Expert explains ring design flawsfrom @fourwordsnz

Transcript

Three reasons I would hate your engagement ring coming from the owner of an engagement ring business. If your four prong rank didn't have a gallery rail. If your stone hasn't fallen out already, it's only a matter of time. All it takes is for one of those prongs to become worse, and the whole ring becomes unstable. The gallery rail is crucial because it helps provide tension, which in turn helps keeps the prongs in place. If your bezel looks a bit crooked, a bezel should have crisp sharp lines. Anything like this is a no. Unless you're specifically going for, like, that handmade kind of feel and good. If you're not and your bezel isn't looking crisp, it's just a sign of lazy slash poor craftsmanship. If there was a strong bow tie this isn't the first time I've talked about this, and yes, bow ties are somewhat unavoidable across any elongated diamond shape. But what is avoidable is how strong they are, and you don't want to be looking down at two very dark prominent triangles when you're trying to adore your rank. And it's a sign your diamond has not been cut well. We will always better out diamonds with strong bow ties when sourcing for our clients.
