Tsav & Spinel: yea or too much?

I like the color combo. I wonder how it would look if the halo around the tsav was a complete halo?

I did find one example of full halo around the tsav and half halo around the spinels. Somehow I prefer the all-around halo look.

I love those stones together! I am not picking up Christmas vibes though, it looks more tropical to me. I would set them in 18k yellow. I have a pink spinel, demantoid and paraiba ring in 18k yellow and I love the richness of it and how it plays up the juicy colors. I will try and find a pic.

I would love to see your ring in 18k yellow.

Ohhh, that is pretty!! Good luck to have found an example as it can be hard to visualize from CADs.

The ring on the left is the 18k yellow one I mentioned. The ring on the right is also spinel and demantoid, but set in 14k rose gold. I actually like this color combination of stones in either metal, so I don't think you can go wrong either way! I just thought this pic might be helpful to visualize the color.

Beautiful rings! Thank you for sharing. Yes, both yellow gold and rose gold work well with this color combination.

I just took picture of the stones with both yellow and rose gold. Both works; yellow gold seems to enhance the richness of the color combination more.

About the all-around halo design, I notice an undesirable gap between the halo and the stones (see the first picture). I like the halo to be close to the stones (as shown in the second picture). Is this simply an issue of craftsmanship? Or a good jeweler shall be able to reduce/remove the gap?

It’s craftsmanship. A good jeweler should easily be able to do it without a gap. These are both lovely settings.

Great. Thanks. I will for sure bring that up during early discussions with the jeweler.

Sometimes that gap is there intentionally as part of the design to let more light hit the stone. I personally don't care for the airline visually speaking, so I would just request it be set flush to the halo melee. They can snug it up in the CAD, that is easy enough to do. I agree your stones really look rich against the 18k yellow. 18k has a heavier feel to it which I find luxurious and appealing. It will be a stunning ring once your work out all the details! Can't wait to see it progress.

Hahahahah I had the same thought when I saw it on instagram!

Hubba, hubba.
I should have know this was yours! I saw it on DKs Instagram and I knew it was too well done not to belong to a PSer. It is stunning! The gems paired together even better than I imagined (and I can imagine a whole dang lot). The yellow gold was an excellent choice. It seems to highlight both colors. This beauty is exquisite and I can’t wait to see your pics!

Woot woot! It turned out fantastically (is that a word?)!! Well, it's a dream come to life. Enjoy it!

I can't imagine a soul alive who wouldn't.

P.S. I was really torn on whether yellow or rose would work better here (and I think either would have). But the yellow created more contrast and everything just seems to be poppin'!

Isn't it! I haven't seen the stones for such a long time that I was even stunned by them myself when I first saw the video

. The colors are so bright and fresh, it make one feels young and hopeful.

Thank you! Pictures shared by you and Neptune really helped me make decisions. I will surely post more pictures once I receive it (likely next week).

Thank you! Putting the stones near to yellow and rose bands made yellow gold a clear winner for me. I no longer had any double after that and it turns out great!
