now I only have to worry about those tiny tiny claws- and I do, everyday.
I would beef the width of the shank a little to 2.5 and if it isn't already, make sure the thickness of the band is at least 1.8mm. I'm super hard on my rings and I want to wear them, ya know? My e-ring/wedder is about 2.7 ish mm/1.8mm and it's just sturdy enough, I hope. Oh, and they both have a slight taper too, which I never even noticed
The delicate designs I admire are so beautiful but I would destroy them.
Good, good, just make sure they're not too delicate. The claws on mine
really are beautiful but I wish mine were just a little beefier (you almost can't even see them on the band) because I really am a klutz. If I were to do it again, I'd make sure to beef them a little more.
I can't wait to see your band done
. But, then I saw your vision and it looks smashing!!
So this was quick - I’ve had the cad through! I think it all looks good, although this is my first time with cad work on jewellery! Only thing I’m not sure about is the taper towards the diamonds? Any thoughts?
If you go with the taper it is a match on the band to mine. I really like it. You can get away with it. This bands pic is 3mm 9 stone taper, 3mm gold band straight and a 1.5 mm ouro tapering up to a 3.5mm head. I wear them everyday and never take them off. I have very short and small hobbity hands. It fills the space, but it works. Muffin top on my hands happens even with one ring- it's just the nature of my chub mitts.
Sometimes I'll take ouro (her name is Agatha) off and wear my e-ring and that's a 9x7 with 4mm sides, or I'll take the middle band off and wear ering,ouro,9stone.
Thin shanks don't last under heavy/daily use and will have to be reset/shanked at some point down the line unless you're diligent about taking off your rings. I am not. I personally will not buy and thin shanked rings if I can help it. If you want to live in them, it's best to beef them. 2mm width or more, and 1.8mm height for me. I think the 1.63mm height should be okay and will match your other ring well.
I didn't care for what I visualized it in my head

I think everybody does that, honestly; you're actually moving at a pretty good clip, sometimes it can take months. A few people have spent years trying to figure out what they want to do!
This new variation is a really nice design, I like it better than the four prong. I like the clean line of it. You can't really go wrong here so maybe catch yourself and do a quick gut check. That's how I do it when I know I'm overanalyzing
I'm glad I'm not the only one! The process has been surprisingly smooth so far, I'm not sure what I was expecting!! Yes I think I'm drawn to three prongs more, seems to graduate down to the band nicely even though it's not tapered.
Thank you, I think I need to do that and go with my gut. Nothing will happen now until next week anyway due to the Easter holidays, so if I want I can procrastinate all weekend!!
That is beautiful. Come back with more hand shots.

It came out beautifully! The combination is just so pleasing.
