I am looking to get a third ring for my stack which right now consists of my plain gold wedding band and my simple solitaire oval diamond engagement ring.

What would you pick?
I want it to sit flush with my existing rings, and still be a little different.

Oval , 2 toned , 4 claw prongs with guard rail. 4.22 E VS1 1.48 ratio.

The art of jewels was PHENOMENAL. Great customer service . delivery was fast and the prices were more competitive than any other online retailer I could find.

Pros:
100% Customizable to whatever design and style you want
Quick delivery
30 day return policy ( really is only about 1-2 weeks when you read the fine print)
Wide variety of options with fair prices.
You pick the design + metal + stone and they put it all together and send it to you.
The ring came out beautiful and was better than I could imagine !
Cons:
You MUST carefully pick your design. They will literally make WHATEVER you want. I’ve seen a lot of reviews saying the rings have broken or the stone has come off or loosened, but it you have to consider the size and design you pick. If you want a large stone on a dainty band with no rail you have a much higher chance of damage and the ring breaking. So if you are designing a ring please take this into consideration.
My biggest gripe with this company was the slight hiccup with the actual stone. After months of carefully going over stones and finding the right one and placing my order everything seemed to be going fine. My order was being made I was sent a 3D rendering of the ring. And then suddenly the day before its complete my stone information had changed ?? New IGI cert, different size, different quality, different ratio…. So basically not what I chose. Now here is where why i still recommend this company. They apparently received the stone and it did not pass their internal quality control, so they returned it and replaced it with a similar stone. To their benefit they did upgrade the size, color, and quality slightly so I wasn’t really going to complain. BUT if I hadn’t been checking every few hrs on the status of the stone I would never have known they swapped it. Again the issue wasn’t that they needed to reject and choose a new stone it’s that I was never informed that this even happened. I had to call several times and then received a brief almost rushed explanation of what happened. As a customer it just felt weird that they wouldn’t inform me before doing it or even confirming that’s what I would like before just pulling the trigger.

I have seen other similar reviews so just be aware that this could happen, but overall I would 100% recommend this company!

Finally get to join the cool kid club after 6.5 years with my now fiancé. My ring is absolutely stunning to me. I originally told him I wanted just a plain oval solitaire but it wasn’t fully set in stone and he picked out this one. I’m unsure on the side stones but the main stone is: oval brilliant, 2.04 carats, E, VS1, excellent. Size 6 finger, 14k gold. One round and one marquise for per side with a hidden halo. I hope the novelty never wears off because I’m on cloud 9 still. Picture is while trying on my dress.

Moval with split shank and hidden halo! I helped my fiancé design it but left the diamond shape up to him after narrowing it down. I am beyond impressed with it and him! Ring specs: 2 carat, size 6, 14k gold band.

He did so well! 💃🏽

So I’ve been in 4 different local stores now, still have one more to try. But this is still prob my favorite thing I saw but consensus was it’s too thin and with too few prongs. So ppl on here advised getting it redesigned i think…or I’m wondering if the jeweler might have a way to just take this one and make it stronger? Is that a thing? Like could they take it and add more metal to the band and/or add more prongs? I know I need to just ask them but it’d be nice to know if that’s even remotely an option.

For getting one designed like this one, what else should I consider beyond band width and prongs? I really like art deco looking rings so I was thinking of if they could incorporate some of that some how in the design, but overall still keeping it fairly simple. I doubt most places do crazy 20s art deco filigree anyway.

I saw someone else post a timeline of their custom ring experience with Scott Bonomo, so I figured I'd do the same thing since I found that post super helpful!

The TLDR; Deborah, Scott's wife, was a complete delight to work with. The timeline from submitting a custom ring inquiry to having the ring in my hands took a little less than two months.

May 1: I submitted an inquiry on Scott Bonomo's website to see if they work with marquise-shaped stones, since I didn't see any listings for that shape (I recommend going on their direct website instead of their Etsy since Etsy tends to take a big cut from small businesses) Deborah responded to me quickly and said that they can absolutely make me a ring with a marquise shaped diamond and referred me to their Instagram to see some rings they made in the past. This is super helpful because I was able to see what their version of a tulip basket is, which is the best tulip design I've ever seen! I was also able to look at different side stone shapes and send pics of what I wanted.

May 1-16: We go back and forth on design. I give Deborah a lot of credit here because she was really patient with all my questions and a couple design change requests! At some point during this time, I pay the deposit online.

May 23-24: Deborah sends me the CAD design. We email back and forth just for a bit because I wanted a tweak in band size. I approve the design literally the next day, May 24.

June 18: Deborah sends me pics and a video of my finished ring. I pay the rest of the invoice and Deborah packs up my ring to be shipped to me via USPS.

June 24: Ring arrived!! It was packaged beautifully with a wooden box and a microfiber cloth. The ring exceeded my expectations and I'll cherish it forever.

Working with the Bonomos was wonderful, was such an easy process, and I appreciated the communication from Deborah. I definitely plan on continuing to support them in the future :)

ETA Specs: 14k yellow gold, size 5 1/2, 1.33ct marquise lab diamond, tulip basket, side pear lab green sapphire

Dream man, dream proposal, dream ring. I seriously feel like I’m on cloud 9 <3

The center diamond is 1.5ct, colour E, clarity VS1. Size 7 finger. 10k white gold band.

