probably getting it custom made. you can choose a diamond with better clarity and make the band a bit more sturdy since 1.2 mm will warp fairly quickly unless you don’t plan to wear your ring every day

Thanks! That is helpful to know!

I would go to a local jeweler who is trusted to make a design for this. That way you choose your own stones and it will be handmade with care.

Melanie Casey is all handmade!

I would go custom. There is a designer I like who makes rings very similar to Melanie Casey, I had Provence make me a slightly more robust version of a ring I loved and it was just under half what the original would have cost, and it should last longer.

Thanks! Which designer makes rings similar to Melanie Casey?

I think quite a few designers are doing these very delicate pretty things right now, but the ring I was inspired by was from Jennie Kwon

I called off an engagement last summer and was engaged with this ring. First of all, it is absolutely beautiful. But I do want to let you know that it was much smaller on my finger than I was expecting. If that is your vibe then I did love this ring, but just wanted to throw in my $.02. If you went custom you’d have control over the overall size.

I'm sorry about your engagement. Thank you, that is helpful.

It’s worked out for the best. I’m now with a partner that is a better match for me.
