and one of the swirly profiles I sent her. Hey, isn''t there a way when the pics are already posted on PS to take them from another post and get them in here so I can have more than one in a post? I thought I read that someplace. I tried to click and drag once and it didn''t work so I figured that wasn''t it.

I love Sally''s sketches, and I love your new spinel Packrat! They''re gorgeous, and I can''t wait to see the finished ring. I keep reading about Sally here, but I''m not who she is. I''m guessing she''s from Etsy, right?

I like the rope bezel on freefly''s ring-I think it looks beautiful that way, I just don''t think it''s "me"..I think I want it to be as plain as possible except for the whirls in the profile.
I don''t know how things drawn out translate to an actual finished piece, so I''m hoping you guys can help me with it! The bezel looks like it sits on the shank and is disk-ish, for lack of a better word, and I''d like the shank to taper in towards the bezel and into it, more like in the CM ring. Does that make sense? I know w/CAD''s things can look quite a bit different, but not sure w/drawings.
She wasn''t sure of my size (oops, I think it''s required to forget and leave out some vital piece of info, right?) so she did the sketches as if it were a 6.5 to 7. I would actually be a 4 to 4.5, so I''m not sure how much of a difference that would make in the sketch part.
Oh, and she said it would sit about 8mm off the finger!

That design is such a clever amalgamation of all the inspiration rings. I love the rope bezel too! It''s going to be stunning! Sally has such a good eye doesn''t she?
If you want to insert pictures that have already been posted on PS, open up to windows both with PS. The difference I''ve found is that you click on the photo you want but then drag it to the bottom of the screen so that your screensaver opens, then go to the other PS window that you want to paste it in and drop in the thread. For some reason it only works if I hover over the screensaver and then move on! If I go straight from one PS window to another it doesn''t work! Hope that helps.

ETA haha didn't work again. I'm not so savvy w/computers I'm a thunkin.
Sooo I was just looking and thinking..what if the bezel was yg and the whole rest of the ring was white? Just the very inside, so it would be the opposite of the CM ring. Yay, nay?
I'm still not feeling the rope part..I'll see what she says tho..we had talked about milgraining at the very beginning, so maybe the rope is a variation of the idea?

Packrat I think I was typing as you were posting. To answer a few of your questions:
1. If the rope bezel isn't "you" then ask Sally for something more simple. That should be an easy change to make.
2. Will it look different because of the size? Unlikely.
3. I suspect that from the top, the ring Sally has sketched will look more like Firefly's than the other ring you've posted. Actually I'm not sure that the taper up to the bezel will look right with your cushion cut. Maybe it will look too skinny? I'd be tempted to keep this as it but I'm not the one who will be wearing it.
Sally really does have a good eye. Why don't you explain your concerns to her and see if she suggests any tweaks?

Packrat, I think its beautiful and well on its way! I know what you mean about the bezel. Its almost like a bezel version of a peghead and you want it to be incorporated into the shank, right? I do think she made an amazing side profile!
And like LD said, if you think the rope isn't you, I'm sure she'd be happy to change it! Its a nice little oomph, but if you want simpler, it could be too oomph-y.
I can't wait to see! Sigh.
ETA: I just read Freefly's post on what the modification was like and she said it looks a lot more delicate in real life and more like milgrain than a rope, if that helps. But its your ering. No need to settle.

That ring looks like it will be beautiful!
As for the pictures here is how I do it on my mac, I can''t "drag" the images like I could on my old PC
- open thread with pic in another window
- right click and pick "copy image address''
- click other internet window with new thread you are trying to copy pic too
- click on the "insert picture" button above the post. It is the square with the purple mountains and yellow sun
- A box should open
- paste the URL into that box
- submit the thread, the pic should show up after it is posted.

Thanks everyone! I''m emailing her back as we speak! I''m just grinning like a cheeser too, I''m so excited!
What do you guys think about switching the gold colors around so they''re the opposite of the CM ring, having the bezel part right up next to the stone be yellow gold and the whole rest of the bezel and ring be white gold? Would that look dumb or give it a little something? I was planning on doing the whole thing in white, but maybe that might look pretty?

Since it is an e-ring, I would do it all in one color - my guess is that it would have a more timeless quality that way. But I can''t predict the future!

LOVE the inspiration rings and the resulting sketch. The rope isn''t me either so I too would drop that.
If the Spinel is a rich purple then I would go with the two tone. I know you showed us a picture but I haven''t seen it IRL and maybe it''s very rich and then that would be stunning.
