and after a while they all look the same.) Btw, I have struggled with platinum in that the matte often looks "brushed" which is a different look and quite white. I like more of a gun-metal look.

I still think I would avoid the hex gallery.

I agree with @Starstruck8 (and I had not thought of this) that that area around the enamel should probably not be a single plan to avoid the reflection issue.

I love the hexagon galley. It makes the ring more beautiful and unique IMHO.

I love the hexagon galley.

I guess that settles it

I think it's up to the dude who's paying for the ring.
You won't put a foot wrong.

+1 for the round "moat"

 

[DejaWiz]

Y'all got me on analysis paralysis!

 

[Dreamer_D]

It will not “distract”, not an issue.

Custom designs are so hard! I feel your pain! Plus you have the PS Peanut Gallery chiming in about your gallery

But it's gonna be amazing! Plus you get the memory of this fun journey

I love this latest rendering!

yes def keep the blue bristles

They really accentuate the diamond.

 

[Ibrakeforpossums]

Unsolicited jocularity.
You'll be fine, you have a great eye. Everyone knows that and it's why they're yanking on your chain.

The hex design is very manly, I like it. I had a matte original ering and it kept wearing off. Eventually I just had it polished.

I won't stop until I've squeezed every drop of joy from this project and replaced it with crippling indecision. I know the assignment.

Maybe a sapphire -- that'd be cool...

It will look great no matter what!

My husbands original wedding band also has a textured finish and it had to be reapplied so often he just polished it all too.

Sapphire was on the table, initially...but my stronger draw to diamonds overruled that notion.
That, and I found a perfectly proportioned diamond at the exact meaningful carat weight that I needed for this ring.

Just got the latest renders with the hexagonal galley...but I think their bench slightly misunderstood since they also put a hexagon around the bezel, itself.
Although, I think it may be a viable option to pick from...

1. Round/round
2. Hex/round
3. Hex/hex

 

[Lisa Loves Shiny]

I like the original hexagon version better, but this design is still very beautiful and eye catching. I'm just so excited for your ring and hope you get exactly what you want.

I dont like what they did here because you lose the floating effect, i like the one that @0515vision did with the hex shape a lot because the angular hex makes me think 'more manly' lol

I also really like the round/round so i think thats just personal preference, but i dont like what they did here.

So my 2 cents goes: tie between 0515vision version of the hex and round round, i like both a lot

 

[Ibrakeforpossums]

Round round. To me the hex is too busy, the simpler design has more impact.
JMO.

 

[Runningmama]

I vote hex round

 

[0515vision]

Def not hex/round. That’s leaves a weird shaped space … so funny that they thought that was an option lol

Here's a rendering based off their nicer looking hexagon.

If you did go this route, however, I might make the black part a little narrower to balance out the plat/white gold part of the hexagon. The ring has heft, and I would want all parts to have that same feel.

EDIT: Actually the more that I stare at it, maybe not ... oh custom designs are so tricky!

Mind you, I'm not voting either way! It's your finger!

 

[musicloveranthony]

My vote is for round/round - but not my ring or my hand! I don't think I like the look of hex/hex, though

Thank you very much for the edit/alteration: this is what I was hoping to get back from the jeweler. Super gracious you did this for me!

I love this contrast, minus the blue spikes of course….
