Hey everyone -
After months of reading posts and looking at all the bling, I've come to the experts for help. I fell in love with Asscher_girl's rings many months ago, and asked a local jeweler to recreate her gorgeous vintage eternity ring with a few modifications. However, I haven't gone through the CAD and wax experience before, and the results don't look quite right to me. I've talked to the jeweler several times and they assure me it will look like the pictures, but I don't want to have them continue creating this ring only to receive it and be disappointed that it has all the problems I saw in the CAD.
Help? Are these CAD drawings going to turn out to look like the ring I love so much? To me, it looks too heavy, boxy, and the dimensions are off. Is that just an artifact of CAD/wax and it'll be fine when they make it...? I have seen some great advice from Gypsy and others.. and I could use some!
I gave them many many pictures and the original info that it was size 7 and approx 2mm, with single cut stones.
The changes requested were to make it size 4.75, add a small sizing bar, and make it 3mm if it wouldn't change the dimensions. (I think it did.)

The CAD and wax ring
We included this image in the last message we sent them to try to clarify the issues we are worried about. Things that seem off to us:
1. height of the ring is taller than the original and throws the dimensions off
2. the diamonds look like they are mounted very low inside the setting instead of flush
3. it looks very heavy, blocky, and square. Asscher_girl's looks like maybe the settings are slightly rectangular and is much lighter.
4. the sizing bar is too long..?
Any thoughts on whether this ring will actually turn out right or not?
Thanks very much!
