I'm a new member and have been reading and appreciating all postings as I plan a custom ring. It will be a forged platinum halo setting. Antique cushion stone just over 2.25 ct weight. I'm will be looking at Leon, Steven and Victor. I want something more durable so I'm not looking for a super thin shank/halo. My question is this...is 2.2 mm too big. Also, as I've read and have been told, the halo would be same or similar size. I want bling but is this too much or should I back off and stay at 2 mm. Also, I've read about Leon wanting to set a stone low. Can someone tell me why he choses to do this. I have a tendency to think that someone who does for a living knows best but should I consider something in particular as far as height.
