 Ok, seriously. Something delicate. 4 prongs, rather than 6. Or, going another direction, perhaps a half-bezel. John |

I agree with strmrdr, a halo setting will make it look bigger and sparkly.

Definitely a halo. Or a really thin band with very discrete prongs. ________________________________ |

My first instinct was a halo as well: We have made a lot of these lately. Then I assumed (perhaps wrongly) that she might want to set it simply, since it was a gift and she may not have a large budget for the setting. If she has further resources the idea of a colored stone halo is nice. John |

I would say a bezel set. I wish you well, Bridget Pterodactyls rule. Except for the whole being extinct thing. |

Another vote here for a halo, and one with sapphires would really make it pop, as Storm suggested.

Date: 1/8/2006 8:27:38 PM ROTFL.Author: JohnQuixote How about this? I would think a half bezel or a very fine four prong, perhaps one that even nips in just before it meets the head. -Matatora Courage is the price that life extracts for granting peace Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor. |

Another vote for halo. Then again I'm a sucker for halos!

Another vote for halo. However, I would not suggest a colored stone halo. I was considering that style, until I noticed that it didn't do much to improve the appearance of stone size. I think the color formed such a discrete border around the center stone, that the diamond didn't "grow" in good lighting. Does anyone know what I am talking about? I sometimes feel like I can't really judge the size of well cut stones in good lighting since the sparkle makes the light bounce all over. With a colored border, it is always obvious what the dimensions of the stone are. Munchkin

Colored stone halo? I have never seen one of those but that sounds really cool.

I would say a halo with the diamond prong set just above it. I have seen that here on PS and it is quite nice...If her budget truly cannot handle the investment of even a modest halo, then cathedral set, but the halo is my vote as well...
