Does anyone have an halo with small center stone?

[barbiebien]

I am looking at rings for me and my boyfriend. We will order an engagement rind together. Since i am in Europe, vendord are limited and i am looking at Blue Nile for rings. I will either go for a 0.60 solitaire or a round halo with a regular plain platinum band. Both with ideal cut, H colored VS2 stones.

I see alot of Halo's on here but not much with a center stone of .40 till .60 and im wondering how it will look. I have giant (2 + centimeters by 1+ centimeter) platinum oval halo ring with a blue stone from the early 1900's that i realy like on my size 8 fingers but i don't want to go super blingy on the diamond ring, hence i am looking at just the halo and no diamond on the band itself. Any advise for me on this one?

Have you checked the "under 1 ct" thread? Or the "collection of Halos" thread? You will definitely come across expels there.

What shape is your center stone? If you have an RB it will face up larger then other cuts which will also affect the halo. Personally I love the look of a halo with a plain shank and wedding band. To me it is so elegant. Goodluck with your choice.

 

[barbiebien]

Thank you both.

i will look at those topics thank you. I am looking at a RB .46 stone at the moment.

If you go into the "SMTR helpfully threads and archive" there are the links to all different topics. That is where you will find the two threads I mentioned.

totally agree!! I've been loving that look more and more specially with diamond and gemstone stacking rings- ala Gypsy

what do you ladies and gents think?

I think the solitaire with the halo is lovely. It just adds a little extra sparkle to the ring.

What about a marguerite style ring? Small center stone, large halo. I am looking at these kinds of settings myself. Here's a Dior design I like a lot.

And, since you are in Europe, Antwerp is diamond heaven...

are you talking about the first ring posted? I think it's lovely. I believe the setting is from James Allen.

I think a halo on a .6ish stone would be lovely.

if you look at BlueNile they have pictures of recently purchased rings so you can see what they look like with different carat weights.

 

[barbiebien]

Yes the first one. I have looked on blue nile but the shots are up close so i have no idea how it wil look on the hand.

thank you but it's not realy my style.

I think the one you like would look lovely with a .6 RB

I will either get a 0.60 solitaire or the Halo with a .46 center stone to stay in the budget. i am a bit affraid the Halo will look gaudy

 

[Amys Bling]

If going with a .46 in a halo my advice would be to make sure you get a simple well done halo. If you get a very large and detailed halo it may dwarf the size of the stone and in your words be "gaudy"

 

[barbiebien]

Thank you. This is the setting. I wil show you guys the end result when it's been bought
