I just talked to Larry Van Craeynest for an hour. With his help, I finally narrowed my ring choices down to three. They all taper from the top to the bottom for comfort reason. The ring will be in rose gold, size 8 or 8.25.
All these rings are all so beautiful that it's really hard to make a decision...hence the poll...please vote for your favorite! Btw, Larry confirmed that he would make the ring using the die-striking method. I feel so relieved after hearing that, but saddened that the art of die-striking might be lost going forward.
First, here is everyone together --

Then, the big individual pictures are below.
#1. 456, 3mm --
This is Larry's favorite. He said the patten on this one is simple, and easy to read. It doesn't require a loupe to see all the details.

#2. 488, 3mm --
According to Larry, this one is heavier, stronger, and more detailed than #1. He said this one would require a loupe to see all the details.

#3. 558-large, 4mm, with OMC or OEC, not princess diamonds --
Larry said that OMC's and OEC's would look beautiful in this one, but I only have a picture (taken by Love In Bloom) with princess cut diamonds, so it requires a little imagination here.. It's the top one in LIB's handshot, and the right one in the pendant picture.
