Now that you have roughly identified the general direction, lets proceed with step 2.
Step 2: - Making sure it fits
By fitting, what I mean is to have the band width, general design outlook and main diamond size to be in proportion and harmony.
While band width is only just 1 aspect, other points to consider are:
1. Height of main diamond
2. Number of prongs
3. Detailings & size of prongs
4. Fluidity in connection between crown & band
5. Main diamond shape
Step 3: - Reviewing your design
With the preferences in play, we will create 3D drawings which uses accurate measurements based on the main diamond selected and ring size estimated.
Upon receiving your 3D, you can always still change it and incorporate any ideas you have, making the design uniquely yours!
Now here you go, you have the basic knowledge on how to select the perfect ring design!
