I went to East Queen Jewelers last night to look for a stone and start designing my engagement ring.  (my boyfriend went to, but he really wants me to do what I want)  She had a beautiful halo ring with an emerald in it, but I want a ruby for the center stone. She didnt have any rubies over 2cts, but will be leaving in Sept for Bangkok where she is on the mission to find me a ruby.  I want 2.25-2.5 round or cushion ruby surrounded in diamonds with a pave shank.  However I want to be able to wear a wedding band that will fit next to this.  Is this possible? Does the center stone have to be set higher.  I dont know all too much about settings, I just know what I like.  So any advice or pics of halo rings with wedding bands would be great!

Thanks for those!  I want a band that I can wear on its own, so I want to stray away from a curved band if possible.  Those are both stunning though!

Here's noonersmom's halo ring. you can see how the halo is set up a little higher so a wedding band will be able to sit flush underneath.

Thank you again.  I have a few months till I have the ruby, but the more ideas i get the better.  I hope it turns out nearly as beautiful as these.

Hi MsFlutter and welcome to PS.  MrsSalvo found some great examples.  I wanted an eternity wedding band I could wear on its own (or with my e-ring) so when my halo ring was designed, the gallery area is set up just high enough that my wedding band sits flush with the rear shank of my ring.  I hope that makes sense.

Thanks for your help.  If anyone has pictures of a pave halo on an oval stone, that would help me out considerably.  All the pictures I like are of cushions, but i really want a round or oval.  Advice????
