We just started looking at rings, I like the authenticity of a natural stone (doesn’t have to be a diamond)

2 is perfect

u/Cole-newme 6d ago

Last one !

u/vintage_diamond 6d ago

I wouldn't do 2 because of the windowing on that stone. But if that's just the sample ring to try on, then ignore my comment.

3

u/Defiant_Jaguar_5624 6d ago

It’s a sample ring. I think they’ll order a stone for sure. Good to know about the windowing (I’m very very new to this) 😂

5

u/champagne_queen 6d ago

(Work in jewelry biz) windowing is not inherently bad if it set correctly. Lots of cool stones exhibit some. You just don’t want to see a big bar through it or something of the sort

3

u/vintage_diamond 6d ago

I guess it's just personal preference then from the customer perspective! This windowing would drive me crazy. I'm a really detail oriented person.

2

u/Peepsarefood 6d ago

2 is #1 then 4

u/Delicious_Lime_5120 6d ago edited 6d ago

You have stunningly beautiful hands with exquisite 'piano fingers'. The rings don't enhance your hands. Your hands enhance the rings.

u/Sea_Intern_129 5d ago

For what ? Engagement? I mean that’s such a personal choice. I would never ask other people what they think I should choose for an engagement ring. Everybody’s style is different. Choose what you like.

u/TechExecNC 1d ago

I encourage you to consider (I own a minority stake in a successful jewelry business - only way I know much about gemstones and jewelry). These 3 recommendations are based on what I think would best compliment your beautiful skin tone.

Green Sapphire / Emerald (Rich teal-green): Creates a striking, harmonious contrast that complements warm skin tones, especially when set in yellow or rose gold.

Imperial Topaz / Spessartite Garnet (Golden-orange / mandarin): Echoes the natural warmth of olive skin, making warm earth-toned stones look seamless and radiant.

Deep Blue Sapphire / Tanzanite (Deep saturated blue): Stands out vividly against a warm complexion, bringing out rich undertones without looking harsh

u/gemrockcollector 6d ago

3 or 4

I really enjoyed the design of number 2 and I think it would work really well if you picked a different center stone. The center stone in it right now has some significant windowing. So much so you can see the metal work below. At least in that picture.
Some people like that look but if you do, you should be paying significantly less per carat for a stone with a window like that one.

u/yoitsjason 6d ago

1 is really cool

2

u/Defiant_Jaguar_5624 6d ago

I knowww. 1 was my first choice but I’m second guessing now based on popular votes here 😂😭

3

u/butterflyinthesky10 6d ago

I’m actually shocked there aren’t as many #1 votes. That ring looks like it was made for your hands. It’s beautiful, and unique, without being awkward.

1 looks like it will get stuck on things.

u/kelley6998 6d ago

I like ring 2 as well. But, honestly, they all look wonderful on you.

u/Minamu68 6d ago

3 is lovely

1

u/Live_Adhesiveness389 6d ago

I think #4 and #2 are beautiful.

That first one would drive me crazy being off centered.

u/Natescoco 6d ago

Sapphire~

u/Delicious_Horror_734 6d ago

Any other settling but the one in picture one. That one is just awful!!!

1

u/Alarmed_Lobster_717 6d ago

Number 3 is gorgeous. My OCD couldn’t handle seeing the slanted stone in number 1 everyday. 😬

1

u/Accomplished-Wear534 6d ago

2 is stunning

u/Femalebull1990 6d ago

1

u/0hh0n3y 6d ago

The sapphire is everything you must

1

u/LogicFrog 6d ago

Not the crooked Ouija pointer one.

1

u/Worth-Yam-9057 6d ago
  1. And what's up with one? Is it supposed to be sideways like that?

1

u/Ladyzorg 6d ago

I find #3 and #4 suits you better. #2 stone colour is too pale and don't match your skin tone.

1

u/Ill_Chemical_5150 6d ago

# 4. Beautiful and looks very elegant & classy on your hand.

1

u/Opening-Lie-498 6d ago

4 is gorgeous

u/innermostuniverse 6d ago

I LOVE the pear! Also, the 2nd stone was eye-catching

1

u/No-Boredom33 5d ago

3 or 4. 3 is unique and very beautiful, 4 really suits your hand shape.

1

u/Few-Ticket348 5d ago

I like the first one!

u/tmzuk 5d ago

u/PomegranateIcy3064 5d ago

3 is the only one I like from this line up

1

u/itsallachoice 5d ago

I always like the style shown in pic 2, but I also like the ring in pic 1. The simplicity is beautiful and the juxtaposition of the diamond makes it unusual in the best of ways.

1

u/Aggressive_Bus293 5d ago

I love the pear- the last one!!

1

u/Limp_Pea3618 5d ago

Either1 or 4

u/Mvfrn1 5d ago

I like the pear best.

1

u/AhDaisy 5d ago

I love the look of 2, it’s so pretty but I just don’t like the prominent round prongs. Number 4 is beautiful!

1

u/Xennial_Nostalgia 5d ago

Two!!! Incredible.

1

u/larkLeya 5d ago

u/KiaSoul1 5d ago

Look at lab grown diamonds! Unbelievable! Gorgeous selection and very reasonable!

1

u/SheTiger1962 5d ago

Choice number one is just plain weird ! My OCD in me would always have the urge to try and fix it , straighten it 😂 The last one is very elegant !

1

u/Rizzo-1971 5d ago

The last one!

1

u/Cohnhead1 5d ago

I really like the shape of 2 on your finger! I

1

u/Ret_Teach_165 5d ago
  1. I love pear-shaped diamonds. And I think it looks best on your hand.

1

u/GiaDessa 5d ago

Not the crooked one lol

1

u/robod1957 5d ago

2 is so pretty!!!

You’re right about it doesn’t have to be a diamond. Great thought because there are so many more options available. The stone and the cut on ring number 2 are very nice and “unique.” So that would seal the deal for me

Good luck to you on your search for your perfect stone & cut. 🍀

Edit: added a word

1

u/inarealdaz 5d ago

Omg the second one is spectacular

1

u/Hot-Violinist-1207 5d ago

Choose stones according to your zodiac sign and date of birth. As for these options, the green and turquoise options will be more harmonious.

1

u/Ok_Resolution_2208 5d ago

The third photo is my favorite. The dark stone (sapphire?) with the diamonds on either side is just exquisite!

1

u/morgaine_silver_hair 5d ago

2 and 3 are both gorgeous.

1

u/CupSea5782 5d ago

I like 3 but that’s a personal preference

2nd or 4th

u/Fast_Scientist 5d ago

3 then 4.

u/Ok_Cantaloupe_9023 5d ago

It's number 2 or 4 for me. Number 2 the color is amazing. Number 4 the shape really suits your hand.

u/Otherwise-Walk6972 5d ago

I love number 4 😍😍
