Judy and Lek - I prefer the design attached for Aida, but I do not like
the side view, the wave lines of gold holding the stone. I do not think
they match the rest of this design. I wrote comments on the design.
The Sphalerite design is nice, but the softness of the stone was not
considered. We need to create something that protects the stone more.
For example look at the ring attached - we made this to protect the
stone. Us the same idea you have drawn just add more to protect the piece.
