So wth am I supposed to do for the next few weeks until she tells me to send my stone????!!! (I mean aside from figuring out what lucida's deal is :naughty::lol: and I am already bored with that).

I've stared at my ring, took more pics, cleaned it to perfection over and over again... I do have a girls weekend planned starting on Thursday at my other house.

Then what?

No! Patiently waiting. She said 4-6 weeks from CAD and I am right at 2 weeks post CAD. I will check in next week just to be sure...

Next step is me sending the diamond to her!!! :appl:

You must be so excited!! I'm awaiting the wax of my ring. Did you do one too or bypass that option?

@ILikeShiny you threw me off by changing your avatar!!
:mrgreen:

I get attached to avatars vs names too! I considerate it a temp photo until the ring is done. It's probably my favorite view of the CADs she sent because it really highlights the balance of the metals and the shading still gives it a bit of mystery.

Ok! She is ready for me to send my ring to her. But, I asked to wait until after July 4. Too much chaos, etc. For safety reasons, etc, I'd rather wait. So she is sending me the overnight label and I will ship directly to her bench on the 5th!!! Then it will be back to me within two weeks.

So new dog and new ring all about the same time. LIfe is good.

It's at her bench!!
Exciting!! We were just discussing our order too (I can no longer say "my ring" because now there are four of them - lol). I think all of the waxes have been cast and we're getting ready for metal production. I'd guesstimate another month or so before we receive them.

Oh wow, thanks!!! If you find my other thread before this one, it has many pics of inspiration that I ultimately rejected before landing on this idea!!

This setting has been a process!

The only thing I am a tiny bit worried about is the metal point of the non-halo on the corners by the prongs, but I think CAD distorts it somewhat and I trust Caysie to have worked it out. I don't think there will be so much metal there.

Metal is always exaggerated on CADSs. Sometimes extra metal is there for engraving or milgrain, etc. My last CADs had a weird place, and Caysie said not to worry, it would be gone when the bench finished the ring...and of course, it was!

Thanks, DS. Good to know: as the CAD shows it, it looks like some design element is missing there. But I think as you said it will be a non issue.

Matthews127: don't I know it!!! I'm excited to be in the final stretch now though....

I asked caysie about wedding bands today. We both agree that this ring will likely stand on its own without needing a band, but if I do decide on a band, this is the one that came to her mind as not competing with the ring:

I like it. I probably won't need it, but it is good to have something in mind in case I change my mind.

OOOOOOO, I really like that! Might have to think about that for myself...:twisted:

I couldn't take it any more, so I just texted Caysie and asked for an update (the ID part of my brain was just exploding with anticipation).

She said I will have pics tomorrow morning and it will ship out Tuesday!

These are the words she used to describe it.

"She's perfection"
"Super clean and sparkly"
"Beautiful proportions"

I kinda wish I had just waited for the photos, because now my stomach feels like it will explode from nervousness!!!

I also got home last night with my new dog, Manny!!!
