It looks much better now
The only thing I would request from them is to make sure the ends of the curls of the scrolls are touching/joining with metal on the arm of the scroll so that they don't become a catch hazard in clothing. I don't know if it will be an issue in real life but you see with Gypsy's above example the scroll parts are finished and touching and won't catch, on this CAD I can see space between where the metal ends.

My stone is sourced from Gemfix. They do not work with retail customers from outside the US when the stone is above a certain price threshold, so I asked ERD to source the stone on my behalf. I have not been able to view it in real life, so I hope it will be nice in reality
Thanks arkieb!!! That's a valid point. I will think about it as I actually like it in terms of spacing the way it is now. Good challenge to consider...arkieb1 said:It looks much better now

I like how the scrollwork takes the place of the vertical elements. Before, they were competing. Also the scrollwork has a vague butterfly feel to it, so I think it probably goes well with the shank design. Is it possible to see a 3/4 view? One where you see the basket and the shank together?
I'm jealous how quickly your CADs have been done!
PERFECT !!!Acinom|1407271756|3726691 said:Thanks for your help and kind words!!!

Just received the third round of CAD with revised gallery. I would love to hear your opinions.

Thank you Starryeyed!!! You are so right about the first design where the stems drew too much attention.
All in all it has been a pleasurable process. I was not looking forward to the CAD proces, but it has been a real pleasure working with Chris from ERD. And I got such great advice here which created a true breakthrough regarding the profile design.
I don't have additional CAD's, but the ERD team will now print the resin model.

And then... The stone was chipped during setting.
Luckily they were able to recut the stone. My 5.06 ct stone thus became a 4.68 ct stone.
I made a thread in SMTB: [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/fruity-freshness-4-68-ct-rubellite-ring-by-erd-be.206884/#post-3765006#p3765006']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/fruity-freshness-4-68-ct-rubellite-ring-by-erd-be.206884/#post-3765006#p3765006[/URL]
Thank you all for you support and help
