Hi all. 
I put a post up a while back about some stuff I personally designed, and I said I would put pics up. There were some revisions that had to be made that weren''t to my specifications, so I waited. I put a copyright on the piece because most of the jewelers my way said they couldn''t do it, never got back to me, etc. My father had a mishap on something once in which the jeweler loved it so much, they put a copyright on his design and made a fortune off it. So just to clear anything up, I am the author of the work, and therefore it is not illegal content.
OK. Enough of that. I just had the woman doing this on CAD/CAM to round the bottom of the sizing bar a bit more, and then she is going to mill out some wax models. It''s going to be put together in a few pieces. There are some other details that aren''t shown because the finishes have to be done by hand as some of you may already know. I wish I had a scanner to show you the original picture.
Everything in there is real, and those white stones aren''t diamonds. They are calibrated natural white sapphires, IF. The centerstone is also IF under 10x also. If they were diamonds, for the same color and clarity, even at wholesale they would be a fortune. The entity that is fabricating it does manufacturing, and they deal with the general public for around what wholesale would be from dealer to vendor.
The head ended up being modified from what I had in mind, but it''s closer than previous versions from the fabricator were like. The woman doing that CAD/CAM had it very close to where it needed to be the first go around which really impressed the hell out of me. The profile, rope, shank/sizing bar is white gold-not plated. The raised releif is going to be yellow gold. There is going to be some engraving along the profile to put in some viens, and there is going to be some finishing work on the channel. I am thinking of having them do a heavy sand cast or florentine finish, and then polish off the releif. There may be an undergallery in there. I wasn''t planning on it, but it may end up needing one.
I may never have the chance to do something like this for a very long time, so I am kinda savoring the moments. If I could do this sort of thing for a living, I''d say the hell with computers in a heartbeat if I knew I could pull it off.
~Enjoy
