I’m having my engagement ring diamond (2.51 ct….8.20 x 7.53 x 5.17 mm, GIA I, VS1 modified cushion cut) reset at my local jeweler, he does all his work on site. This is the third set of drawings they’ve sent me and I still feel that it's not quite right. My request was to have an angled halo (similar to the fabulous Victor Canera that was posted by Frankiextah) with very little metal showing along the bottom edge, no airline, and have the halo set tight, so that it would not look scalloped along the bottom edge. The size of melee is 2.2 in the halo and 2.4 in the band. Is that too big to get a tight fit? Would increasing the number of diamonds in the halo, but decreasing their size, give that seamless look? They said they went with a bigger meleé than what they started out with in their design.
Is the halo sitting too low? Would having it raised to sit at or just under the girdle give it that continuous sparkle look I’m after? I’d like it to look a little chunky, which is why I thought having it sit a bit lower than a usual halo.
This is a 'one and done' reset for me, and they said that once the setting is made, I can’t make any changes, and my budget wouldn’t allow for a whole new, fresh restart!
If anyone has any advice, or an opinion, please share? It’d be greatly appreciated!