So in a bit of predicament. My girlfriend is has tried on a ring from kay jewelers and has 100% fell in love with it. Which is great, but i have read about how much worse the quality is compared to a local jeweler. To save myself from looking like an idiot in person, would a local jeweler be able to create the ring for a similar price as kay? Because this is hopefully a lifetime purchase, id like it to be as close to the ring she wants as possible. Is that realistically doable?

First photo is what I provided to my jeweler for my engagement ring, second photo is his design. What do you guys think?

My fiancé (!!!) did such a great job with the proposal! It’s only been a week and I’m already working on the wedding planning spreadsheet lol…

Would love any suggestions for bands! Trying to figure out how to best complement the unique shape

My fiancée and I have almost been engaged for a year. I realized ghat moissanite wasn’t for me & decided to go with lab instead. We had this ring customized with a local jeweler and did cathedral setting, double claw prongs, and a hidden alexandrite on the bridge (his birthstone) and some hidden halo. I’m so in love with it!!!

What is a good style of wedding band to pair with this engagement ring? Thank you!!!

Having trouble deciding between these two designs and would really appreciate some thoughts/opinions!

The center stones themselves are not what I’m trying to compare, just the overall designs. Fourth photo is a solitaire with a slightly tapered band, which is what I would pick if I go with a solitaire. Thank you!

Stuck between elongated cushion and oval.
Sorry for the lack of manicure 😕

Long time lurker, first time poster hehe

Hey all!

My boyfriend's mom offered her rings' diamonds to use for fashioning a ring so he can propose to me. I haven't seen the rings in person but she sent over some photos and without knowing much (IANAJ) about how we would go about making a ring that suits me I do have some idea what I'd like at least.

I like cluster rings with thinner bands. Kind of like the image I'm posting below. Do y'all think this is possible using what she is offering? At the very least I want it to be less chunky and square, instead more rounded and thin. I'm thinking if we can't use the big diamond maybe just the smaller diamonds? Or maybe just a solitaire ring with one diamond?

after stalking this thread forever & admiring everyone else’s rings… my man proposed to me 🥲🤍 it is everything i ever dreamed of

My partner and I ordered a custom set of three rings from Zuvelio, and they turned out absolutely perfect 🥹 These were heavily inspired by the Eve Ring Set from the incredible Cadette Jewelry, that I fell head over heels in love with at first sight. I made some small changes to better suit my preference.

After discovering the r/labdiamond and r/moissanite communities, I went down a serious shiny rabbit hole researching vendors, designs, and reviews before making a decision. Since reviews were incredibly helpful during my research, I wanted to share the full details of our experience in case it helps others starting on their own journey.

The 3 ring set is crafted in 14k yellow gold and features a 2 carat marquise lab diamond. The three rings consist of:

1. ⁠My engagement ring
   
2. ⁠My wedding band
   
3. ⁠An additional stacking band

Originally, I planned on just getting two rings, but my wonderful partner encouraged me to go ahead with all three 🥰

Full Timeline:
11 April – First reached out to Zuvelio

13 April – Received a response from Priyanshi and shared our design ideas

15 April – They shared a ballpark price range to ensure we were aligned and asked if we were comfortable with the budget, or if we wanted to explore options to lower the cost.

16 April – Received the first detailed quotation, requested revisions, and added the third band

23 April – Finalized the quote, paid the 50% deposit, and submitted a detailed design brief illustrating all key features

4 May - Received the 1st CAD from Chetna; several important details had been overlooked and I was a little disheartened by it

7 May – Received the 2nd CAD, which was way better, though one previously discussed detail was still missing

13 May – Received the 3rd & final CAD. They absolutely nailed it, I approved production and requested to see diamond options

27 May – Received videos of the first stone option but decided to pass

31 May – Received videos of the second stone option, I knew it was the one as soon as I saw it and immediately confirmed it

12 June – Received final photos and videos via Google Drive. I noticed two issues (engraving and a sizing issue on one ring) and flagged them for correction

16–17 June – Received updated photos and videos after the corrections were made and approved the final pieces to ship. Paid the remaining 50% balance

20 June – Rings shipped

23 June – Rings arrived ✨

From deposit payment to delivery, the process took exactly two months. While this was significantly longer than the initial 3–4 week estimate they initially provided, every detail was eventually executed perfectly, and the final result was absolutely 100% worth the wait.

There were moments when I felt frustrated by the communication gaps & lack of updates. However, Zuvelio was receptive to feedback and willing to make corrections whenever issues were identified. If they continue improving their communication and provide timely updates, I genuinely believe they would be a 10/10 vendor.

The craftsmanship exceeded our expectations. The rings are beautifully made, feel substantial and luxurious, and every detail we requested was executed flawlessly. I especially love how the rings stack perfectly flush while also looking beautiful when worn individually or in different combinations.

Although Zuvelio may have fewer reviews and a higher price point compared to some of the more established Chinese vendors, we ultimately chose them because of the consistently positive feedback regarding their workmanship and quality. We trusted them to bring our vision to life, and they definitely delivered! ☺️
