I just saw this. We have been trying out a couple of new option's. I did not show them cause they were not pretty, you guys said that just 2 1.1mm stones on top would not work, but I had to be bull headed. I asked for that change and DanielM drew up a rough sketch and showed that it would not work, well I am stubborn so I kept on insisting. So he tells me that he can do it my way but that the edges will not look good, there will be a 0.5mm difference e at 10,2,5 and 7 o'clock. I said that I did not care and he redid the CADs.Lil Misfit|1299636773|2867851 said:
He was right, it did not look good, looked weird and wonky. Tip for the future, listen to your jeweler, if you pick a good one they know what they are talking about.
So I finally okayed the last cads I showed here. The cast should be done in 7-10 days. I am so much more antsy in waiting now than before, and I kick myself because if I had just accepted the 2nd cads when they were done I would have my ring now.
A tip for all the people out there considering custom. Get a good jeweler, this includes one that listens to you but also tells you if something you want is not possible and then LISTEN to them. Oh and I completely recommend DanielM for going custom, absolutely wonderful to deal with him and his wife, Caren, patient and explains everything. Oh and I like his milgrain, which was one of my musts when choosing who to go with ( I wanted medium size milgrain, just big enough that you can see it).
Oh and he is also putting a Dan Stair spinel into my old setting.
I had a bit of trouble in finding a stone that I liked that fit my old setting so Dan was nice enough to cut me a stone in my measurements. Lovely and smooth experience working with him.
I have not seen the stone yet, but I am sure I will love it. I know it is not everyones cup of tea, but it is mine. I actually love gray or brown tints in stones, and I could not decide between green blue, purple or blue, and this one is supposed to be all three with some gray thrown in.
