Help design a ring

[shopping_girl]

Hi,

I would like to custom-order a three stone ring with an east-west emerald cut diamond in the middle and two melée size diamonds on each side. I wondered what the best proportions are for the emerald cut vs round diamonds. Ideally I would like to go for a slightly understated look rather the big bling. Do you think 0.5 -0.75 ct for the emerald cut diamond is sufficiant?

I attached a picture of the ring I would like to re-create (saw it on ebay but failed to buy it). Ideally I would like to make the same ring, e.g get the right measures of the diamonds. All I know is that the ring is size 6.5/ 7 US size (M/N UK size) and was made in Australia.

I played around with different diamond sizes and quickly realized finding the right measures and proportions is essential for this design. The round diamonds quickly looked out of proportion if I went too big.

I would also like the ring to not sit too high on the finger. Is this the right design?

I would like to do more research and homework before I have an educated talk to a jeweller about the order. Frankly, I enjoy doing the research and learning about making the/ a ring. I feel if I just went and ordered the ring with a jeweller I wouldn't learn as much and it wouldn't be as much fun to me.

Thank you very much for your help.

Welcome to PS.

Emerald cuts come in different length and width ratios, and I would advise deciding on the L/W ration that you like first, as everyone's preferences are different.

For me personally, I am not too keen on chubby ECs and prefer slightly longer/skinnier ones.

The length and width of the stone would also affect finger coverage.

For an East-West setting with 2 round side stones, IMHO, a chubbier EC would be better.

However, each to their own and all that.
