Help with David Klass CAD's (pretty please). :)

Personally, I'd ask for the petals of the halo to be tilted ever so slightly, like the tilt on Frankieextah's iconic Emilya halo. Right now the halo is quite flat horizontally. That slight tilt would make the overall look and flow of the ring come together would give that extra 'je ne sais quoi' to the design.
 
I do like the changes better than the original, which was already really pretty to begin with.
If it were me- because I think the petal angle/curvature is so important I'd pay extra to have a wax/3D printed model sent to me. That and also the shank shape would be something so different than what I am used to.
Thanks. That's a great idea. :D

It’s so pretty, Elle! I love the changes.
Thank you. :D

The petals of the original design are proportionally smaller than the petals of your design.
The petals are different than the inspiration pic (and what I was expecting) but I actually really like them. They definitely have that floral vibe I was going for and they are spaced well so it should be easier to clean. :mrgreen2:

I really like this revision a lot, even if the petals are larger than the inspiration earrings / pendant set.
Thank you. I was expecting something different but I think these new petals look really proportional to the ring. :lol-2:

Thanks for your help. I did ask for the halo to be tilted so that should be accounted for in the revised CAD's. I'm terrible at interpreting CAD's but I thought I noticed a difference. Is it just not enough of a tilt? :shock:
Oh, I can't find the Emilya in question (that user didn't come up for me).
 
There is more of a tilt to the halo in the second round of CADs, you're right. But it seems to be more like the outer edge of the halo has been beveled with the rest of the halo being still flat, rather than the halo being tilted to flow with the angles and proportions of the center stone.

Sorry, typo on the user name, only one e in frankiextah. Here's the link. She remade the same halo THREE times before she got the halo proportions perfect. In my mind the final one has perhaps the perfect halo proportions. If you look at her ring you can see the halo from the profile view and how the halo is tilted from the inner edge (closest to center stone) to outer edge of the halo. Granted, it's a different design and style of ring but I think the tilt may have the same effect on the overall look and feel in your design. Just my 2¢ :wavey:

Caveat:
- Tilting the halo more may make your setting deeper, which might be why DK didn't do it.
- I wouldn't expect DK to make a Victor Canera caliber handforged ring since they are two very different kinds of jewelery designers, but the general principles can be relevant/helpful nonetheless.

Thank you for the helpful info and for the link to the ring in question. I see what you mean by a fully tilted halo. If it comes down to it, I would prefer the gem be set as low as possible, even if that means a slightly less tilted halo. :mrgreen2:
 
Ooooooooooooooohh!
Did this just pop up?!!
So so so pretty!
 
When is it going to be done? We all want to see it!!!
 
I want to see it too!!
 
I saw it on Instagram and it's gorgeous! I can't wait to see hand shots :love:
 
It’s so pretty! How’s your ring coming, Elle?

Haha, it sure did wear in awfully quick! :lol:
 
Looks like DK did a version of this with a sapphire!
I wonder if it's someone from PS? Handshots?
