CAD Review: Cushion Halo Plain Shank

[BarbieB]

Hello!!

My diamond has made its way to David Klass and I just got the first CAD back. I asked for a cushion shaped halo with a plain shank. I told him I wanted simple with just a single delicate halo. I decided no diamonds on the stems bc I will probably just knock them out haha.

Here are the drawings, but I’m not sure what I should be looking for and was hoping someone may be able to lend an eye. @Kim N if you have time, your ring has been an inspiration to me! I know that yours is hand forged and there are differences there, but that’s the general look I’d like to shoot for.

I don’t see anything that sticks out that needs changing, but again, I don’t know what to look for either. I appreciate the help!

It looks gorgeous to my eyes! Did they get the cushion shape exactly how you want it? I might also suggest specifying how rounded you'd like the outside of the shank to be.

Thank you!!! Ok that’s helpful…. Honestly I think it’s great, I just needed someone who knows what they are looking for to look at it haha. I’m so excited!

I think Kim had a great suggestion regarding the roundness of the shank Are you comfortable with the height of the ring? My ring is just a tiny bit higher than yours but I know some people prefer a lower profile depending on their profession. I think the design is lovely!

I am no CAD expert but I think it looks great and is basically as low as you can go assuming the diamond dimensions are correct and you want the chance of a flush-fitting band.

 

[BarbieB]

These are great thoughts and suggestions, thank you all!

I like that it’s not super high-my three stone I have now is kind of high and I wish it was lower. I think this will be a good height.

Did you buy your stone from him? If I may ask, what does he charge for the setting? My stone is en route and I am trying to figure out who to use for the setting.

Hey there! The great folks here helped me find a 2.81 hearts & arrows cut for just under $1200. Felt like a steal to me! DK is charging $1500 for the setting I asked for. He seems very reasonably priced and is so nice. Sending it was super easy too-he sent a label with insurance and it got there super quick. I’m very excited about getting the ring soon!

Wow. That’s better than I thought the price would be.

Yes, I thought so too. I’m doing 18k white gold.

Yes I cannot believe it! It’s so gorgeous I would have NEVER believed the price. He is also so nice and patient. I’ll definitely be recommending him to friends.
