I'm really leaning towards an asscher or emerald cut eternity band, largely based on the look I've seen online that I love. I do like step cuts a lot, unfortunately, I've only been able to see one of each in person in a full eternity band, and the asscher was way to small to even count for really.
I will have to have it custom made, my engagement ring has what I call a 'reverse taper,' it graduates larger towards the diamond, 2.6mm up to 3.6mm - I'd really like the eternity band to sit flush in height, as well as fit with the ER without too much of a gap between, so I really think custom is the route I'll likely have to go. Because I'm not able to see what I'm looking for in person, I'm sorting out some details based on what I have been able to see.
Today I saw a 3.98ct emerald cut eternity band, 26 stones total = .15ct each/ VS2 G/H for $16,870.00 CAD - this would equate to $648.00 CAD each stone - If I do a currency exchange, that's about $500.00 USD per stone, $13k USD for the complete ring. I did actually quite like it.
That seems overpriced though, doesn't it? Hypothetically speaking, if I were to create this exact ring on my own, what budget would I be looking at?
I did really like what I saw today, just trying to get a general budget breakdown for something similar that isn't brick and mortar pricing. I don't know how low in clarity I could go with emeralds or asscher, or how low in color I could go as well, but my solitaire is a J.
If possible, just based on what I saw today, what do you think I could create it for, and if I could lower either clarity and color, what could I also create it for with that info.
Thank you so much !
