Holly: A work in progress

[fiona00004]

I have chosen a setting style for Holly. It's got a little art deco feel, it will be in 18k yellow gold. Here are the CADs. The baguettes are expected to be bezel set.

Does anyone see something that looks off? Besides bezelling the baguettes, I am asking the shank to be no more than 2mm...right now, it shows it going up to 2.4mm. I also don't want my stone to be high set.

Attached are pics of Holly, a 3ct bright pink sapphire/ ruby.

@fiona00004 I'm glad you are not waiting around and are actively working on creating a good home for your beauty. The design looks very classic to me. I'm glad you have already asked for them to make the shank a bit thinner. My only critique of the CAD is that it looks somewhat chunky. I think going with bezel around the diamond baguettes is a good call. Please tell me that you're going to get milgrain around the diamonds and the center gem! The faux bezel look, similar to what your avatar sports, would make this piece a stand-out even more, in my humble opinion.

Actually @voce I am asking for double claw
prongs for the center, so milgrain might not actually work?
BUT I can certainly ask for milgrain around the baguettes!! Thanks for the suggestion!

It will be sized between 4 and 4.25

Is the thickness of the shank too much (1.7mm down to 1.4mm)? I don't want a bulge between my fingers

Can't help you with the CAD, I am just happy to see the Holly's new setting is being in a process of creating.

I'm useless with cads and advice but I'm so thrilled to see your project in action.

Holly is a marvelous pink!!!!! What a find! I'm soooo excited to see the end result!!!

She's finally in my hands!! Slight art deco feel with side baguettes, very dainty setting in 18k.

Yummy!

What a lovely ring.The pink is just gorgeous. Of course the double prongs are for security, but they definitely add an additional layer of visual interest to this already stunningly attractive ring. Very well done and beautifully understated! Wear it well!

I really love her. I still see her in that setting, which is perfect - she is a Diva stone. That little bit of silk is fantastic.

I love it! Holly is just stunning and I love how that silk just makes her glow.
