Option 2
Forget the swirly sides and get it set with step cut, channel set diamonds (like this but with no halo). I wonder if step cut side diamonds would match the facets of an OMC better?

Option 3
Something similar to Kate Beckinsale’s set (I love the contrasting bands). But, what do you think about this style with a bezel instead of prongs? But, how can I still make the underside pretty? Should I get a basket setting with pave diamonds? Option 4 Something else? Ideas? Thanks for your help!

I''d vote for a Leon and James Meyer mixed setting. I think you should take the swirly design and ring from the Leon and have the center stone set with the james meyer style bezel with that gorgeous millgrain. I would have Leon do it. It would be absolutely gorgeous. Maybe someone can photoshop it for you. Can''t wait to see what you choose and how it turns out.

I''m a "less is more" kinda gal, so this version appeals most to me. And the look you would be going for reminded me of this LM setting with a cushion, in case you hadn''t seen it. I absloutely love this, and think the French cut side stones go perfectly. Real life pics on page 3. |

What French Cuts??  You (or the other thread) mean squares (or Carre)??

Yes, whatever those little stones on the band are.  The poster, who worked with Leon to make the ring called them that, I just "assumed" they knew what they were?

Absolutely agree!! It's a stunning setting. I know there are a lot of halos on PS and I have one also. IRL I see very few halo engagement rings. I would go for the setting as is

You have probably seen this, but here is a video of a GOG OMC in a tacori halo. I think it is stunning! I really want to halo mine but it didn''t work out with my round so I''m nervous to try it again.

THANK YOU!
This is so very helpful! I''ve been in a hopeless rut for two weeks trying to figure out the setting, and I feel reenergized now. So... the Leon Mege without the halo: I worry about not knowing what the ring will look like from the top. I''m not sure I want it to look like a split shank, but my fiance loves the swirl, so I have a sweet spot for it (it''s the only design he''s had a strong opinion about). I just don''t think a ~7mm stone is wide enough to lay on top of the swirls. I asked Leon, and he said he needs to see the stone before he can really talk details. But I''m nervous to do that without a bit of assurance it can be done. He also advised against matching the melee to the color of the center stone, and against a filigree basket because it would make it look to old... I think Leon is a master at what he does, but I got the impression that reproduction rings were not his favorite. The 23rd Street Jewelers design is actually my absolute favorite, but at 6K, a little too expensive for my comfort level. DIamondseeker2006, thanks for the advice. I''ll check with Singlestone. Does anyone have photos of rings on hand with that triple wire band (besides the lovely JM rings)? Thanks so much, Ellen, for the link to the channel set cushion-- very helpful and what a gorgeous ring! I need to check on the availability of lower colored Cehrabehra, the font is Candara :) Shimmer, the video was so helpful! I had NOT seen it before. Thank you so much! My next steps: check with Singlestone and keep checking for more helpful advice! If anyone is able to photoshop the LM ring with just a bezel, I would be very grateful! I''ll also post some pics of my stone. Thank you everyone! |

Oops -- posted in the wrong thread. Heh! Here''s what I meant to say here ...
"I think either the Leon with a milgrained bezel (no halo) -OR- the one Ellen posted with a milgrained bezel & channels would be TO DIE FOR."

Shimmer, I LOVE that Singlestone setting! I wasn''t sure, though, how it would work with a cushion. Here is another SS style I considered a few weeks ago... I know, I''m all over the place with settings! It''s just so hard to make up my mind and stick to it...

Gorgeous diamond! I had leon quote that exact setting(the halo) and it was a bit over so 6K, so it''s the same as the 23rd St. Have you thought about getting a quote from Maytal Hannah? She quoted one for me that was very similar to the 23rd St and it was 3.5K. She does beautiful work. Have fun deciding!

Here''s a look at my Beverley K ering with a triple wire band. It is very delicate and comfortable. Good luck with your choice. All are beautiful and will compliment that stone nicely!!
