I don't think you can make it more emerald like, as your centre stone is round. It's good to see the OMC protected in a bezelled halo.
overall, I like it!
Thank you for responding, it really helps to get different peoples points of views. Those lines of metal are going to be milgrained, the inspiration for the halo is the outer halo from this ringslg47 said:what is the purpose of the little pieces of metal in the halo that separate every 2 diamonds? to me that might look like too much metal showing

I also feel that the halo is to big, hopeing that it's just the CAD. Maybe I should ask if the could do smaller stones, if so what size? I want it to be proportional but at the same time I don't want very small diamonds, eg some tacori's have smaller halos then I prefer.
Adding a pic of my diamond in it's old setting, as you can see it's not really a round more of a roval or cushoval hi hi

I think you should leave the size of the halo melee diamonds just as they are. What I would change is the octagonal shaped metal rim that surrounds the center bezel. That extra piece of metal is unnecessary. Just suggest that they allow the oval bezel to hover over the halo diamonds. Also, the very outside rim of the halo is too wide. That's too much metal showing, even though CADs appear 20% larger than real life size and proportions. The outside edge of metal will leave you with huge milgraining on the edges. I actually love the design though. It just need a tweek or two.

would smaller melee stones allow three stones on the vertical sides, making those sides longer?

I was thinking this too...the vertical sides need to be longer with more melee in them to achieve an emerald shape.
I like the "N" detail as well. Nice touch.
PaulaW said:I hope I'm not overstepping as this is kind of out there, but you mentioned you wanted an elongated shape so what about adding trillion diamonds to the edges of the octagon? I agree with gemgirl about the extra metal and the size of the bezel. Forgive the crude photoshop work, but here's what popped in my head:
Well Andelain, we have to share in life, so if you will just send your whole collection including miss brownie to me NOW then I promise to send you my engagement ring when it's doneAndelain said:Here's what you need to do. Approve the new CAD, but have the ring size changed to 8.5. When it gets finished, pack it up and send it to me where it'll live happily ever after.![]()

Thank you, so you also feel the Halo is more delicate now? CADs just look so bulky.Sparkly Blonde said:I love the changes too![]()
Lil Misfit said:I think the halo looks more elongated now, which is what you wanted and I don't think that would be possible with just 2 melee horizontally.
Also, to be honest, I don't like the added round and baguettes on the shank. I thought it looked perfect before with just the 3 stones. With 5 on each side it just looks too "busy" for me and those extra stones probably won't show anyway![]()
stargurl78 said:Love the changes to the halo and gallery, it looks MUCH better! Are you happier with it now?
I might agree with Lil Misfit though, not sure if I like the added stones on the shank, it might look better with 3 on each side... Still very beautiful and I'm sure it will turn out lovely!
LovingDiamonds said:I really like it. It's unusual.
The one thing that I would change is the shank. I really think the diamonds on the shank are unnecessary and overkill. Funnily enough I was going to say that about your first set of CADs and I can see you've actually added to it now! I think there's enough going on with the head and the N shapes without the added side diamonds. In fact, you focus on the side diamonds now and not the N under the head. Has the angle of the head changed now also? The N's appear more tucked under so you can't actually see them as well. I'd be tempted to go to the original angle and remove the additional diamonds on the shank (or remove them altogether).

You know diamonds just look better in the snow than in the desert, so maybe I should just keep everything and you can come visit
Thank you!
