Where to find a jeweler to add a halo to my current E-ring

[ernpnny5909]

I am thinking of adding a halo around my e-ring. My hubby and I have been married almost 5 years and instead of an upgrade we were thinking a halo would be better. I love my ring and don't want to replace it but I love love the look of the halos and would prefer to add to my ring rather than upgrade. My center diamond is set in a Tacori setting. Can a halo be put around it? Any suggestions on where to go to have this done? Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks
P.S Attached is a picture of my ring

I would contact Tacori but that's generally not an easy thing to do, the head would need to be reworked, and with a Tacori, I'd have them do the work.

I don't think a halo can just be tacked on; it needs the right structural support so that it doesn't fall apart or worse yet, lose the diamond. Secondly, adding a halo to such a beautiful setting is going to make it very cluttered, not to mention the look is very different (one antique and one modern).

You have a gorgeous setting, and I would be very afraid that adding a halo would just ruin the whole look. I would recommend saving money and upgrading the center stone instead. And definitely have Tacori do any work like replacing the head to accommodate a larger stone. I just don't see a halo going with the rest of that ring at all.

Oh I'm glad you moved this to the RT and away from the hangout. It will get more comments now.

+1 with DS. As I already stated in your other thread I think your set is gorgeous. I think adding a halo would look really odd. I would just save the money and upgrade the diamond later on.

I agree either you should save up for a new stone or get a whole new setting, there are nice plain shank halo's that wouldnt cost too much more than you having someone add a halo to that, and then you can jsut save that setting for when you can afford a bigger stone.

Oh, and if you did get a halo setting, you could always put a round sapphire in this one!
