Mark Morrell CAD images: Take two

P: 11/12/2005 3:06:37 PM
Kerbear560 Cut Rock Total Posts: 439 Last Post: 3/20/2009 Member Since: 5/29/2004	Thanks for all of your input everyone! I emailed Mark last night around 8pm with my concerns (he gave me exactly what I asked for, but after seeing it I wasn't so sure). I asked if we could do anything different to make the design look more balanced in relation to the center stone. I checked my mail before I left for work this morning at 7am, and he had already sent me updated CAD images (at around midnight)! He has been great to work with so far! Here is the version without the side stones:

Kaleigh Ideal Rock Total Posts: 25,888 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 11/18/2004	The version without stones looks much better, could even be a bit thinner. But definetly is more in proportion to the stone. I also like the one with stones. So I guess I'm no help at all. Which one do you like?? ____________________________ Piece of cake and a candle. ng gift

Kerbear560 Cut Rock Total Posts: 439 Last Post: 3/20/2009 Member Since: 5/29/2004	I'm really loving the updated versions of both rings! They look much more balanced to me! The only problem is I'm having sooo much trouble deciding between the version with side stones and the one without!

Matatora Ideal Rock Total Posts: 8,230 Last Post: 7/26/2006 Member Since: 3/6/2005	Honestly to me it just looks like the pictures have been scaled down. The width of the band seems consistent. -Matatora Courage is the price that life extracts for granting peace Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor.

Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,893 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	it looks much better!! both versions look great. one comment is that why are there no head on straight down shots aka the way you look at it on your hand? to me that is the most important shot especially in terms of how the diamond looks size wise to band etc. can you get shots of that from him? ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

I wondered the same thing Mara! I'm going to ask him if he can do a CAD showing both versions straight down. I think that would definitely help me in my decision making process!

Kaleigh Ideal Rock Total Posts: 25,888 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 11/18/2004	I think having a straight down shot will be the money shot. I would love to see that as right now I'm 50/50. ____________________________ Piece of cake and a candle. ng gift

I would love to know to help train my eye to recognize proper scale. Won't someone explain it please? I do love them all. Th Here is the email that Mark wrote me explaining the updated CAD images (hopefully this will help ): After I did the layouts for your ring according to your notes, I sensed that a slightly less wide ring shank with a taper toward the back of the ring would look better than what I was seeing. I made mention of this on the web page that I put together for you. I've taken some time this evening to change the ring shank to what I believe is a more appealing look. I've made some images of tonight's changes and have also made smaller versions of the new images to give a better sense of over all scale. Sometimes my big images can be a bit overwhelming. Do the attached revisions of your ring look to be more appropriate? Best Mark Morrell

anika Cut Rock Total Posts: 122 Last Post: 11/17/2008 Member Since: 5/31/2005	The new finer bands looks beautiful. I think the top down shot will be the clincher. Do you think the side diamonds version, still looks a bit stripey? Anika

Kim N Ideal Rock Total Posts: 922 Last Post: 11/16/2009 Member Since: 10/7/2005	Voting for plain shank this time around! It's much more in proportion, though even a bit thinner would be nice too.
