Ring Setting for my Alexandrites — back with CADs

[voce]

I completely agree with your additional comment. I’ve had these alexandrites for probably 7-8 years now and I had several designs in my head but thought I narrowed it down. I’m typically more decisive and clear about what I like but this one is throwing me. I think I’m just running into a combination of a lack of experience (I’ve only done a few projects) and really wanting something special for these stones is throwing me off. The jeweler is super patient and super busy with other projects so between the two, he doesn’t seem to mind.

Yes, well that's valid. I've in the past few years done three dozen semi-custom projects aka pick out my own gems to go into ready designs in the CRD catalog and done two dozen custom designs. So in terms of quantity I do have plenty of experience.

I think you can pick up the skill of guesstimating dimensions if you sketch various designs on graph paper like this.
