@@cheyannematz251 at least you know for next time? You can always check it, but depending on how long it’s been it might be gone. I sincerely hope you can find it, or something similar to replace it. Good luck.
Lost a gold & Moldavite cross necklace down the drain & only realized later that I could have taken the sink drain apart & get one of my favorite necklaces back💩
I hate that couples see rings like these on Pinterest and think they are realistic designs. I crush dreams every day when I explain that these trends aren’t sustainable for a piece of jewelry you’ll wear for the rest of your life. Thank you for making this content, I wish every soon-to-be-engaged couple could watch your videos before purchasing a ring!
I know, I always feel like such a major Debbie downer telling people that their dream ring isn’t a good idea but knowing it’ll save them heartache/wallet-ache on a broken ring or lost stones is always worth it!
To be fair, those styles would be fine for a ring you plan to only wear occasionally/to events and/or don’t mind if you break it. The issue is people think they can do this with engagement rings they plan to wear day in and day out for years on end 😅
Friendly reminder all is not lost if something goes down the drain--shut the water off ASAP and grab a bucket. Most sink piping is super easy to screw apart and put back together without any special tools or knowledge. If you still can't find whatever you're looking for, call a plumber. They might be able to find it further down in the piping. I once lost something down the drain in a hotel sink and was even able to rescue it in that circumstance. Just make sure you have some gloves and a strong stomach lol. Those pipes are gross inside.
i actually like the look of your petal prongs a lot more than the rings with 4. the lattice work makes it look like more tjme went into it. im fine with dainty and feminine rings but i dont want them to look cheap and low effort which I feel like has been happening more frequently so the added intricacies (besides all of the benefits you listed) also elevate the look of it in my opinion. dont know if ive seen one of your videos before but good on you!
Ruining my engagement ring plans one video at a time lmao (jk, these are very informative and I'll have an easier time picking one out with these things in mind 🤗)
But now I have to ask: I'm dead set on either a .50 or .25 ct heart shaped diamond, white gold solitaire. Would 2mm be okay for the band? How many prongs should the diamond have? My long and thin fingers demand something relatively dainty, but my clutz nature needs something sturdy enough not to lose money down the drain 😂
@@c9b7 I think she said somewhere 2mm minimum, so that would work (both width and thickness - 2mm wide, 2mm thick). If you plan on having a row of these tiny diamonds set into the band, you will probably want to go wider, as this weakens the stability of the band.
@@thekingsdaughter4233 Oh okay, thank you so much! No additional stones, just the plain band for me. Glad to hear it should be stable enough, 2mm still looks quite nice and dainty 🙂
2mm with 5 prongs would be ideal, especially if the bottom prong is v-shaped to avoid the tip of the heart becoming damaged. Congratulations in advance on your engagement! (I was a manager of a jewelry store for 5+ years)
It is better than with a huge rock of course but even as a band alone, or with small stones, if the band is thin, it can bend. I’d avoid it for an engagement ring, just get one as a fun ring.
I love my ring thats just a small diamond with a thin band. Doesn't break. Doesn't chip. Cant be pulled apart. It looks dainty though and not overbearing. I don't get people wanting these fancy stuff 😅
What should you look for in a quality band? I'm in the process of designing one with a studio and I noticed a lot of stores we went to have precisely these designs which worries me.
My engagement ring was $10, my fiancée’s was only $3. We’re ultra broke, but even if we did have more money to spend, I don’t think we’d spend more than $150 per ring. It’s just not that deep to us lol. After 10 months of daily wear since we got engaged, our rings certainly aren’t looking new anymore, but we both find that beautiful and deep in itself
My culture doesn't do engagement rings and I've been married for years, idk why I ended up here but this was educational. Little dainty rings like that are such a pain in my experience!
what's a gallery rail? I'm pretty sure my ring has one (it was in the catalogue at Jared's when we looked there, but we ended up buying it from our local jeweler instead, and this was about 6 years ago) but I'm not sure. It's a "diamond solitaire twist engagement ring" but with 4 prongs instead of 6, and i got a cushion cut diamond. :p
Dainty engagement rings … I saw a girl with very thick fingers, wearing a dainty style just like the one shown here… not only was it odd looking on her, but you could tell it was cheaply made and rather like trendy costume jewelry …. Nothing beats the classics…
i’ve been thinking of getting a men’s style white gold band with some nature-inspired engraving. is this long-lasting or does decorative engraving not stand the test of time?
I'm only 18 and have no plans on getting engaged any time soon because I haven’t found the right woman to be with yet but I like these videos because I like watching videos of shiny things.
Why would you even wear a chunky diamond with such a plain ring? I dont get it. Much rather have a special ring design with a lot of tiny diamonds but it's all just personal preference. The pedals ring looks really nice though, doesn't have the diamond pop out as much and makes the ring an actual part of the design. Also love the pedals on the diamond.
It's fairly common for stronger metals to be used (eg my ring is gold but the prongs are platinum), but ultimately if you want a secure stone you need to have a decent amount of metal holding it in place. My fiancé chose a beautiful ring with a diamond surrounded by small rubies. The diamond is very easily visible, but the rubies around it act like extra prongs so it's very secure. My ring is well over 50 years old (we bought second hand) and it should last another lifetime with care.
Sorry but unless you are actually rich, buying stones worth thousands of dollars just looks idk… sad? Stupid? Like you’re trying to pretend being rich?? Like the engagement to you is more an achievement from a checklist than a happy part of your life?
I didn’t know what exactly to expect, but then she started of the video with „diamond that cost several thousand“ and I was like alright, imma head out BYE My engagement ring cost 600€ by the way, I’m not gonna go broke for a ring and neither is my fiancé 🫣
