Melissa Joy Manning Diamond Rings - Anyone Seen or Have one?

[alloamie]

I really like the natural & organic look to these rings. Anyone seen or have one?
There are not diamond specs or info listed anywhere, gold is 18K. Prices I've found are between $500-700.
Worth it?

Nup! Honestly, the cut of that stone looks terrible. It looks dull and glassy, could be the pic but i doubt it. You can get that kind of setting made anywhere, I would say find a nicely cut stone first and then work from there.

I think that is possibly a rose cut diamond???

I''m pretty sure that is a rose cut diamond. If it is, it''s pretty much supposed to look that way. I have an family ring that dates back to the late 19th century. It has a couple very small rose cut diamonds in it, and they have that same look to them because of the type of cut. Not my favorite cut, but they are interesting.

There are no specs or anything because the person buying that ring is probably buying it for it''s organic artistic quality rather than the diamond if that makes sense. And I assume the specs aren''t that great anyway otherwise it probably would have been more profitable to cut it into an RB.

I think it''s a very pretty ring, but the stone is going to look VERY different than a traditional round brilliant. So I would make sure to see it in person first.

Not much to add, other than I love it!

I love simple rings with hammered finishes.

I love the organic style also. I found quite a few similar to that on etsy. One seller lets you pick what color rose cut diamond you want and they are around $200.

Here is another etsy ring that I like. This seller makes them in white sapphire also which I think she sell for about $125. Most etsy sellers will also do custom orders.
