Does anyone where a marquise stone with a diamond halo?  If I wanted to order something like that for my marquise what would I need to consider and look for ????  How big are the halo diamonds?  I don't want to take away :)

that was my 1st thought, too, LLL !!! I love that ring!!  But your center looks like it is probably a bit larger........It would probably still work, though, or at least something similar!!!

I would go with 1 to 2 pointers in the halo, depending on the size of your stone, but no larger so as not to overshadow the center stone!

Are those rings custom or already made up??  Just wondering re: the differences in proportions w/marquise stones......

They are beautiful settings.....

And I don't know where I got this picture from, but I love it!

Maxine, they're just pictures I dug up, but I think any of the vendors who do custom work will work with you in terms of proportion of the melee versus the center stone (I think the settings are made to order).

I'm going to have my marquise done with a halo as well, I think...but for a pendant, and its about the size of Clementines. Anyway, I like the look of small sparkles so I was going to go with one pointers i think. might do two. but thats what i'd stick wiht at least. i bet your ring would look great with that!

Wow beautiful!  The rings are not a set I have actually ordered 1/2 ct. white gold band for each side verses the yellow.  Also, we upgraded the center stone from .75 to 1.75ct.  I lhe halo setting and thougt it would look good in white gold.  What do you think

Last one again from storage in my favorite ring file.

I had considered doing a halo (Leon or WF) as well. After seeing all the *Bling* here I decided to go with a marquise shape (11x6) because it's not so popular right now. Then I saw a Tacori and I was hooked on the shape with a tiny tiny halo. The price was astronomical and the diamond really wasn't all that great either, Wayyy over priced.

I had a local jeweler mount the marquise on an antique eternity band, it's stunning. So for now I've decided to forgo the halo. If a jewler can at some point rework a head with a halo and keep it mounted on the eterntiy band then my ring would be perfect.

For which option? You'd have to go custom for any of those probably...so contact a custom vendor either online here or locally to you.

I adore that DCD E/W marquis set...YUM!
