We picked a gorgeous yellow/green/blue colorchange oval sapphire for my engagement ring and they sent me the CADs (below) for the custom setting. (Apologies if I'm not using the right terms- I'm new to this and happy to learn.) I wanted something like the schubach scroll (links to pics below), but w shank as thin as possible (under 2mm and I like 1.5 by the basket, thicker at the halfpoint is fine), no surprise stone or donut, set low, no bridge, and w no gallery/rail bearing or only a very thin one. I tend to like as open as a culet/gallery as possible. (Those are my preferences, but I also don't want to require anything that would make the stone not sit right to get light or be very fragile.) I'm asking for all 18k gold (that's the highest carat gold recommended for everyday-wear rings, right?) except gallery rail/bearing in 14k rose gold.
We went through one round of CADs where they sent me something completely different from what I asked for. Now the CAD seems on point- is there anything I should be concerned about or ask about before they make the wax mold? Does this look like what I'm asking for? They said that they can't really give me exact measurements of the thickness of the shank until they have the wax- does that sound right?
Thanks so much for any help
Schubach scroll pics:
(In case it changes what's possible for the setting the schubach site says that their pics below of the round scroll setting are with a 2ct stone, 1.5mm at basket and 2mm at the halfway point. My stone is an almost 3ct oval sapphire - so about 2.6 ct if it were a diamond)

There's a version of the schubach made for an oval: https://images.custommade.com/w0_ZV...custommade-photosets/173866/173866.504450.jpg
