Transcript

I decided to start making my own heirlooms and this is my first one. I've wanted a pink diamond ever since I tried on one back in January, but I did not realize that designing a ring was this complicated y'all. I had to choose the band size, whether I wanted 1.8, 2, or 2.5 millimeters. And it's honestly crazy how it completely changes how it looks on your hand. Then we decided between the settings, doing a low or a basket high profile. And even the gold, if I was going to do 14 karat or 18 karat. Every little detail matters and makes such a difference in the final product. I really want this ring to be something I can wear forever and eventually pass down.

Designing a custom pink diamond ring is way more detailed than I expected 💎 I thought I just needed a stone and a setting… but the band thickness, gold type, and profile literally change the entire look. If you were designing your own ring: - would you go thin (1.8mm), classic (2mm), or bold (2.5mm)? - are you picking low profile or basket setting? I’m curious what you’d choose before I lock everything in 👀 #customring #pinkdiamond #labdiamond #finejewelry #jewelrytok
