I've got a few questions for a professional jewelry designer - specifically about jeweled rings. Any designer/modelers here?

Hi Mike,
There are probably a few of us jewelry folks around. Ask away.

Well this is concerning a custom engagement ring. I have a supplier for the diamonds, but I'm not sure how the process goes, in terms of specs for designing the ring itself, manufacturing, etc. I know what I want, design-wise, and was going to do it in Rhino myself, but I know better than to underestimate the craft like that. The presentation aesthetic for jewelry must be as complex as for any other discipline, meaning there's a right way and a wrong way. There's no way I know the right way - I'm not a professional jewelry designer.

I slip in here just to say: -Congratulations Mike!
I assume you are getting married, isn't it?

Don't lose the focus on the important things; that little round thing can unexpectedly jump to the drainpipe.

If I hadn't kept focus on the stuff that matters, we wouldn't be talking about a ring in the first place
That being said... girl's getting a diamond!

ah, sweet, Mike ! congrats !
you could impress her by a new design like this:
buy a really huge diamond and drill the right-sized hole through it ..
and .. don't publish any fancy renders, otherwise they'll show up in the maxwell manual (again) or all kinds of wedding magazines that your girl certainly is checking out ..
good luck !

Hi Mike: Feel free to PM me anytime, I am a jewellery designer/goldsmith/gemmologist. I use Rhino to design some of my work and then go from there. I would be happy to give you any advice you need.
