Hi team, I’m almost ready to pull the trigger on a CAD and would love any thoughts.
The inspiration was a few rings from Victor Barbone and I accidentally wound up creating a Barcelona variation, even though the basket inspiration came from a completely different ring. I tried like heck to get the shoulders to meet mid-basket because that really appeals to me, but the translation to bezel and a lower height wasn’t working. So now the shoulders are solid and extend up to the bezel.
The wax model came today. I like it even more than I thought I would! One concern I had before seeing it is that the solid shoulders would be too much, but it creates a nice profile view with the wedding band. The only change I’m definitely going to do is start the pinch of the shank a little earlier so that it’s a less abrupt transition.
The plan right now, which is a change from when I started this, is gold shank and basket, platinum bezel.
Anything off? Grossly ugly? One idea I had was to widen the donut a bit - but it’s really comfy this way so I don’t know.
And then lastly, when I put on the ring that holds the stone, my stone looks bigger than the model (not complaining there!). Please excuse the scratch I gave myself apparently ripping these rings on and off in excitement. *snort*
