Hi! This is Bonnie with By Bonnie Jewelry! I'm really excited to show you this 2.5ct
ring that I just finished for my client. I believe he's proposing to his girlfriend of six
years, so finally he's gonna pop the question and we made an absolutely gorgeous ring for him! So I
wanted to go through the details of this design really quickly, kind of just talk about what we
did here...so we set this diamond on a 6 prong and in platinum on a 2.3 millimeter band, so I
don't know if you can tell the proportions of the ring. So first of all the client requested
a non Cathedral setting...so what that means is basically if you look on the side profile of
the ring...Cathedral means that the diamonds on the band will go up and reaching to this point
of the ring versus this is just constant regular pave band, that doesn't have the Cathedral setting!
So this is just kind of a matter of taste to be honest, I have other clients that have done the
cathedral and loved it, so for this design you can pretty much pair any you know wedding band and it
will sit flush on to the band...so that's number one and number two I just mentioned that we did
a 2.3 millimeter band, what I love about that is I know that you know Instagram and everyone has been
raving about the really really dainty, like 1.5-1.8 millimeter band, I
love that we did a little bit wider band for this design, the reason being when when the ring is too
dainty...it looks great aesthetically you know it may call center diamond was really big but what
people don't know is the kind of the problems and the issues that will come after you start wearing the
ring, so the thinner the band...the kind of less durable it is, it's easier to bend, so I love the fact
that we did a little bit wider band and another thing to point out is that, when you have a 2.5ct
diamond pretty much, you know quite large and heavy center diamond, if you have a really
dainty band what happens is that, it will pull it, the diamond ring will kind of slide left and
right on your finger, a little bit more easier than if you were to have a thicker band...so this
kind of just, you know helps with the overall how the ring will sit on your finger...so let me just
put it on a real quick, show it to you how gorgeous it is when it's on the finger... just amazing this carat weight...I love
I'm a size 5 so you can tell how this looks on a size 5 and it's just gorgeous! Blingy...
to be honest and another thing that I wanted to point out, I don't know if you can see in the
video, I can show you a close-up is that we did claw setting on the center stone instead of the
traditional beat setting, so what that means is basically just the prong itself, it's set more
like kind of like a sleek thin way, so it kind of comes to a point on the diamond on each each prong...
some people say you know, they they prefer the claw over the you know traditional beads to be
honest with you, I think that's subjective...it just really depends you know, I've had clients where
I've shown them the claw and then the regular set... and they're like "oh I prefer the regular one"
so it's aesthetically, technically this one gives you kind of a sleeker look but at the end of the
day it's really what you like! The quality of the center stone is F color and VS1 in clarity...
