Hello! First post here, actually just found this excellent site! I know this forum is for diamond related questions only. Though this center stone is a dark crystal opal (12x9x4.5) my question is in fact regarding the diamonds. I''m unsure if there is a better place to post this question. If so please let me know!
I have the ring design decided on. However, I have yet to finalize the size of the diamonds in the halo itself. I am completely open to different size yellow diamonds; larger or smaller, whatever accents the center stone the best. I chose 1.7 and 1.5mm because I didnt know any better at the time. When I asked my jeweler about making them bigger he told me it may start to overwhelm the center stone and he actually prefers the 1.7x1.5mm option for this reason. However, Im not sure I agree with him and I wanted some more insight. Some of you guys are so passionate about these things and have great insight with regards to proportions and look.
Please help me decide what size diamonds look best considering the size of the stone and the style of halo:
This halo uses 1.7mm up top and 1.5mm on the sides
This halo uses 1.7mm up top and 1.7mm on the sides
Here are pictures of the dark opal for reference purposes:
