CADs of New BGD Ring

[alpha238]

Just got the CADs of a new ring that Brian Gavin is making me. It's to celebrate our 30th anniversary. Brian has really outdone himself this time!

Ooo I love it!

I love it too!

Any info on the stones??

 

[alpha238]

The two center rounds are .30 G, SI. Once the setting is made, Brian will look for the pears and melee.

It looks awesome, I cannot wait to see the real thing!!

Oh my thats absolutely

 

[Dreamer_D]

I love the design concept!

I am feeling like the rounds might not blend as well as they might into the rest of the design though? Somehow they stand out more than I would like, but it could be the CAD? I am wondering if they should be a little smaller to keep the scale more similar to the pears.

 

[alpha238]

Dreamer, thanks for your input. I really appreciate it. That's one of the reasons I don't know when the ring will be completed. Brian will have to match the pears to the rounds and pick out the right fit. I do know that usually the CADs show a lot more metal than in real life. Brian is using his top people to design and make the ring. So I'll just have to have faith that it will all flow. He's never let me down before.

It looks awesome, I cannot wait to see the real thing!!

ditto!

I wonder if he will consider adding one or two smaller rounds to the design, like 10 or 15 pointers, in with the pears, that would also balance things well I think. ETA: I see there are rounds there, I'd like to see those a weensy bit larger to graduate the size from the middle pair!

Xan't wait to see how it develops! I adore this style of band. I know you will love wearing it, the "feel" is similar to my aurora and it is such a stupendous look worn. Totally suited to celebrating 30 yeares of marriage! We are celebrting five years this May

[alpha238]

Thanks for the suggestions Dreamer. I'll see what Brian says. Tyty, I can't wait to see the real thing too. Mrs. W514 Thanks for the good wishes.

Very unique! Is there a story behind the design or the 2 diamonds at the centre? Will be very exciting to see this ring develop - will you get photos along the way? Looking forward to the final hand shots!!! (and congrats on approaching 30 years - impressive! )

 

[alpha238]

Enerchi, This ring is a variation of the ring that Brian Gavin made for his wife Lesley. I believe it's on his site in the blog section. Her ring had marquise instead of the pears.

Congrats on the upcoming new ring and anniversary!!! I agree with Dreamer that if you use slightly larger side diamonds (or whatever you want to call them) it will help the graduated look. I also have to say that I love the profile view with the surprise diamond. I think it has such a classy look overall. I can't wait to see it all come together. I can't visualize diamonds and pearls for some reason but I know BG will do a great job!

 

[alpha238]

Sarahbear, I love the profile too. Brian and I discussed different options. I'm glad he went with this one. All the stones will be diamonds. Rounds and pears not diamonds and pearls. I too don't know how the two would look, but you can't go wrong with diamonds. Or pearls for that matter

soooo beautiful, can't wait to see this on your hand
