An update to my thread.
I spoke w/ my jeweller today & she told me they are working on creating a totally new prototype for my new diamond halo!
I asked whether I can keep the "cathedral" look & she stated it won't look as nice on the sides w/ the micropave going half-way down the band. So, it will look more "Leon Mege-esque".....similar to the Adrianna.
I hope I like it! I should know something early next week.

Good news! A totally new prototype is a rare chance Contessa, I don't want to put any pressure and stress on you (ok maybe just a little:greengrin
but you have a rare chance to do it YOUR way. I know you loove your stone and I agree it is gorgeous. Don't settle for anything less than what you already have. If you need breath down their neck to make it right and the way you like it. I know many goldsmiths want the easy way out and start marketing the styles they already have in stock by saying "popular choice" and "trust me I know what I'm doing". Ugh! the goldsmith isn't the one who is going to wear it and he doesn't know what you want unless you tell him the specifics clearly and insist.
Think of it as building your own house and you want big bathrooms and stone walls. If the contractor starts saying that small bathrooms and regular walls are the popular choice and he knows what he is doing, will you give in and let him do whatever he likes? You are the one who will live in the house, kwim?
Good luck with everything!

How exciting!!! How do you feel about not having the cathedral look and instead going with the micropave? I agree with Lily - get what you want and make sure they do it right!!!

I wholeheartedly agree! You make perfect sense.
I'm looking forward to seeing this new prototype....& my jeweller has good taste & knows what I like, so hopefully, it will be beautiful. If not, back to the drawing board!
Thinking about it, I'm beginning to think I should abandon this whole cathedral idea. I'm not attached to the setting to that extent. Looking at Leon's Adrianna, it's gorgeous......& no cathedral!
Yours will have it?? I didn't know that. Can't wait to see your ring.
Sky....YOU have some of the most exquisite pieces of jewellery ever. I completely value & respect you/your opinion
