Hi y'all, I need some advice with my CAD drawings. I had a local jewelry store make me a custom halo ring using an 8x6 oval aquamarine. I gave them photo of my inspiration from online. When I got the ring back, I was unhappy with the gap between the halo and the stone, and the halo was completely flat with no angle like I had wanted. They are having the ring re-made for me and just sent me the CAD. The original size of the the halo diamonds were 1.5 mm, but to make the halo fit the stone properly we are now planning to use 1.4-1.45 mm stones. I'm not sure from the CADs if the halo stones are still too big for my center stone. The ring made on the first attempt looked like the halo was too bulky for the stone, but I'm not sure if that's because the halo itself was too big or if the stone size was also too big. I don't know what the halo stone size is from my inspiration photo, but both that photo and my CADs have 18 halo stones. Do you guys think I should go down to 1.3mm halo stones? I have attached photos of my inspiration photo, the first attempt of the ring, and the new CADs. Thanks!
