Re: James Allen 1.5 rb J vs1 platinum decorative bridge size
I think the setting looks lovely on your hand and has lots of presence! I don't think it takes away from your diamond, your stone looks big and beautiful. But what matters is that you love it, and you seem to be having mixed emotions. Do you think you would be happier with a halo setting with just a pave band, like the ring in my profile pic?
Re: James Allen 1.5 rb J vs1 platinum decorative bridge size
To me, Generally side stones and halos do take away some focus from the center stone. But the overall look is an blingier look with much more finger coverage. Depends on what you would rather see. Maybe it doesn't take away to your eyes, but you seem uncertain. Sometimes it takes wearing it to determine what your eye focuses on and what is most important to you.
Re: James Allen 1.5 rb J vs1 platinum decorative bridge size
I think it is beautiful, but as others have said, you are the one who has to love it! The only thing I'd probably change is to make the side diamonds larger and fit the halos. I think we are all drawn to beautiful, blingy settings, but sometimes they are not so practical for real life. You are the only one who can answer that for yourself! Your diamond looks gorgeous!
Re: James Allen 1.5 rb J vs1 platinum decorative bridge size
It's very pretty! It looks beautiful on you, but as others said...You have to love it! I do agree with diamondseekers comment about the side halos though. Maybe that's what is throwing you off because the eye is possibly drawn to the design in the side halo?
Re: James Allen 1.5 rb J vs1 platinum decorative bridge size
You're not crazy. The side diamonds certainly take away from the center. If you had bigger side stones with symmetry matching the center they would pull the ring together much better. Or simply just go for the single center and perhaps a halo around it. That center stone is very nice and I'd make it stand out more if possible.
Re: James Allen 1.5 rb J vs1 platinum decorative bridge size
Thank you everyone. I wore it all day yesterday but am still torn. I really love a center stone with halo but am not crazy about the thin bands they all seem to have especially since I don't have those nice long thin fingers! But I love the milgrain and vintage look thid ring has. My husband keeps saying "do you really want what everyone else has this ring is so you," lol. This is my last upgrade so I just want to be sure and I want to make sure me liking the halos I see everyone wearing isn't temporary since this is my last e-ring!
