Stuck on design for men’s diamond ring

[tyty333]

I think a wider band would also look nicer however, I think I would give it a satin finish. For some reason, my eyes want to go to the rose gold band
on either side of the stone instead of the stone. If you go wider on the band it's going to draw more attention. If you give it a satin finish, I think
it will take more of a backseat to the stone...just my opinion. The shiny rose gold may not be attention-grabbing to others.
Something like this...

Never thought about it like that. I’m inclined to agree.

I really love it as-is!

The more I look at it the more I like the current band-width and wonder if the only change that needs to to have that rose gold sandblasted for the satin finish. I think that my eyes are torn between the gold and the stone.

I would def try adding a finish before scrapping the whole setting!

I’m going to get a brushed finish to the band. It’s decided!

 

[kevnick80]

Now, what type of brushed/satin finish????

This. Small changes first.

I wouldn’t be changing the whole setting - only the band.

Great idea to try out the satin/brushed on the current band. I like either satin or brushed. Wire brush might also be an option but I think I'd
go down the middle with the brushed. Not too soft but not too textured. Anyway you do it I think it can easily be changed to a different option.
You could start with the softest (satin) and work your way up to more texture brushed from there.

Please post pics!

Hi guys.

Wanting help please. I have a just-under 3ct antique emerald cut and wanted to set it in a button back oxidised silver bezel with a wide 4mm rose gold band for a men’s ring for myself. Inspired by Jessica McCormack rings.

Two questions - get it set east-west so it looks less ‘engagement ring’, or set north-south?

Second, should I get the rose gold band polished, brushed finish or hammered??

Thanks!

See photos of ring inspiration and the actual stone.

I see only one photo.
very interesting and nice diamond!
To make a bezel set ring you should make a 3D scan of the diamond and send the STL file to the ring designer.
I would do it set East West and the gold any finish you like, If it was for me I would do it Satin finish.
what are the mm sizes of the diamond?

Do prefer the satin finish but I think a thicker band will look less engagement ring like.

I really like the satin. It lets the stone be the star and you still get to enjoy the yummy rose gold color Looks more masculine and less engagement ring

I agree! Love it even more now.

Oooohhh I love the string but agree that the shank should be wider!!!

Maybe my next task.

I much much prefer this! Am wondering if it could be a tiny bit more "rugged" with a heavier handed brushed finish.
