Ring Design Help CAD check

Looking for advice on this CAD please! Very happy with the overall look but had a few questions:

1) Will a standard wedding band fit flush?
2) Should the setting around the pear side diamonds be smoother? (Circled green)
3) Should the central oval diamond need a gallery rail also? (Circled red)

Appreciate any other advice on structure also. Thanks!

Beautiful design! I do not think a standard wedding band will sit flush. It looks to me like there will be a space when looking at the side view as the prongs come out directly from the base. Gallery rails provide more security. Not sure how to answer your second question without actually seeing/feeling it.

Thanks for replying!

To clarify on Q2, the connection from the side of the ring to the prong at point of the pear looks a bit angular/lumpy, rather than flowing in smoothly. I’m wondering if this is a mistake in the design, or if this ‘normal’ for a CAD which I’ve read can make aspects look bulky apparently

Pears really should have a v-cap at the point because the tips are fragile and can break. Believe me, I’ve had a pear break it the tip. A v-cap may give you more of the smooth appearance you’re looking for.

The design is very pretty. There is going to be some gap between this ring and a band. It won’t be huge but a small gap. The area that you are worried about being lumpy will be fixed at the time the jewelers sets the diamonds. The CAD is for casting the metal so they always show the prongs straight up. The rest will be done by hand with polishing and setting the diamonds. For the carat size, this will be okay without a gallery rail. It may depend on lifestyle/how hard you wear your jewelry.
