Hi All!

I took the plunge to reset my Oval solitaire to a rose gold halo and I'm so thrilled with how it turned out! My oval is a J, and it does show warmth compared to my higher color stone, so I was a bit wary if doing a halo might make the color look more obvious. Now that I have it reset, I can definitely say the rose gold is a great decision as the contrast help the stone look more defined and whiter. And it just look like it belongs :)

Coming from having all white metals, I was also a bit worried rose gold might look too trendy and how it might look with my skintone. Now with the ring complete I actually adore the rose gold as it just makes the ring looks more romantic! Love how it looks on my skintone as well.

All in all, I'm absolutely in love with how this turned out

Oval is a 1.05 ct, J color, with good dimensions at 8.52 x 5.83 mm. Halo has 1.1 mm G/H stones. Absolutely love this size halo as it helps highlight the center stone and doesn't have a noticable color difference to the center. Metal is 14k rose gold.

Hope this helps someone deciding on a ring / style as well :)
 
Beautiful! I have some serious oval envy. One day...

And the reset is so simple and elegant and very now. And makes the 1ct look HUGE! Enjoy the fresh new look :)
 
Great choices - it’s perfect!
 
Awesome reset....
 
This is perfection!! SO beautiful - really fantastic choice.
 
Very pretty! :appl:
 
Oh I'm loving your reset! The ring looks beautiful with your stone :-)
 
Wow, this is really, really pretty. I'm generally not a fan of halos, or rose gold, for that matter, but this looks amazing! I love the profile view. Very nice job! I think you've convinced me to broaden my horizons and adjust my preferences a little.
 
Love the reset! The rose gold looks perfect on you!
 
Looks amazing!!! Are you going to still wear your wedding band with it?
 
Beautiful reset! Feminine, romantic and really lovely on your hand. Congratulations!
 
I love your reset! It is beautiful on you! I also love your before too. I think it would be hard to go wrong with your lovely stone.
 
So beautiful! And I love the profile. Do you mind my asking whi did the setting? Lately DSS has got me thinking of turning my solitaire into a halo ;) And my OEC is a K, so I am concerned about the melee in the halo making the stone look dark. Yours turned out wonderfully.

And I second a question from a previous poster - what kind of a band are you thinking about?

Thanks @elliefire99 ! I'm definitely loving the size difference too! I think fancy shapes takes on halos really well :)

Thanks Sandy for the kind words! I know I will enjoy this for a long time :)

Thanks @Wewechew I love it more than I expected, and yes I'm glad my stone just feels like it belongs with the setting <3

@natasha-cupcake Thanks much for the kind words! My preferences before was also just a simple solitaire, and I'm still in love with my tiffany-style channel set engagement ring, but I just realize you don't know until you give it a shot! Hope your next project will be a success too!
