Hi PSers, after a several months working with BGD, I've finally got the custom ring on my lady's finger for our anniversary.
Just in case anyone here in PS is interested in our ring building process, or thinks it'd be helpful to know more about it, would be glad to share with more details below.
Reached BGD to enquire about having an diamond ring project with them early in June. Jamie was very kind and has been the one who continuously assisted my purchase.
Having an original Ering stone of .75ct / F / VS2, I was looking for something between .85-.89ct F to G VS for the new ring. However, since there were no inventory dropped in exactly my desired range available, I placed an Order for a custom cut. Unfortunately, there's still no suitable rough coming out after 1 and a half month of wait. It's also the time when other scheduled polished stones coming over from the factory, discussed with Jamie again and finally decided on our .934ct G VS signature H & A being one of the latest production at that moment, which we are very happy with!
We then moved on to the ring making process, which took more time of the project. Since I am having BGD matching the new ring with my wife's own wedding band, it had to be reverse engineer the ring. The issue was not only to match the height and width of the shank, but also there's mild but continuous curve along the shank which was hard to match in style, while it's also not an ideal option to have both rings sit flush though. Longer than expected time has been spent for attempts, and BGD kindly offered a temporary setting for our anniversary trip while finalising the custom one. You have to say both rings are beautiful!
And now we got it! It's looks simple (while the making was not^^), elegant and delicate!
