Should I add a halo to my cushion cut?

[Hoda389]

Hi all! I've been married for about 9 months now, but my ring and I have totally passed the honeymoon phase. I want to spice it up and make it look bigger and more dramatic! I veered away from a halo initially because my mom didnt really like that style, but IIII do! Now I'm totally regretting my decision and I feel as though my ring is pretty boring :/

Is it possible to add a halo? Or will it look weird with my current setting? Any other suggestions?

I'd check with your jeweler. Do you have funds to get a new setting? If so, what's your budget?

No, I think it looks perfect.

I would keep it as it is. It is a beautiful setting that doesn't need anything more.

OMG - NO! So classy looking as is!!! How about a really thin, engraved, rose gold band between the 2 rings?
Of course, if that's what YOU want to do, then go for it............................

I'd give it more time. It will be beautiful either way but 9 months seems such a short time to have grown bored of your stone. Although if you've got the cash to do it well then I guess no one's opinion really matters but your own.

Your ring is beautiful. But since you are the one who has to LOVE it, you should get what you heart desires. Here is a link to one that the halo was added to the original setting. It turned out beautifully. https://www.pricescope.com/communit...st-for-adding-halo-to-my-oval-setting.187833/ good luck with whatever you decide.

I think your ring is beautiful as it is, but I do love a cushion in a halo! I wouldn't try to add one to your existing setting though -- I'd just start with a new setting if you decide to change it.

Thank you all for the comments! I guess I'll keep my ring status quo for the moment. I appreciate all the sweet compliments! Xo

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I think if you would like a halo you should get one! My opinion is based on the fact that you intially wanted one and were talked out of it and are now regretting it. I think people should get what they love. I can think of two times when a halo was added to an existing ring - the one Taylorbug mentioned and this:

I think whether it can be done to an existing setting is a case by case thing.

I certainly agree that your set is gorgeous, but I think how you feel is most important.

I think your setting is very very lovely! My initial thoughts were that adding a halo might make the look of your ring look a bit busy... but that is very personal. Besides, you have a beautiful wedding band to match already! I think adding a halo of probably a possibility and contacting Pete at Quest to ask what he thinks could help with your decision!I I was very pleased with his services!

Go with what your gut tells you. I've been told to just stick with solitaires, but I love halos. I ended up with a double halo! I'm super happy that I got what I wanted and not what other people wanted. If you got tired of it only after 9 months that's a sign. You are the one ultimately rocking the ring. PRO HALO here
