Upgrade - WF Custom Halo CADS...they''re here!!!

[jennkim27]

It''s been so hard being without my wedding and engagement rings...i''m so excited when WF emailed these to me this morning. They''ve been truly so understanding and patient while I tried to explain exactly what I was looking for and I think they really nailed it!

 

[jennkim27]

Another view!

Okay that''s beautiful. Truly truly beautiful. I love the design. Are they going to do those wires by hand (I do hope so, they would look fabulous that way). Is the center a European cut? If so... I''ll just get the drooling out of the way now. Drooooooolllll................................

Thank you!! The center is not European cut...although it certainly does look like it from the CADs...it''s a round brilliant in a cushion-shaped halo. I have no idea about the wires...I just told them I wanted it to be as delicate as possible. They suggested the idea when I couldn''t really verbalize exactly what I was going for. I will upload real pics and hand pics of course!!! 7 - 10 days more to go!!

What a beauty! I love it

 

[MonkeyPants]

So freaking gorgeous! I''m jealous.

 

[MrsDoubleP]

Oh my gosh, it''s going to be gorgeous! The CADs don''t look bulky at all (as they often do), so I''m sure it''s going to be beautifully delicate!

 

[Lilac]

Looks so pretty!

 

[akmiss]

It is perfect

And is practically my dream setting! I can''t wait for the real life pics.
What size is you center stone?

 

[Porridge]

Looks wonderful. I just LOVE a good halo with a plain band. Beautiful.

 

[ahappygirl]

My center stone is 1.35 carats, from Whiteflash as well. I was afraid that I was going to get TOO much finger coverage with the halo (as if there''s ever TOO much) but they assured me that the halo would be delicate and would accent the center stone, rather than overwhelm it.

Below was the CAD attempt 1. There weren''t that many changes made to it...except the obvious profile change as well as making the center stone prongs into double, rather than single, to hide the airline a little more in the corners.

 

[me&myboys]

it''s just beautiful!!!

 

[Still_Waiting]

Oh, my goodness, that is SO going to be worth the wait! I know it''s not possible to be as excited as you, but I''m not sure I can wait to see hand shots!!!

 

[violet3]

that is so beautiful! I ditto porridge - i adore the halo head on the plain band - it''s such a beautiful ring. Can''t wait to see it on you!

I think it will turn out beautifully!
When should we expect to see some pics?

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Wow, that design is gorgeous!!!! It''s going to be beautiful, and I just love the profile of it!!!!

 

[GoodSoul]

It''s surprisingly delicate from the CAD!! It should be very delicate and pretty for the real piece! I''m a fan of delicate halos only and this with a plain band is totally my cup of tea!!!

Can''t wait for it to be in your hands and hope you post more pictures!!

 

[April20]

This ring is stunning. I LOVE it.

Edit to add: LOVE the profile change. I looks more delicate this way.

WF quoted me 7 - 10 days from today...My first year anniversary is coming up early June so I told them I absolutely had to have it by then. And YES, I will be taking tons of pictures, along with hand shots.

Thank you everyone! I was very nervous regarding creating a custom ring via email and telephone calls but the CADs and all your kind comments have really made me excited again!

 

[AmberGretchen]

That looks amazing - can''t wait to see the finished product!!

 

[isaku5]

It''s gorgeous!!! The CADs are unusually delicate so I can just imagine how glorious the ring will be IRL. Congratulations on your upcoming anniversary and on your TDF ring!!

 

[Skippy123]

Beautiful!!!

 

[lauralu]

O_MY_GOSH I cannot wait for your ring to be done!!!!


You designed a gorgeous ring for WF to make real for you!!

Congrats!!!!!

 

[Ellen]

Love it! The profile is perfect.

 

[tyty333]

Very pretty...I love the halo look with the solid metal shank. Something about the contrast that really appeals to me

.

 

[geckodani]

Oooh! I like! The wire work is a nice touch! Very ethereal looking.

 

[Bliss]

STUNNING! I can''t wait to see this on your hand!!!!!
