@the_mother_thing sorry I responded before seeing this. lol. I am also Sorry you did ALL those but you never know. You may be starting an inspirational setting for someone else out there. Hello traps-halo Bliiiiiiiiing.
@diamondlove123 I do not think of ever get ds!
No. You did it. I had responded before I saw the prior post w pics. I didn’t realize you had done it. I thought you were asking me what to do. Haha. So sorry. Delayed message.It’s okay; it only took a couple minutes. But I’m confused ... you posted an EC ring with traps. What are you wanting to see that is different?
@Emeraldcutlover Here are a couple of mock-ups with your diamond. I didn’t mess with shanks, side diamonds, etc., but I did one combo with a halo & double claw prongs just to see what that might look like. Let me know if you want to see any of these with a particular side diamond/shank (post straight-on pics of what you like please), and I’ll try to get to those next.
@the_mother_thing. @emeraldsaremyfavorite @diamondlove123 @dreamer_dachsie @PintoBean
Here is a rough draft of halo.
He said;
The metal will be carved away for pave and shall not see it. (As in this drawing).
I requested the halo to be on a “tilt” so not so flat looking. Therefore, from the sideview, will not appear as a “shelf” and then will be able to see diamonds from the side.
I asked for the “blank” at clipped corners to be filled with diamonds and place tiny claw prongs on the actual stone and I will only now do single claws, as I think it will be too distracting.
I think the profile needs to be flared out to the right to “broaden” the profile. I’ll show a pic of what I have in mind.
The Halo may be too bulky but he said it will be cut down. I Had requested 1.4 halo and to “tuck” in under the diamond.
*he said for me to try on the 3D first before any of the above mentioned changes but I was thinking it is more work for them? Why not make them now and then I try on? I really do not know how the process works, thus my asking all of your opinions.
Ps
The Shank is 1.75mm pave diamonds 3/4 around. Should I go thinner?
Also the basket will have 1 bezeled diamond
on each side of the profile (as I have 4 children) and thought would look pretty, in addition to the symbolism.
Feel free to give honest opinions.
ETA: your diamond is the same size in all of these images; the halo and/or airline really changes the appearance of size and how much finger coverage it will give.
So sorry. For some reason the photos posted first instead of after my thoughts. No worries. Thanks for everything.@Emeraldcutlover I’m apologize I won’t be of much help here. I’m not understanding the correlation between the pics you posted, the mock-ups from earlier, and the CAD images.
Thanks so much diamondlove123. Yes - they will add pave diamonds where there is dead space and place the prongs on the diamond. I am hoping the metal will not be so heavy and that the shank will be more rounded like in photo C and more dainty like in photo D
. Ugh. Hate this process. So hard to tell.
Me too
. That is something I’m hoping will be changed.
Thanks so much. I actually said the same thing. It’s too high and kind of makes it look costume-y. What are your thoughts on how bulky it looks? Thx again.
Here is a 3 carat in Tiffany Soleste. I have tried this style on and it looks very delicate in person
Hi @Emeraldsaremyfavorite - Thanks for saying that. My husband actually burst out laughing and said - how in the world can you even tell what it will look like??? Lol. I guess that’s true. I do love what you posted. I have a photo of one very similar but I feel like the diamonds are maybe closer together in it? I’ll show you what I mean. But I do love how dainty the Tiffany one looks and how the halo follows the cut corners (some are rounded edges which takes away from the shape (in my opinion). My husband said just go for it and if you hate it, we will do the traditional baguettes w my stone (bc I DEf love that). Ugh. I honestly don’t want to waste anymore money. It will kill me to reset it. I never liked my LM Setting bc the one I saw was with a much larger EC diamond and all the side stones looked completely different than mine ended up looking. My husband wanted me to start over and get a new one setting but I just couldn’t. It was too expensive. So I pray I like this one bc I don’t know if I’ll reset it. @PintoBean - I am DEf lowering it as well. Ps. What do you think of the basket design?
@Emeraldsaremyfavorite - quick question. What do you think of I did a bezel like this CVB (top photo w purple stone) but in platinum? I cannot find an EC w this setting in WG/Platinum. I even like it w a sleek bezel (last one which I posted sideways to help picture set this direction but to add
Yes. I was thinking that as well about it being a bit thick. Yes- there’s a Tiffany’s right in my town. Lol. I should go in there but they never have EC’s w halos. But I should pop in to look.
Ok- it can’t hurt to do that! I know they will only donsettings w their own stones. So I guess I’m going to have to act like I’m in the market for a stone. Haha. I would like to see how theirs looks in person -Especially bc I also want to make sure it doesn’t look too big and like a piece of costume jewelry. The CAD doesn’t look nearly as big as what I thought and was afraid of. Lol.
