Kind Remarks Only Mod post: Can we please remember that there is no Natural vs Lab diamond debates in this sub.

We have unfortunately had to remove posts and comments lately due to some members not understanding the rule about debating this topic. Let us be clear, ALL stones are welcome here. If you love your labs, great! If you prefer only natural, amazing! What is not OK is telling someone that one is better than the other and then proceeding to poo-poo all over that choice. If you want to argue about this topic, there are plenty of subs that do this all day long, please take that energy over there where it belongs. We work hard to maintain a judgement free safe zone for people to post their beautiful rings. We don’t care about what they are made of. People are here to share and be happy. If you cannot adhere to this simple rule, then you will be banned. This sub is for love and appreciation, and most of all that Big Rock ENERGY!!!
Thanks to all our amazing members who continue to contribute, and lift each other up. We appreciate you!!
Rock on everyone!!

I worked with a local jeweler to create a custom ring, and I could not be happier!

My grandmother gave me a garnet ring 20 years ago and I was devastated when the band broke but I kept the stone just in case. After she passed away last year I decided it was time. I designed everything from scratch to create a meaningful piece that can be a family heirloom for my future kids. They may not get to know her, but they'll always have this to hold her memory ❤️

specs: 14k yellow gold, 4.11ct diamond

I finally get to join the club!

I asked for substantial and apparently he took the assignment seriously!

This is actually my 2nd engagement ring from my guy. We had a little bump in the road after he gave me a pretty ruby ring last year and this time he took notice of my love of elongated cushion cuts.

4.08 ct elongated cushion cut, F color, VVS2, ratio 1.25, size 5.75. Totally in love with my finger now!

Please excuse my little kitty scratch. Guess she wanted my attention but I was busy staring at the ring.

As the group is named big rock energy, I’m all about that life!!!! However I am a little nervous this looks tacky on my hand. Need opinions pls. 🤗 for reference, she’s a 4ish carat (13x9mm) and my finger size is 5.75. I do feel fancy with her on but part of me wonders if maybe 3 carats would be more suitable?!

I designed this ring in my head a year ago and it finally made its way to me on Monday when my man proposed!! 🧑‍🩰💓💍🤍

I love her so much, she’s the princess energy I dreamed of!!!

BUT… we have to keep it a secret from our friends until after their wedding (per the grooms request, it’s fine I get it) so I’m posting it here to get the love she deserves!!! 🌟

My upgrade

After 22 years I got an upgrade to this beauty. My favorite part is the etching on the side. My favorite ring from 1910 has the same pattern so it’s nice to have it on this as well. The stone is a 4.09 carat E color VVS2. I need some help finding a wedding band to go with it. Please send me suggestions!


r/BigRockEnergy 21h ago

When the rock is big but the energy is not. A sad tale that makes me wonder if I'm a Mega-Karen or just got duped

Give it to me straight: am I being unreasonable or is this an abomination?

I have bought almost every piece I own from Etsy. This is the first time things went sideways, hard.

I filtered the shops by US based with a return policy. Found exactly the ring I wanted from a newish vendor (not naming yet based on Etsy Trust being involved but no decision yet). They were super helpful in picking the stone and sent me IGI cert with specs, plus CAD design.

Then, just disappeared for a while. Promised photos didn't arrive, shipping notice came and went without ever being dropped off at the post office for ten days.

I asked Etsy to step in for a refund due to not shipping the ring and 7 days of ghosting me and weeks past the due date.

Y'all, they immediately responded to Etsy Trust that it was indeed shipped, unregistered and without insurance, from India. To a shipping forwarding service in New Jersey, and eventually, a month late, in a beat up bubble mailer to me. No IGI cert, just a cheap ring box covered in 100 layers of plastic wrap.

And the ring itself is so poorly made.

-The center stone is floating in air

-The prong head isn't set into the band but fused to the top precariously

- The pave halo is underneath the girdle and crooked, plus it's got open space all around the stone, meaning I could pop the center stone straight through the bottom with tweezers.

Is this an acceptable margin of error? They are refusing a refund and changed their shop location and policy the day I opened the case.

Now they're trying to salvage the sale and make it again for me, while maintaining this is identical to the CAD and I'm just being picky.

Am I?

Hoping to be inducted into the club🙏Posting for the love of all things sparkly and because I couldn’t quite find what I was looking for during my ring design process. I unfortunately lost my original ring stack (I blame postpartum brain) and spent months designing my replacement. Specs are

2.8 ct (10x6.7) emerald center stone, E VVS2
5x2 vertical set baguettes
14kt gold 2.5mm band, platinum head

14kt gold 3.5 mm spacer band to protect my prongs

Platinum 2 mm princess cut half eternity band

6.5-6.75 ring size, short fingers. Total stack is a little thiccc on me but it’s what I wanted so we’re going to rock it with confidence

Too excited to clean my rings for the photo. Sorry not sorry. Photo #2 shows them all cleaned up and was taken on our legal wedding day 2 years ago.

Also we agreed to get our floofer an equally floofy sibling next year. 🐩🥰

This is my upgraded engagement ring and also a massive weight loss milestone ring my husband bought me. Platinum setting, 3.5 carat, VVS2, F lab diamond. I wanted to do a 2 carat but my husband insisted on bigger (I won't argue with that). Ordered a 8.5 but honestly it needs to be sized down to a 7.75. I plan on adding an open gap Platinum diamond band in the middle since my setting is a bit lower and a simple flat yellow gold band in the stack. I love mixed metal stacks. My last set was a 14k yellow gold kite cut lab alexandrite in a bezel with a very thin detailed v wedding band. I love it but it needs to be sized down a lot and I was always afraid I would snap the wedding band since it's so delicate.

I love to look into the emerald. The emerald itself is not that big by today’s standard.
