Pretty ring. Is the tsav going to point to the 4 o'clock position as it does in the pic with the stones on your fingers? I think that is perfect. If it points to 5 o"clock, it might look funky. This is just my very very humble opinion as I am a kindergartner when it comes to evaluating cads.

I’m useless with cads, but just wanted to say that this is so unique and interesting! I love the lotus shape around the pad and the tsav is such a cool shape. I can’t wait to see it IRL!
I think the concept is really cool and unique, and I think this could end up being a stunning ring. But my first thought was that the tsav is too large when paired with the pad. In my opinion, the tsav dwarfs the pad and the entire ring doesn't read "flower" and "leaf" to me. I know that lotus leaves are fairly large, but artistic license tells me that a smaller "leaf" would help the pad read "flower" better than it looks right now (to me, anyway). I'm also a little prejudiced because I ADORE your pad (not sure if you remember, but I mentioned on your other thread that I almost bought this pad, but decided against it because I already had one). I feel as though the pad should be a little more "Star of the Show", I guess because I love it so much! Maybe a little more flower-y curves/wider metal around the pad? Kind of like a metal halo that would balance out the proportions a little more.
My humble opinion, only... Please disregard my comments, if I'm just not getting your vision.
Well, with two gorgeous stones like these, you're going to end up with a spectacular ring, no matter what. Because you're going for abstract lotus flower, the colors are spot on, obviously. I guess I just wasn't sure what level of abstract you're aiming for. It looks very abstract to me, which may be exactly what you intended. My comments really only apply if you were aiming for something less abstract than what I'm seeing. Actually, if the term "lotus flower" was never mentioned, I'd probably look at the ring and say "Wow, what a cool ring!" and not think twice. It will be gorgeous, I'm sure!Lol no worries. I’m not offended by opinions as long as folk aren’t offended if I choose to go my own way.
For me the star is as much the tsav as the pad. I love love love green garnets and this ones a stunner. So I don’t mind if the pad isn’t the “star”
Thanks guys. I sent along that feedback !I too would prefer a narrower gap between the two stones.
Great pairing of colours though and I like the design.
Looking forward to see the finished ring.
