Absolutely awesome thread with so many beautiful options!!![]()
I really like the art deco styles posted here, especially the ones with traps and bullets in bezel. Gorgeous! Really nice with half moons like Gypsy posted now too.
I am not very helpful in saying this, but are you absolutely sure about the mrb? Great stone! But your inspiration ring is a cushion. Makes me think maybe you really want a cushion...![]()
The mrb would be absolutely gorgeous as a solitaire too.
If you are sure, forget about my post!!![]()
It will be very interesting to see what you decide!

I'd predict that using graduated, step-cut baguettes on both sides will be less expensive, but it's been almost 5 years since I priced various side stones.Veltiesmom|1457121993|3999882 said:In some ways, I think the step cut deco ring might be easier to pull off though. In the sense that there are less variables and a better chance I will end up with a finished product that I like.
I wonder which would be more costly. The 5 stone will be about $6K, which is already going to put me in trouble with the hubs![]()
I find CADs too distracting & more anxiety producing than old fashioned pen & ink drawings and/or seeing the loose stones grouped as they would be in the jewelry piece. But I think I'm in the minority here on thatVeltiesmom said:Would you all be nervous attempting this design without CAD? I'm starting to get cold feet.
Gypsy|1457071159|3999516 said:Yes, but the humongous center stone obstructs the sidestones from being angled out like they should have been so you can actually appreciate them. Plus, it's an ugly center stone (at least I think so). And I think that with the stone being rectangular and all the sidestones being rectangular it's all too rectangular together. If that center was a round, I think it would be lovely. Or if the traps were half moons. Or something. It could just be that I don't like the cushion so I want it gone and replaced with something else.
