I thought I commented on this thread already, but I gues I didn't however I visited your thread a number of times to drool over your amazing cushion gems and that sapphire is going to be a stunner in any setting you choose

but I just now saw that you decided on BGD... can't wait to see the CADs

 

[shiuri]

WOW! Look at those rocks! Absolutely gorgeous and breathtaking!

 

[arjunajane]

Thankyou very much
LTP, GG, D&T and Shiuri!


I seriously can''t wait either D&T - fingers crossed they should be available in next couple days.

 

[Largosmom]

drooling!

Now I''m getting excited for you too.

 

[Stone Hunter]

The new photos are just LOVELY!!!!! Thanks for sharing them. And I can''t wait to see what you and BGD come up with for a setting.

Great color in that stone.

 

[arjunajane]

Thanks Largos and SH!

So the CAD was in my inbox this morning

....however there are a few changes to be made.
Already had a good chat with Brian, and hopefully an updated CAD is not far off..

we''re getting close!

 

[pierreone]

rofl, you''re too funny!
ah, I''m sorry GG..at least did you hear from Lesley?

lol, I shouldn''t do this with the build up and all..because then if ppl don''t like it I will look silly,

ha ha..

 

[arjunajane]

Not long spirit! Hopefully I will see the updated CADS soon

And can''t wait to see what ideas you come up with Adams828..

Oh yes, absolutely. Lesley is very good about answering emails. Lesley loved the color of my new spinel (I asked for her honest opinion before we get started) and Brian thinks we''ve got the right size stone now for the bow. We''re getting into talking about some specifics now- halo diamond size, how to attach the halo to the bow etc. I have to call for a chat, and then my bow and my stone will be winging their way to Houston. I wish I could fit into the box with them!

AJ,
While I love your stone, I want to see CADs of the setting, not BGD pictures of your gorgeous JW sapphire!

Hey again GG!
Yes, Lesley is awesome, esp. considering the sheer volume of requests she receives - have you seen that sample of emails at the top of the blog?!

I''m happy for you to hear that your project is advancing and everything falling into place. You''ll love chatting to Brian (or Lesley for that matter).

I know exactly how you feel, I wish I could visit there to see how everything is done - it all seems so fun and interesting.

Thanks luv2, I appreciate your compliments.
Even though it''s been weeks since finished, I am still very excited about getting to "meet" my JW sapphire

 

[arjunajane]

So, Brian listened to everything I had to say and came back with a second CAD, and nailed it !

Looking at the first and second CAD is like night and day (to me, considering what I had in mind).

There are still one or two more small changes to be made, but Brian reckons we should be ready to ship by end of next week!

I''m very excited, clearly.

Now, Please don''t shoot me those folks who would like to see the CAD''s

, I will post the progression once the ring is complete

HI AJ
Thought that I had already commented here -- I''ve certainly admired your stone alot! It turned out gorgeous (love how it kinda looks like a blue version of your chunky cushion!

)

Looking forward to seeing the finished product

Hey BA

good to see ya, thanks lovey! Actually, I hadn''t thought of it that way yet - you''re correct, that''s kinda cool that it''s like a blue OMC version, I like it!

Yep the process with BGD has been extremely smooth and also fun so far - Brian is very attentive and good to speak to, and Lesley is awesome.

I had really wanted to do this in Au (as you know), esp. try with K&B - but once again, I never heard back

*shrugs*..
Either way, things are turning out so well with BGD, I reckon it''s for the best in the end

What????? No CAD for us? Meanie!

One week from the remake of the CAD is very quick.

Yup, they''ve been extremely quick - probably not least as it''s pretty clear I have ants in my pants something chronic, lol...

You know how it is with CADs C - because there are a couple elements (milgrain etc), which aren''t represented in it (and still a change or2 to go), I feel it won''t *quite* give the overall end aesthetic of the ring credit...that sounds like a jerk-ish thing to say, ha ha..but you''ll see what I mean when its posted.

I promise, I''m not doing it to be cruel and unusual!
