Re: Just got my WAX Model pictures!!! What do you guys think
I really need a bigger piece of paper and a pencil.
This is just based on the last rose cut ring I posted- the bottom is what a cross section would sort of look like. I don't know the depth of the diamond, but it seems like the girdle of the diamond would be about 6mm off the finger.
So if the halo metal is 1mm thick, allow 2mm of air space from diamond bottom to plate, plate is .5mm thick or so, then the shank could be directly under/supporting the plate, which would be 2mm thick, allowing for a thin band to sit underneath the plate.
So if the previous setting had a shank under the plate, that's what I'm imagining. The struts don't have to be straight lines, the original had diamonds, but there is a little room for a design there.
