Hi All,
I could use help on this CAD. I am looking to create a ring with a halo similar to the Tiffany Soleste, which I was a able to try on at the store with pretty much exactly the same sized center stone as mine so it was perfect for reference. The center stone of the soleste I tried on was 8.3mm (mine is 8.28mm) and the total width was 10.19, so including the metal the melee stones must be less than 1mm. The CAD that was created for me is also 10.19mm in width and is using .8mm melee stones but there are 26 on my CAD instead of 24 on the soleste (if I am counting correctly?) so I’m thinking the soleste melee were a tiny bit bigger? I know I’ve gotten a little lost in the details and I am not concerned that it is an exact replica but rather I want to try and capture the “look”/ proportions of the center stone to the melee. Here are some pictures of the soleste on my finger and here are the CADs.
QUESTIONS: do you think the melee need to be a little bigger - for e.g. 0.9mm or 1mm stones or do you think the .8mm stones are a good choice to achieve the look I am going after? Do you think .8 mm melee will be too small to show much sparkle? Do you think they are so small they will be kind of buried in the metal of the prongs? Also as I understand The CADs always look more bulky and show more metal than it will in real life....
thank you in advance for any input!
