Heres the original sketch i was provided. I was asked to "clean it up".

So after a few small changes to please the client, this is what i sent off. Let me reiterate btw, i didnt design this piece. Its exactly what the client wanted, so even though its not my cup of tea, everyone was happy in the end.

Final pics:

this piece is 2.5", 3" with the "IF" bail and weighs over 100 grams...

Wow man, that looks DOPE. I know nothing about jewelery but that joint looks CLEAN as hell.
Initials seem familiar some how?
I can feel your frustration through your post.
As a fellow designer doing it for about 10 years now I know it all too well.
Wow--diggin' NLV's piece! btw, those BFO bands re-stocked yet?
