Opinions Please ! Durnell CADs are in

[sfisher]

Bridget sent me some computer renditions of the ring that she is making me. For the most part I am very please with how they turned out, as they are very close to the drawings she had done originally. I am hoping for opinions and some good feedback. Keep in mind, there will be surprise stones in the V-bar of the head, as well as underneath the head....these can be seen in the drawing that I have attached. Also, although it appears that the split merges into 2 separate bands, underneath the merge we will be using 1 single row of larger melee.

-the inspiration for this ring came from this ring on PS

Only Concerns
-how the band tapers sharply inward where the prongs merge with the band (see top right CAD)
we did discuss this so that the wedding band can sit close to the ER, but it seems somewhat agressive in the CADS

-how low the shanks merge
could it stand to have a "slightly" smaller split

how the two shanks merge with the head of the ring (see bottom right CAD)
it seems to just kinda stick out, would it look better to have it flow into the prongs, or possible add v-bars similar to those in the profile view ( like in the other P.S. ring)

I would probably add crossbars at the sides of the ring so that the bands have somewhere to connect to? other than that I think it looks great.

I was thinking about that as well, if I were to do so would you add additional surprise stones on those cross bars ?

I would add crossbars as well, for sturdiness, and surprise stones there as well would be a nice touch I think!
