FireGoddess-
It was certainly pricier than a white setting, based on other settings we saw. But we didn''t price having this ring made in white vs. pink. It was the pink contrasting with the white stone that caught our eyes. (And, the setting we saw in the first place had an Asscher in it. THAT puppy was delicious.) I am guessing it might have been $1,500+/- or so less if made with white instead of pink. That''s a complete guess based on the price we paid, and costs I''ve seen for halo settings in passing.
Plus, my stones are a very delicate purplish-pink. If someone wanted to have a pendant or fun ring made with pink - you can go with a brownish-pink to lower the cost. And those are gorgeous, as well.

Here''s another hand shot... I''ll take more after work.
It''s 1.5cts - the OEC is F / SI1 and beyond gorgeous. It''s original setting was a simple, thin band. The OEC has medium fluorescence, which I personally adore. (The OEC is from Single Stone.)
When my fiance and I saw this setting, we were blown away.
I love how the pink halo looks - it''s a nice contrast against the white of the stone. The pink stones have a tiny bit of lavender in them, which is just stunning. The pinks are so sparkly!
It was made by Eil''s Jewelry in Los Angeles. They were wonderful to work with and did an amazing job on the ring. I''ll get the side detail picture later tonight.
I plan to have a friend - who is an amazingly talented designer - make my wedding bands. I would like two thin pink bands. Although, I am not too sure what they should look like. I thought maybe to have them be flush against the ring.
Thank you for the compliments!! I am so excited to finally have it
