Hi - I'm a long time lurker, first time poster. Thanks to all the regulars on here who have unknowingly helped me so far! I've been engaged for 2 1/2 years but having gone through a few vintage rings we eventually opted to wait until funds permitted. TBH I am not mind made up for definite but having loved both cushions and round brilliants in halos, I am now veering towards the latter. I really want something modern but unique. I love the harry winston belle ring but worry it is too cocktail ring esqe. I will not reset so this will be my forever setting. I am also unsure that I will like the squareness of the design compared to a round or elongated cushion. I recently found a vintage marquise ring which I loved. Do you think the two could be combined?

So you want to put a mrb in the marquise setting?

No I want to put it in a setting similar to the harry winston one - shape wise but I like the idea of using two strands of pave diamonds to go around it as per the marquise setting.

Your post made me think of one of my favorite vintage rings:




I love the idea of a twisty/open halo with a MRB. So unique and delicate. Please keep us posted on your journey!

Thank you for posting firemonkey that's an interesting ring. I am starting to feel the idea has definite possibility. I will try and do a sketch and post up and perhaps others might chime in then!

Not exactly two intertwining strands of pave, but the head of this one has some similarities to your examples:

The shank is completely different though.

Yes it's lovely but for me, bordering on the look of a cocktail ring. I think I am probably going to end up going for a plainer halo style. I guess there's a reason why that look is do popular! I will start a new thread when I start looking for diamonds. Thanks for everyone's contributions!
