Long overdue... ERD reset!

[OCgirl]

Wow ERD makes the prettiest settings. I'm usually not a halo fan but these ERD halos lately really are such beauties!

I seriously love this!! It is perfect for your stone! You and junebug and kathley are really tempting me to halo mine! And I am like you in that I just can't wear a larger diamond than I have.

I'm really excited to see this, it turned out SO beautifully lia, I love everything about it!!! It's just the perfect setting for your diamond, it looks amazing on your hand, and the finger coverage is fantastic! Halos are fun, aren't they? I'm happy for you, enjoy wearing this beauty!

Thanks June!!! I'm so happy I went with a halo - the finger coverage is TDF. I'm so glad you love yours too!!

I was concerned that the halo would push it over the top, so to speak, but I think it's the perfect size now. I say go for it!!

This is very pretty. I hope you don't mind, but I added it to the ERD thread.

Hi Lia,

I know I'm resurrecting an old thread of yours, but I've been looking at different styles of ERD settings, and I found that I was quite keen on your ring, and it has inspired me to create a ring with a beautiful milgrianed bezel halo similar to yours with ERD. Could you entertain a question please?

First off, this will be an ering my SO of four years, her ring size is 4. I have a 2ct RB that might have similar dimensions to your OEC, but I'm wondering if I placed this stone into a setting similar to yours, would it be too much coverage for a size 4 finger? I'm worried that it'd just be too big for her finger, and look off. Of course I could ask ERD to make a smaller halo, but I'm afraid it might take away from the overall beauty of the ring. Perhaps a smaller halo, wouldn't make the setting flow/look as nice.

Also, I'd most likely go with a plain shank without the bezel'd stones on the side.

Thank you for contributing your precious ring, and giving me ideas for an ering.

Hi p_easy! Thanks for your kind words about my ring - it was a labor of love. Honestly, it's a LOT of finger coverage. It's hard to say if it's too big for someone but it will definitely take up all of her finger real estate. If I remember correctly the halo is 1 pointers, the stone is 8.2mm and it takes up most of my finger. I'm actually in the process of downgrading my ring because I felt really ostentatious with it on a daily basis and I wasn't wearing it as much as it should have been worn!

The only tweak I would offer to the setting is I wish I hadn't enclosed the gallery so much underneath because it is difficult to clean. I based my ring on a Bev K design and IIRC they have a pretty similar style without the side bezels, which you might be interested in vs going custom. However, I have nothing but amazing things to say about ERD if you go with them. It was a great experience. Good luck! I'd be happy to answer any other questions you might have.
