What ER setting makes a 1.0ct RB look largest???

[woobug02]

Please show me some ER settings that make a 1.0ct RB look the LARGEST!!! My daughter is getting engaged and is looking for a large look for a 1.0ct RB...

Thanks, wooooooooooooooooooo

I always think any diamond looks biggest with a halo

 

[woobug02]

with a thin band????

A high set cathedral

 

[jaz464]

Yes, like this. The thin band and the halo together make the diamond "pop" I think.

 

[woobug02]

wooo. that is pretty

 

[mrssalvo]

If she likes halo's I think they really do make the ring look bigger and I love the Ritani that was posted. I also think a thin band around 2-2.5 mm makes the diamond stand out more.

here's ivanadiamonds Michael b petite princess. here diamond is bigger than a 1 ct. but I love the dainty band

I agree about the halo and a thin band.

I believe Treysar and Lmurden have before and after shots of their diamonds in halo settings for a visual. I have seen Lmurdens ring in person and have to say when I compared our rings/diamonds, hers looked HUGE next to mine and they are nearly the same carat weight (.74 vs .75).

Congrats to your daughter, Woo!

Here's a suggestion: if she wants her RB to look huge but loves the simplicity of a solitaire...
She can get a good size eternity or half-eternity band.
That'll make the RB really pop, and she can keep the clean lines.

if BIG is what she wants.. I have to agree with the halo. However, don''t forget cut. Ideal cuts look bigger because there is so much sparkle!

Here''s a before and after pic of my ring, as solitaire and as a halo... hope that helps.

Wow treysar! That visual makes all the difference in the world. I wouldn''t have believed the difference the halo made. It''s beautiful!

That''s just monster! I take deliver of my FW''s 0.71ct halo from Adiamor on the 26th. Can''t wait to see the effect in person

Okay, Woo, I am going to post pics before and after of my .76 SC. they will be the next two pics, as I have obviously forgotten that I have to upload pics to a post before I type.

finger size?

 

[Shay37]

After, in the witeflash halo. My finger is the same size it was then. I just had to have a smaller band size because of the 2mm width.

size 4.5 full as opposed to 4.75 for the original

 

[thunkpad]

Wow! That just pops right out at you - this is turning into another halo appreciation thread!

 

[moon river]

My vote is for the halo. I''ve seen so many stones that seem enlarged due to that setting.

 

[woobug02]

loving the halo After seeing those before and afters I wouldn''t mind having one WOOO she loved the pics. Thanks
