Hi Kathley, ah I totally missed the top view photo as I was on my phone trying to type, etc... By chance, do you recall the height of your halo from finger to diamond & also size of melees? I'm wondering if 7mm would look similar to your setting height.
Btw, your rings so pretty, looks like a flower blooming! That's kind of what I was going for but without the halo melees being too chunky.
Honestly, i have no idea regarding donuts! I really just listened to Niel's suggestions and honestly the setting looks much nicer than it did when i first got my cads. As for pricing, DK quoted 1650. I have since made so many changes so not sure if the price will remain the same but he hasnt said otherwise and has been super patient and awesome!Shellcm|1438735267|3911220 said:Michelle your cads are looking amazing, can I ask how much it is costing? (Minus the stone of course)
Also, I am a bit of a novice, why are donuts recommended? What do they add to the ring? It's is just an aesthetic or do they add something practical?
Thank you for sharing the details of your ring! I really think its pretty and hope mine looks just as nicekathley|1438733082|3911211 said:michelles85|1438712898|3911069 said:kathley|1438710846|3911062 said:michelles85|1438685512|3910915 said:Oh wow it does look very similar!

The measurement from where it attaches to the shank to the top of the halo (not top of my diamond) is closer to 5 mm. The melee are 1.5 pts. each. My ring in my avatar picture is magnified a great deal, and in real life, the melee are quite small and delicate. Not chunky at all. And they have a great sparkle presence being that size especially since my OEC throws off bold, colorful flashes. Thank you for your compliments and I look forward to seeing your finished ring!

Great, will approve and proceed.Acinom|1438892191|3911931 said:To my inexperienced eyes it looks great!! Great design and balance.

Laila619|1438894644|3911950 said:Looks great! However, I would make the shank (the band) just a little wider, because when they polish the metal, it will get even narrower than it is now.

To be sure, ask David for the intended width in mm.

AHH! didn't even think of that... He did mention 1.8mm shank so assuming that's what it'll measure to be? I'll call & ask though. Thank you both for bring to my attention because this isn't something that came across my mind at all.

If he put 1.8 that'll be the end result.

Also, Does anyone know where I might be able to sell my current setting? I figure i would probably never wear it again so I don't want it lying around. If known, please let me know.
Thank you all again!

Do both cads look pretty proportioned? Oddly, i like both! LolNiel|1438999378|3912396 said:So the most obvious difference I see between the two is the "puffiness" of the detail in the gallery. Which do you prefer?
It's not odd, they loos very similar! I'd go with your gut. If you can't tell the difference or can't decide, tell him to do whichever will look better with the pave in the basket.michelles85|1439000366|3912402 said:Do both cads look pretty proportioned?
