Ok so the last round I posted, plus the one that has the donut pushed in and is lowered more:

THEN! I have molds, I tried to keep donut on the left and no donut on the right:

I still like the steeper angle of the donut version but the lower profile of the no-donut version means overall it's my favorite. I don't know if it's worth it to see if they could make the back of the ring more flush with my finger... idk if there's some technological limitation why the can't do that or something, and I'm afraid I'm being annoying and overly nitpicky with too many rounds of CADs. Though I am happy to pay extra to get it right.

I think you should ask.
Then you know.
But can I just say - :love: !!

Yes, either way - it's going to be stunning. I am kind of impatient and ready to just get it on my finger. My mom also thinks I should ask and had to talk me down from my "but I want it NOW and I don't care if it's not quite right!" rant.

I’ve been having some health problems and was having a heck of a time even figuring out how to word what I wanted to them but I finally did it and the CAD they got back to me is just what I wanted so it’s been sent to casting! Can’t wait!

This is lovely and I can’t freaking wait to see the finished product. It’s going to be amazing! :love:

I’m excited to see it in person since I find DK’s glamour shots - nice as they are - don’t look anywhere near as good as real life and to me the paraiba looks washed-out here. The setting looks just how I wanted.

wow these pictures are a lot bigger on the computer than they were on the phone and wheww the inclusions are a lot, lol. Trust me that they are completely acceptable in person and the overwhelming thing I noticed about the stone was the color.

Congrats!!! :appl:Haha yeah, the inclusions are very noticeable, but the same is true for Rfisher's ruby ring. I have no doubt your paraiba will look even more scrumptious when we see the hand shots and not the magnified 30x pictures. :kiss2:

Apparently the ring box tastes good... photoshoot got interrupted by Hugo coming to cuddle and gnaw on it. I don’t think this is approved treatment of jewelry!

Holy cannoli! I’m literally panting over here! This is insanely gorgeous. :love:
I’m already a sucker for paraiba (for obvious -glowy- reasons) but hot damn. The setting is absolute perfection. Those rose cuts (and I’m not even a fan of rose cuts) are absolutely everything. They look amazing. The whole ring looks freaking amazing. I’d call dibs but I know damn well I could never afford it. Not to be lewd (this is totally lewd so don’t read it if your sensitive) but I wouldn’t need any extra help from BOB (battery operated boyfriend) to get there, if you know what I mean. Just looking at this baby could make me see stars.

ETA: Should I take out that last part? I feel like I should take out that last part. :shifty:

The ring is gorgeous, I love everything about it, including the rose cut diamonds. They really add another level of beauty to that gorgeous paraiba.

Cute kitty!

SMTB thread up with MANY more pictures: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/paraiba-in-rose-cut-halo.251618/

Thanks for the comments, everyone - I'm obviously quite pleased with the ring!

Naturally, when I showed my mom the ring, the FIRST thing she did was lift it up to her eyes, squint at it, and ask "What's all that glittery stuff inside it?" :lol: Inclusions, mom, inclusions.

I read this comment out loud to my husband because it was too great not to share. :lol::lol: I'm sure you're not the only one to feel that way!
