Updating Dated Marquise Engagement Ring

[valeria101]

Just a note:

There are a few ways to do five-stones with trapezoids: the second pair of stones might be traps, squares, rectangles, bullets etc. - step cuts by any other name ! The two pairs may be produced together, or combined from different sources: I imagine that either way they can fit very well. I know that AOP does many five-stones with such sides; the other makers - I simply do not know their style & stock as well. Take a look if you wish.

I asked to see if he could make the band appear more like this since I really like the floating appearance of the side stones and how the band curves when it meets the baguettes.

So I have requested the stone be sent to GIA since David Klass graded the stone after removing it from the setting which is quite a bit of a different from the appraisal report . I will also be getting it inscribed to help insure a little protection on it. My husband might not agree with having it graded but after seeing such a large disparity between the gemologist and the jeweler I think an official report is needed.

Appraisal (in setting)
Size: 4.45
Color: O-P
Cut: Brilliant
Clarity: VS2

David Klass (out of setting)
Size: 4.68
Color: Q-R
Cut: ?
Clarity: SI1

Did you get the GIA report yet?

Did you get the GIA report yet?

I did, it ended up being 4.67 carats O/P with an SI1 clarity. The clarity was disappointing because it is very eye clean but it is what it is.

I think they look great together! Color and shape are wonderful combination.

What color metal is your other jewellery? I think the stones would look really nice in a warmer metal unless you really want to highlight the color like the M/N below.

M/N OEC


This is a K in a rose gold. I really like the warmth together. LoveAffairdiamond


You can always mix metals to let the ring go either way. LoveAffairDiamond.


I'm not sure if DK can get it, but you could ask about "peach" or "champagne" gold. Its basically a yellow gold with some copper added for warmth. Its a pretty good color match for old rose gold and really looks pretty with warmer diamonds.

Peach on right and rose on left. These are from an online vendor (not mine

I started a CAD thread for the design, we actually were just talking about what metal to use

Here is the GIA report, slightly disappointed with the girdle and clarity since the appraisal was VS1 but can’t change it

don't be sad about clarity. Like you said ou can't change it. Plus it sounds like its eye clean. On top of that, you're not planning to sell it so it is what it is. Nice to know you've got a definitive answer on the color.

Yeah I have absolutely zero knowledge over marquise cuts so now that I have the report I will have to do some research

Love this as an example. The center stone here is just an M but thy did the two tone look with white sides. So hard to find examples like this.

Here is an example of what I would like to achieve, I am still waiting on the requested photos. I really wouldn’t mind J colored stones but I just wish they had been wider.

Gorgeous inspiration! That really helps crystallize what you are looking for.

This setting has a 360 and might be helpful for thinking of the setting design.I like the round under the side stone.
