Preliminary CADs of my Cushion E-Ring from ERD

[cushionlove]

Hi Everyone,

Here are the first CAD renderings of my cushion e-ring. I think I might change up the engraving at the bottom of the ring to look more like a scroll design than a leaf design. But overall, this is pretty much how I envisioned the ring to be. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

The surprise diamond is sticking out way too far IMO. Is that just a limitation of the cad, or is it actually how it will be built? Other than that, it's one fabulous ring.

Your ring is gorgeous, but I agree with purrfectpear that the surprise diamond may be sticking out just a tad too much.

I''m not sure how you''ll ever get anything done. I hope you don''t work...or have children...because I think marveling will become a fulltime job!
It is STUNNING from EVERY angle....one of the prettiest rings I''ve ever seen...
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Thank you all for your comments!! I really do appreciate your honesty and feedback

purrfectpear/Linda W/mrssavlo: I didn''t even notice how far it really stuck out because the original setting I was basing this design off had the surprise diamonds sticking out, but I don''t think it was this far. Below is a picture of the setting that inspired the design. I''m not sure if this is a limitation of the CAD but I will call and find out. You ladies definitely have good eyes!

CrookedRock: Thanks! It was estimated to take 3-4 weeks but seeing how today is the beginning of week 3 for me, it may take a little longer but hopefully not too long

My BF and I have been together for 7 years so I guess if I''ve waited this long, a few more weeks won''t hurt

In terms of potential wedding bands, I''m trying to figure out what types of bands would go well with this design. Since the e-ring has a basket, I don''t think any band will sit flush unless I get it custom made, but I don''t mind if it doesn''t sit flush since it''s a 3-sided pave ring and I''ve seen some really great sets with a gap between the e-ring and w-bands. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

stunning! please keep us updated.

 

[Catmom]

HOLY MOLEY, that will be an amazing ring! I can''t wait to see the finished version.

Cushionlove~ I''m going on 8 years so I hear ya girlie!! I guees we are in the same boat: waiting and waiting for our cushions!! BTW I can''t wait to see what Mark picked out this time... We got My cushion from him too! Isn''t he great!

For the wedding band... You do have a 3 sided pave ring and you would hate to damage it or a diamond band by wearing them together... are you opposed to wearing the 2 separate? I wasn''t at first, but I came to realize that I don''t want to damage either one. The other option I considered was buying a teeny tnt like 1mm band to use as a spacer. Tough though bc the basket of that ring is so big and detailed... hmmm.

 

[cushionlove]

CrookedRock - I am definitely not opposed to wearing the 2 separately as I think the e-ring will stand alone well on its own. I currently have a very thin band (probably around 1mm)that I wear on my right ring finger on a daily basis so I guess if I feel like wearing them all together, I could use the band as a spacer between the two. Ahhh...decisions decisions

 

[idreamofice]

I''m speechless.....GORGEOUS!!

I do agree about the surprise diamond though. If it sticks out too far that might also impact the way the wedding band sits. If you want to have a pave band maybe have the stones only on two sides (the top and one side) and have the third side just metal engraved with the same pattern as the e-ring so that you won't have stones rubbing against stones.

She''s a beauty!

Wow that is going to be stunning

Can''t wait to see pics when it''s done!
