Actual stones


I have paid for the ring in full and is currently waiting for the CAD drawing of the design before the actual ring is made.

Thank you all.

Ohh, lovely! Please come back with the CAD renderings, too, if you want any feedback. It's going to be a beauty.

Finally our CAD drawings is available.

What do you guys think?

Just my personal opinion - I think the band is too thick and too much metal showing. Not sure if it's the CAD drawing/your preference but the BN setting looks a lil bit more delicate. I would want the band to be thinner so the diamonds stand out more.

the CADs always look bulkier than the real ring. I think the sides of the band actually look like they have a minimal amount of metal showing

Oh sorry should have included the notes from the designer.

The design in the CAD renderings will appear a little sharp in the edges and bulkier than the finished product. During the polishing and finishing processes, the metal casting will be refined into a more delicate finished state. More metal needs to be added to each design to compensate for the refinement process.

You may also notice that the prongs or bezels look a bit tall. Don’t worry! Our stone setters will polish and shape the prongs and/or bezels after the stones have been set.

Oh that makes sense. The stones look stunning. I'm sure it's gonna be a beautiful ring!

The ring has finally been completed...

Now I'll need to wait till next week before seeing the real thing in person.
