That is going to be an awesome old cut 3 stone ring! I already love it as your stones are truly stunning. Enjoy the process. I cannot wait to see the final ring!

[sparks1007]

Thanks all. Very excited. Am trying to explain my vision for the ring so that I can get the first CAD done. It's so difficult - I wish I could draw the thing.

Will keep you posted!

CADs are in and I've already sent back some feedback (see red comments/circles). Amazing to see it take shape like this.

 

[MissGotRocks]

We can't see the CADS???????

 

[sparks1007]

Oh no. I tried to edit the Rocky Talk thread. Here are the CADs.

 

[MissGotRocks]

Wow - this should be a very 'blingy' ring! I like your suggestions; maybe some of it is just the nature of CADS. Hope the fixes can be done so your ring can be in production - can't wait to see it!!

 

[sparks1007]

Thanks MissRocks. Will keep you all posted.

 

[LLJsmom]

Wow, can't wait to see your finished product. So exciting!!

 

[sparks1007]

Thanks LLJsmom. I am really looking forward to the next round of CADs.

 

[sparks1007]

Next round. Almost there! Just some tweaking I think.

 

[sparks1007]

OK. Today I gave the go ahead to start making my ring. I should have it on the 5th/6th of January. Yeay!!!

 

[redwood66]

Very pretty!

 

[sparks1007]

Thanks redwood. Am pretty excited.

 

[junebug17]

Wow this is going to be so pretty! Can't wait to see it!

 

[VRBeauty]

Very exciting! How long before this beauty is on your finger?

 

[sparks1007]

Thanks VRBeauty and Junebug. I hope it will be finished around Christmas so I can see photos then. I won't have I until the 6th Jan when I friend will deliver it safely into my sweaty little palms.

 

[sparks1007]

Here it is!! I LOVE it! Big shout out to Ilya and his bench at Diamond Zone. He totally "got" what I was after and produced this beauty. Thanks so much to everyone here for all the new knowledge that I picked up on.

I won't actually HAVE it until the new year so hand shots to follow but thought you might want to see these shots now.

 

[LLJsmom]

Thatis pretty amazing. Looks like something a king would wear. I guess I have watching too many lord of the ring movies. It's beautiful. Really love the yellow gold. Can't wait for the hand shots.

 

[yennyfire]

It's lovely! Can't wait to see handshots!

 

[MissGotRocks]

Very pretty - I'll look forward to seeing it on your hand as well!

 

[luvsdmb]

Wow that looks great!!
