Custom face ring Part I - Design

Hi Mary! I got a beautiful carved face, over this weekend in the mail and started working on it, actually just played with the setting wires:

Face itself has nice size and shape. A little unleveled, but that's fixable :)

Here is it:

After playing with couple bezel wires to hold the face we came up with two options:

Option 1) Just crown wire, here it is pre-set in it

This crown is very light. Face is delicately supported by little crown teeth. I love it.

Option 2) Bezel wire with crown wire on top:

Mary, This setting is good too, but in order to se it I had to add some wire to the top of the crown wire and this adds extra weight and height to the ring. It was a great idea, but it looks a little bulky and feels heavy. I also had to raise the face a little bit to level it out. It was a great idea, but I am not sure it's the best choice for this ring now. It's for you to decide, but I would go with the first option.

What do you think?
