opinions appreciated: lab vs natural diamond

modeled/printed to check proportions and more importantly size of diamond. 
fuckin struggling with this

watched a bunch of yt videos of jewelers/dealers saying they’d buy lab if they were proposing. can see the value in both

aside, i love the side profile of this ring so much

there’s no turning back now lads

slightly bigger than i intended [proportionally] but i fell in love with this one

might have to adjust some dimensions to make it look right. don’t want the ring to get too big overall

Congrats, dude. I can’t speak to lab grown or natural, but I had to design my wife’s ring the old-fashioned way, with wax. 3D printing is next level.

Sadly, I don’t have any pics on me. I have the original drawings somewhere. The guy I worked with for it was a legend and a very cool experience.

Agreed that the wax version would make it more personal and just a cool part of the process.

ty dude. didn’t know you made your wife’s ring, that’s badass, any pics?

i’m gonna carve out of wax next step. kinda unnecessary after the model but more fun and personal i think
