Thanks all for the help and suggestions with the stone.

here's the link to the original inspiration ( albeit with an cushion centre):

Now obviously it can't be exactly the same, and seeing as its being designed from the ground up, a level of uniqueness is good.
Now, here is the first round of CAD's:


Version 2.0 coming tomorrow, but we've already spoken about raising the stone but a touch, making the shank a touch smaller and adding tilt to the halo. Keeping in mind it will be getting engraving on the side.
I've also mentioned that I'm not so sure about the leaves on the gallery, and that it may be a little too busy with the engraving, leaves, millstone etc.
Thoughts?
There needs to be a certain depth on the shank for the engraving, but the CAD's seem really angular, is this a CAD thing?
