new detached halo setting for my 3CT cushion!

[skawaguchi]

hello friends! i'm new to this forum and have spent the day looking at everyone's gorgeous rings. wow!!

I can tell this is going to be a fun place for me to share my own ring too! with my birthday a week away, my husband treated me to the setting I've been dreaming about. i’m a huge fan of detached halo settings, and I was excited to design this one with my jeweler. My original engagement stone was set into it last week, and I am so pleased with the finished product!!! I look forward to taking many many photos in the future!

my center stone is a 3CT cushion, and the setting is white gold with a gentle milgrain on the outer edges of the halo. I was kind of worried about the milgrain because while I wanted a vintage feel, I didn't want the milgrain to be super deep or look like teeth around the edge. the band is a very modern euro shank with nice sharp edges (I like throwing a little modern into vintage pieces).

thank you for letting me share!

That is a very nice and unique setting. How long did the design take?

Skawaguchi,

I also like the juxtaposition of vintage with modern. It's a really amazing stone with a unique and original design. Stunning!

Thank you so much!! I was looking through this forum getting some great tips on how to take nicer pictures of it, and once I do, will post a few more!

To answer the questions, it was made by Eric at EVS Design… he was so nice to work with, and really patient with all of my questions. The process (including setting) took just over a month, which wasn’t too bad.

Thank you again for letting me share!
