Preliminary CADs of my Cushion E-Ring from ERD

[honey22]

WOW! If I had a ring like that I would have to give up driving as I would have a car accident for staring at that beauty all the time! Can''t wait to see the finished pics!!!

 

[KirbyCarolina]

Love your ring!! I''m actually looking into the ring you used as your inspiration. It''s soooo expensive, though. I''m trying to find a less expensive alternative. Would you mind telling me what ERD has quoted you for your design?? If not, I totally understand! Again, you have a beautiful ring. Can''t wait to see "real" pictures

Hi KirbyCarolina,

From what I recall on some of the previous discussions I''ve had with my BF regarding the setting, I think Mark quoted us somewhere around $4000-$4200 for the setting, which isn''t too bad considering how much Jack Kelege settings cost. Good luck with your design and let us know what you end up deciding on!

Cushionlove,

Thanks so much for the info! That is significantly less than the Kelege setting!!! I absolutely cannot wait to see how your beautiful ring turns out!

 

[Tacori E-ring]

Wow! It is going to look amazing!

 

[KirbyCarolina]

Cushionlove,

I realize I''m being impatient, BUT.........

Any updates on that beauty??

 

[MikeRato1]

wow thats just gorgeous, how much longer must you wait?

 

[cushionlove]

Hi KirbyCarolina / MikeRato1,

According to Mark, the ring should be done this week or at the latest next week. Hopefully, we''ll find out the progress tomorrow when Mark comes back from Italy. I''ve been so anxious waiting on an update so I hope he has some good news for us this week *lets cross our fingers*. I''ll let you know as soon as I find out.

Thats a beauty! The wedding band thing can be difficult. I have the same worries. I have been thinking about asking the jeweler if he can extend the migrain work or make it a tiny tad thicker so my e/band doesn''t rub against the diamonds on my e/r. or some how doing something in the design that would allow some sort of tiny bump (for lack of a better work) at the bottom center and somewhere on the basket, just to keep them apart. Maybe 4 really small somethings spread out on each side of the basket and down near the bottom of the basket. I have a spacer band and it only a 2mm, but its takes away from the look of the rings and really crowds my finger,so I would rather try to come up with something that could be added to either the e/r or th e/b and not wear the spacer. Now would be a good time for you to think about doing something to keep yours apart, since you are still designing your ring.

Good Luck and let us know what you decide.

Okay I meant -side of the basket and down near the bottom of the shank.

I''m so excited too! Mark called my BF last Thursday and told him it should be done by today (Tuesday) instead of last Friday like he originally planned. BF will give him a call today and hopefully we will have some good news. If it''s done, it should get shipped to us by tomorrow or Thursday. I will keep you updated as soon as I find out more. I''m getting really anxious and my nerves are going a little haywire but I''m sure everything will turn out fine

 

[KirbyCarolina]

Yay!! That''s so exciting and nerve-racking all at the same time!! ''You''re in a glass case of emotion'' - sorry, couldn''t resist the Anchorman quote. If you don''t know what I''m talking about, disregard the quote!! Anywho.....good luck, and can''t wait to see it

 

[KirbyCarolina]

Nothin yet??

Nothin yet??

So my BF picked up the ring and is talking to my parents right now as we speak to get their blessing. It''s a little difficult since my BF and I live in different cities (we''ve been doing long distance for 4 of the 7 years we''ve been together) and I have to wait until this weekend *hopefully* before I get to see it. Ahhh...I''m so anxious! If I''m lucky to receive it from my sweetheart this weekend, I will definitely take lots of pics and post them I PROMISE

 

[KirbyCarolina]

Oooooh my goodness!!! I''m so sorry for being so impatient!! I didn''t realize the situation. Good luck, dear! I''m sure this weekend will be FANTASTIC! And way to go on the long distance....that''s some incredible strength

 

[cushionlove]

Thanks KirbyCarolina! No worries...if anything I''m the most impatient of all

 

[Skippy123]

Wow, beautiful

 

[KirbyCarolina]

Cushionlove, where have you gone??

 

[cushionlove]

My BF, now fiance (wow it sounds so weird saying that) just proposed to me over the weekend so I will try to post up the pics tonight. Sorry for the delay!

 

[KirbyCarolina]

Hey, no problem!!! Just excited to see you haven''t left forever AND....CONGRATULATIONS! I''m sure it''s gorgeous. Can''t wait to see the pictures!

 

[mel047]

Just caught up on your thread!

So excited for ya! Congrats!

My BF and I are in the same type of scenario, only did the long distance thing for a year and a half though. While that doesn''t even compare, I can still relate and know it''s tough. We''re currently waiting on CADs from Mark.

Anyhow, can''t wait to see your pics! Congrats again!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Yay! I can''t wait to see the pics!

Congrats!
