Need Help with a New Halo Setting :)

karissa Rough Rock Total Posts: 13 Last Post: 5/17/2006 Member Since: 1/9/2006	Hello everyone. Hope all has been well with all of u. I have a question to ask. I am considering purchasing a different setting for my diamond. I want a natalie K setting that has a halo on it. I really fell in love with this setting but the only problem is I don't exactly know how my diamond will look in this setting (my diamond is .75 carat round H&A). I would like to see it and the estimated size that it would be, but i haven't found anything similar to it online. Another problem is that I have been told that once a hearts and arrows diamond is surrounded by other diamonds it will not have the same intensity and fire that it would have if it were mounted by itself. If anyone knows of a website that has .75 carat round size diamond in this particular setting I WOULD REALLY APPRECITATE IT IF U LET ME KNOW ABOUT IT. Here is the link of the setting http://www.firenzejewels.com/diamonds/info/28-Natalie-K-73-1479-000-LADY-S-1.38CT-NATALIE-K-ANTIQUE-STYLE-DIAMOND-PLATINUM-ENGAGEMENT-RING-MOUNTING-000-.html I am really anxious to see how a diamond the size of mine looks in this setting. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

You will still be able to see the arrows as diamonds reflect light from the top, I don't think the halo will take anything away from your stone. I think they are a nice addition ----------------------------- A deal is only a deal if you are getting exactly what you want.

I've never heard that before. Personally, I think it will only add to the intensity and fire. As far as size, I would estimate that the halo will add about 2 to 3 mm to the diameter of your diamond -- quite substantial. I have not seen a halo that I did not like.

karissa Rough Rock Total Posts: 13 Last Post: 5/17/2006 Member Since: 1/9/2006	So it will add approximately 2-3mm diameter to my diamond. Wow! Does any one have any pictures of how this might look?? I REALLY APPRECIATE EVERY ONE'S RESPONSES. THANK U.

Imurden also reset her .71 stone into a halo. you can read her thread by clicking here here's a preview.. before and after ----------------------------- A deal is only a deal if you are getting exactly what you want.

I have seen Lmurden's ring in person, both before and after, and the differece between the solitaire and halo is amazing. Her center stone is approxiamtely the same diameter as yours, Karissa, so you get the idea. DiamondLil ________________ "Diamonds are nothing more than chunks of coal that stuck to their jobs."
