I have no idea how to make a poll.

Here''s what I am TRYING to ask -

How many halo rings have you seen on the street, ie, not in a jewelry store. And for those who sell/manufacter, only count the ones that you haven''t sold/fixed, etc - JUST RANDOMLY ON THE STREET!

My friend just proposed to his now-fiancee with one. It''s very pretty, but not my style and it looks huge on her hand. But being NYC, huge is good.

My cousin has a ''step ring'' which is not exactly a halo, but looks like one.

I saw a lovely round halo on a 3/4 to 1ct center stone, pave encrusted on a salesgal at a boutique near my hometown. She said she & her fiance picked it out over a year ago when they were first looking at rings and it was still their fave so he got that one. It was beautiful & fit her perfectly -- but she was a romantic looking, petite, graceful thing. I think on me (big boned/tall/casual preppy dress) my 1.5 ct stone w/halo would have looked like Viva Las Vegas - Elton John - cocktail ring. I LOVE LOVE LOVE ''em ... but not on my man paws.

I have not seen any in Seattle. Its going to be hard to really monitor this type of thing right now with the weather being soooo cold. Everyone is wearing gloves!

having found pricescope, i look even more at women''s e-rings and wedding bands in my everyday travels. i have yet to see a halo ring whether i''m san francisco, anywhere in the greater bay area, or even as far south as pismo beach. or in toronto, canada for that matter.

peace, movie zombie

I saw one at Target on Sunday!!
I almost screamed. It looked like Shay37s WF Halo, and I was so excited to see it I almost accosted the poor woman. (I decided to leave the woman be, and just admired it from a far.)
Shay were you in the Framingham MA Target this past week?

Was any PScoper there?

An acquaintance has a sort-of halo; I''ve never seen anyone here or anywhere else with anything similar. It''s a round stone, with a pave frame that has a gap either side of the centre where you could put two trillions, but she just has a gap. She wore it until the wedding, but now she just wears a wedding ring. I don''t know her well enough to ask if that''s because the two rings don''t fit flush, or if she just never really liked the ring and was surprised by her fiance without having any input herself.

I''m in the Chicago ''burbs and I have only seen one halo setting in person, and that''s because my neighbor recently had her diamond reset into one.

I''ve seen a few out here in Los Angeles. None of my friends have that style.

My halo gets lots of comments though - people get confused at the pink diamonds.

I''ve seen one and I was babbling excitedly over it trying to tell her how many we see online and she was just kind of trying to pull her hand away. Funny she really liked my set too.

Good question! Answer? Not a one! Never, not once! And I am ALWAYS looking! Never have seen anything my own either. Which is kinda fun!

I''ve lost count. I have two close friends and several acquaintances with those (all got engaged in the past year or so) and I see them on the street, in the gym, in restaurants, at work, everywhere. Maybe it''s a regional thing but, here in NYC, they''re clearly all the rage. Although i''ve also seen quite a few in PA (Philly area) when we visit dh''s family.

Ah, then it seems like my point is correct - it APPEARS thatthte halo ring is all the rage and ever popular EVERYWHERE, when it is only TRUE here, but not out in the real world!!
