If you happened to have a loose diamond that you were thinking of mounting into a right hand ring, how would you do it so that it didn’t look like an engagement ring? It’s 1/3 ct asscher and all the settings I’ve seen make me nervous that it’d look too much like I had an engagement ring on both hands. My actual engagment ring is 2.2 cts. so I’m thinking that 1/3 ct will look okay as a right hand ring. I was planning to wear it on my right ring finger but if I found a setting that would work well on another finger, I’d do that too.
Any suggestions? Is this a bad idea? Does diamond ring pretty much = engagement ring regardless of the setting? I love asschers and would prefer to set the stone as a ring so I could see it, as opposed to a necklace, where you don’t really see it much.

Maybe you could find a beautiful asscher cut sapphire to compliment the diamond and do something like this? Unusual and definitely not engagement style.

I’ve only ever had one person do a double take on my diamond rhr, then realize it was on the wrong hand and finger and tell me they almost thought it was a e-ring. I think a diamond rhr is fine and can be set so that it doesnt look like another e-ring. Especially with a e-ring on, it just looks liek another diamond ring. Heres mine I wear everyday too:

I only wear diamond rings on my right hand because diamonds are the only stones that essentially don’t scratch. I tried a gemstone, smokey quartz and it got large scratches. So I wear small delicate rings so they don’t «compete» with my e-ring.
My e-ring for reference:
Either I wear this split shank ring on my right hand ring finger:
Or I stack this rose gold diamond band with this diamond flower ring:

pinkshoes: Hi, I have just deleted a long reply to this photo so I will keep this short.
I LOVE you ring! This is exactly the sort of cluster ring I have been searching for. Any additional info or photos of the setting would be much appreciated.
Kind regards.

I personally think there’s nothing wrong with wearing any ring (engagement like or not) on your RH. I have a solitaire (sort of, small pave type stones) and wear it with a stack. It looks similiar to an e-ring but since its not on that hand, its fine.

geedot: Thanks. Sorry, but I have no info on the setting. It’s just a random ring I picked up from a small jeweler in Thailand.

geedot: Adiamor has some very similar settings! I thought you might be interested. They also do modifications, so if you wanted something more like the band above, just ask!

I think you can wear anything you want on your right, because the honest truth is that what is an engagement ring for someone, is a RHR for another, and vice versa. For example, there are some floral halos posted in here as examples, but I wear a floral halo on my left hand, so I would readily wear a solitaire on my right as it is different 🙂 I like my rings on each hand to be different from each other, but they don’t have to be a certain style. So, I would worry less about what others might think of it and more about what appeals to you.
For an asscher, I definitely think of clean lines….not floral styles. I would look maybe doing a three stone with tapered step cuts (i.e. emeralds) on the sides or even trillions it you want some more sparkle to contrast the pool-like facets of the asscher. Or an art deco style. I will try and find some pics!

Here are some examples of three stones:
This one is droolworthy, of course as it is an LM:
I love the look of this one:

Some other ideas if you like art deco and vintage styles. I love these, but I am a fan of that art deco look.

Oops, I did not realize someone had revived this from 4 years ago. Well, if someone is looking to set an asscher, there are some ideas!
