I coveted this for a while, saved my pennies, and then pounced!

Can''t remember the stats off hand, but I think the garnet is around 2.5ct with 15 pts of pave. The band is half eternity.

Here''s a hand shot. The diamonds have some warmth to them, which I think actually enhances the ring.

Interesting that you say that ... I totally agree! (I can''t see really what you''re talking about in the pix -- looks very white & nice) but in *general* I tend to think of white white white ICY white pave stones as FAUX ...especially in a halo around a colored stone or some style that''s been copied in low-cost costume jewelry. Where - more "mellow" stones (sparkly but not blinding WHITEWHITEWHITE) add an air of authenticity. And a more "antique" look that I adore.

NICE FIND!!!

P.s. -- ahem, quite far from the Bulgari in style .... pave halo lady.

Though who says you can''t have two sides to you! Fascinating!

Thanks ladies! I like it too. I''ve actually had it for a couple of months and it''s making me H-A-P-P-Y!

Hey HARRIET: do you think ''The Eye'' would look good with a halo? I think it has possibilities. Do you think if we haloed it, it would be like a fly... you know with lots of little eyes...each one staring... staring... staring...

DECO: Yeah, most of my jewelery is on the dainty side. (Except for my Tiffany bezel ring and a huge crazy / hilarious antique emerald ring from step-grandma which I should post sometime!) I do LOVE halos, especially big stones with tiny halos like the Harry Winston version. So the proportions are one of the things I like about this garnet. Too bad my guy hates halos!

I''m like this with my clothes too. I have a lot of pink silky girly stuff, and then I have big square toed funky black boots and structured tops. Depends on my mood!

If I keep the Bulgari, I wonder if it would look funny with dainty ring collection on my right hand. hmmm....

KCOUR: Can''t take more pics till honey comes home. Why does he have to be away for so loooong?

Which one? The first or the second? Can you photoshop a halo around it? That would be funny.:

STUNNING!

We must have similar tastes cause I have a garnet cushion I've been saving for a setting JUST like that. I LOVE yours. I too am a BIG fan of dainty halos around large stones... and dainty jewelry generally.

Did you get the set separate or as one ring?


Mine garnet is concave though:

Wow Gypsy! Your garnet is gorgeous. I really want a concave gem... but I''m working on about six other things right now so I better save that for another year. Is it a Homer?

And yes, I bought the ring complete. It should be fairly easy for a jeweler to make, I''d guess, what with so many halo settings around these days. Can''t wait to see yours!

HARRIET: If you visit ''colored stones'', I think you''ll find a halo for the ''The Black Eye'' in progress... I hope. I asked Irina to put her skills to use. But really, this is something we have to see.

Do we ever!
Btw, I''m going to need some design help from you with my rhodolites and danburite.

I totally agree that the warmer diamonds enhance the ring. The deep color of the garnet is beautiful and the dainty halo and band are perfect. I think it is very pretty. Enjoy and thanks for sharing!!!
