Ok you can find the history of the story here:
https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/needs-help-finding-a-good-custom-platnum-smith.42162/
The question is if you think this concept would be too busy or downright cheesy? (the braided portion of the ring) I have decided that I want a modified D Vatche inspired design. Hopefully Vatche will agree to customize the ring themselves as I am waiting to here back from them.
The style is based on their x-prong round channel set ring:

However I like the setting better of the Hybrid x-prong and royal crown found here:

Additionally I wand to make the stone sit slightly higher and I would like the band of platinum around the girdle to be thinner if possible so that you can truly appreciate the depth and shape of the OMC center stone.
I would like flowing out of both ends of the bottom of the channel a braided design. However, I want it to look more like flowing waves then braided hair. I don’t want a space between them either where you could see through the ring. I have seen some examples of braids that look cheep and unappealing but others that definitely draw your eye like Mark Morrel piece below:

I liked the potential for this ring as well,

but preferred the MM won if I could tighten the strands so no space could be seen
I also borrowed the bottom portion of the ring from a design in this thread:
https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/want-to-share-a-ring-design-i-just-made.36445/=
Do you think it takes away from the stone and will make the ring too busy? Anyways please give me feedback either way so I know whether I am going astray.
Thanks Dave
