OOH Gorgeous!! Thank you for sharing! Everyone says halos are everywhere , however I couldn't find one like this to save my life or at least an in real life pic! I am having this setting made and was a little worried it would look too large on my size 5 finger. May I ask the specs on your ring? and your finger size? I love the different shanks! Very pretty!!! I have the first CAD of this ring which I've already had to tweak. This pic helps. THANKS!!!!

Hi Birdi!![]()
The stone is a 3.01 cushion (8.69x7.63x5.14) GVS1 and my ring size is 6 ( I like to wear it a smidge loose). It is approx 11mm across ( North-South) with the Halo.
I don't think it looks too big! What size stone are you having put in? I think the setting is quite gorgeous!

Three times thus far and I've only had it since August 25th. he wants me to pick a new setting so I tried to find one with a thicker shank hence my post. here's a pic of my first setting with H & A 2ct center G SI1 8.10mm
I am a little worried...all I keep hearing is the new setting will take away from center stone ...halos are trendy etc... I wasn't a huge fan but I am now the more I troll for pictures!!

OH NO! having to send my ring away three times would put me in a state of perpetual worry too!
Regarding "taking away from the center stone" ... this can happen depending on the setting... but a halo can also really enhance a stone if it is done right and it looks proportionate (this is only my personal opinion...) I think that halo's - though trendy in the sense that lots of people have them - can also be classy and timeless. I don't see them going anywhere anytime soon! To be honest with you, I wasn't a huge fan of Halo's before either! I actually told my bf I wanted the simplest setting possible... but then I got this ring and I JUST LOVED IT!
So I really think it is a personal preference thing... maybe try on some halos and see how you feel or try on some rings with thicker band action..I know you are worried about your ring breaking again, but if you don't like the look of the multiple (three) shank rings maybe do a split shank halo? those are really quite stunning when done properly!
I really hope you get your dream (& sturdy) ring!!!
bluu76 said:Hello ladies,
Both your rings are stunning.
I have a similar ring, pave, triple shank, cathedral and halo, so I thought I would share a photo. I purchased the stone to use in a right-hand ring and I had the ring made this way because I wanted more coverage on my finger and because the center stone was not as large as I would have liked. Here is how it turned out and I love it!
I am sure your ring will be gorgeous!

I was trying to tell from the sketches whether you have the option of wearing one of the bands alone (it looked like the one in the middle maybe?). Or is it all one ring that you can slip on and off together?
Whatever the design, it really looks great on your hand, so ENJOY!!![]()
