Engagement Rings for 2024 & 2025 showing 10 designs & WHY?

 I saw these 2024 &2025 Engagement rings on a jewellery website and I feel that I want to put some of my thoughts into what I feel towards them.

 I try not to mention the creator's name nor the costs for those diamonds but suffice it to say these are just spectacular and original. The jewellery site did report that "what was old, is now new again".

======================================

The ring on the left is an "Old Fashioned Cut" stone, how did I know this? The Culet point was removed. Many of the facets we not completed during the Diamond Polishing process, this shows that this diamond was from the last century (1900's).

 At each corner of the 6-cornered pattern, the designer chose to have a larger diamond. This was to give more emphasis to a 6-cornered design. Good idea!

  The other stone-setting techniques will be discussed further in this essay.

 I enjoy the thick and protective "V" shaped 2 claws as this gives maximum protection to the most vulnerable areas of the Marquise. The 'wide, side claws' also protect the widest part of the stone giving maximum security to this 3.25-carat diamond.

 The Blue-stone bezels were correctly Full-Bezel set and they were Bright-Cut. The four claws just seem to blend in towards the centre stone. Job well done!

 This Full Bezel seems to make the Marquise diamond look wider as well as longer. It also fully protects all areas of this precious diamond. The three diamonds were set in white gold, which is why the white gold ring is a perfect match for a 'near-colourless' diamond. The inside of the 3 Full Bezels were Bright Cut.

  All of the sharp corners of this diamond are fully protected by 18karat gold. There are no sharp edges anywhere to be seen.

 Even though the Engagement ring is yellow, the Diamond Bezel is white gold. It is an 'unwritten rule' never to set a white gemstone into a yellow bezel, why is that? The diamond will pick up the colour of the gold-yellow bezel, thus giving the diamond a 'false colour.'

 This ring totally fascinated me as all of the diamonds are of a Yellow tint. Thus having the diamonds blend in with the gold.

 Do you notice that there's a "Milgrain effect" around the Full Bezel of the large 3.25-carat diamond? A truly remarkable skill is keeping the Milgrain tool on the edge of the bezel wall. WOW!

 The claws that are holding the shoulder stones were split into two claws. Thus giving 'double security' to every stone.

 In keeping this insanely expensive Emerald-Cut Diamond safe and secure, the designer chose very wide claws. These claws give extra strength and protect the four corners. (I personally wouldn't choose yellow gold on a white diamond).  There would be a 'negative colour' reading for the Diamond Appraiser and the appraiser might even ask that the stone be removed to get an accurate GIA report.
