Inspiration and my first CAD

Work in Progress Post

I have received so much help from this community and I can't say thank you enough.

Brief recap. I got engaged in 2014 with a handmade band and got to select my own ER. I started looking for a diamond band in 2016, assuming because of my warmer center stone I'd need to go custom. Had a few false starts to say the least. In Sept the Stuller band I thought would work, didn't and we moved onto custom to attempt to match the shape of my halo. Thanks to both inspiration from and enormous assistance from these boards I am really happy. I seriously would have thrown in the towel had it not been for the encouragement and help from you all. Best of all, my jeweler and my husband are still speaking to me!

I also learned about the wonders of stacking and now have a serious band addiction but that is another episode.

Here she is.
3.0-3.3mm wide
17 2.5mm/6point K SI1 diamonds
White gold
Size 7.25
2 blank spots for the expansion series

Thank you! I am rather relieved as well. And thank you so much for all your advice and suggestions. I think showing them (again) the shape of the halo, like you mentioned really clicked it all into place.
