Ok, so this is a lot of pics, but I definetly would see the current halo tilt in plastic before you adjust it up. ( I think it's perfect. ) Honestly my only regret on my octo is I wish the outer octo shape was tilted DOWN more! I adjusted the tilt down on my spinel after I saw the original in plastic. I'm so glad I did. I'll get pics to show you of that too. I wanted to see more of the sidestones from the side view, and with more tilt you do. I think my spinel is even more tilted than your halo, if you look at the angle.
I also found that making sure they bring the filigree of the basket right to the edge, it eliminates that lip.
Here's some beautiful examples of halo tilt, swoop, and shoulder attachment for you to look over:
Yeah, lol, I started painting them back when the models were green.
(I use silver nail polish.) I'm a very visual person.
I thought that first halo example most resembled yours. I can't explain it but the halo tilted like that just wraps so naturally on the finger, instead of looking stuck on.
Better! What do you think? But it seems like their version looks more "navette" shape than your design. Like E/W stones are still too small?
I'd still have a bit more taper on shoulders, but that's my preference.
I think you'll be happy with going to 2.5mm at the back
I think that profile looks so much better with the swoop!
My model paint (nail polish) is Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy in "Lucky Us"
Yeah it's just a bit off.
I imagine with them all working from home they are forwarding email images from their CAD designers, so you're getting a copy of a copy too. (=blurry)
Anyway, I've got time to burn, so thanks for the distraction actually! I think the shoulders look great, but you could get a little more taper. Here are some random ideas:
I think you are right, the top stone needs to be rounded and maybe smaller. There's compared to a tweaking I did:
I actually love to wear rose gold polish! I think Sally Hansen miracle gel in Terra Cotta looks like 18k rose gold, fwiw.
I just outlined yours above, but also realized your example had a bit of a point to the side larger stone. . that draws your eye outward. What do you think?
Oooh, I think it looks great!!
Do you like it?
The shank looks good, the halo , shoulders... how exciting!
How are the diamonds in the shoulder going to be mounted?
I think it’s going to be gorgeous no matter what.
I’m a dog that refuses to give up a bone tho - if it were mine, I still campaign for those 4 areas in the halo I mentioned earlier to be more accented like the original mockup you did.
