Not sure what info you’re looking for, but here is the cad. The center is their antique cushion- I love how chunky it is! My only big compliant about the ring is the milgrain isn’t as fine as I would have liked. But nevertheless, I think it’s a lovely piece and it was very reasonable for a custom item.
Thanks @anangel. It’s a beautiful classic yet bold look. I can see how the milfrain might be a little less delicate than desires but it’s still so pretty.Not sure what info you’re looking for, but here is the cad.

Yep...I was talking about the gap. It probably doesn’t matter so much if this isn’t a permanent setting but it is always nice to get it as tight as possible.
I have always had my stone and setting made together....even from Tianyu & Starsgem. I don’t like seeing that gap so I have never bought an unfinished setting. It is quite easy to set a solitaire after the fact but a halo does get a bit more tricky. I think if they use your exact measurements, it won’t be too bad compared to buying a setting that offers a size range for that center stone.
I think both...if you can give exact measurements to Tianyu for your halo that will help greatly. I do think there are two ways I see halo’s set. One is a flush setting and the other one is a stone set higher and the halo tucked under. It is really about personal preference but I prefer the 2nd way now having seen both. I think when they are set flush to the halo, you will definitely get more dirt in the corners. If you send pictures with multiple views, they will be able to make what you want.
I was just thinking that if you had the exact measurements of your round stone, you could have Tianyu cut one you. They could make the halo around the stone so it is a tight fit. If you love the look, you can switch it around with your diamond or just keep it as an alternate ring. I am not sure was size your stone is but if you are in the 2 carat range for a round, you are probably under $200 for that. I only suggest this because your solitaire looks so lovely. You could also do it with one of their fancy moissanite colors like champagne or aqua. Just a thought....
That seems about right with all the fee’s and shipping. There is a considerable price jump if you go to those D/E stones. Most of us have been ordering F or G/H stones which are still pretty white....just not icy white. If you go down a bit on color you will be on the bottom side of $400 but it really is about preference. I would also suggest speaking in mm instead of carat weight for accurate pricing.
My solitaire from Tianyu arrived this evening. I managed to get a few pic’s before it got dark. This is a 10mm center in a knife edge with G/H stone from Tianyu:

I am anxious to also find out your impressions of her since it is a H&A.. Does she sparkle like crazy? She should.. Wait till you take her outside in the sun!!
My honest opinion of your stone is that it is simply amazing! There is really good definition on the arrows and that is what you want. The culet is a normal size to me. In my Avatar (which is not the best pic) I have a 9mm Forever One GHI Hearts and Arrows cut. I absolutely love it. It could be my lighting but yours does look whiter than mine. Your pics look really good and whatever you are using takes good photos!
Wow they are fast! Does anyone have feedback about this CAD? I’ve never done this before so not quite sure what to look for. I’ve also attached the inspiration pictures. Do you think maybe the stone needs to sit a bit lower?
