10 mm round with Art Deco halo? Any examples come to mind?

[petrock<3]

Hi! I’m considering putting a halo like this Tacori but tweaked by CVB. Initially was set on a solitaire design since the stone for me is large enough. BUT I saw this setting a few years ago and it’s truly amazing. I think done by Caysie it would be magical. The stock photos don’t make it look great but in person I love it.
Is it going to be too huge?? It’s a right hand ring so I think I have some freedom there to be a bit much if I want. I know it’s a matter of personal style but if anyone has some hand shots or real life perspective that would be awesome!! I’m trying to envision it. It’s not a dainty halo. Thank you. Posting some other similar styles I’ve found for fun and eye candy.

Trying to estimate the size difference with the halo…

And just adding some other similar looks for fun I found along the way

Other settings I’ve considered- thought I’d post in case it gives someone else some ideas.
I don’t think I’m ever going to settle on a setting- I like so many different things. Is this normal?!?!? Help!

It wouldn't be too big for Me! I think since it's a right hand ring you can definitely pull off something large and dramatic. Sounds exciting. Can't wait to see the final product.

@petrock<3 I think your stone will look great with a halo

I had almost the same dilemma and I scoured the boards looking for examples.

I started this thread as a reference-it might be helpful...

Show me your Round Stone as a Solitaire and with a Halo/Bezel

:wavey:@Vanilla Bling 's gorgeous reset to a solitaire got me thinking-halos/ bezels are so visually transformative. While there are many individual SMTB threads of diamonds set as solitaires and then reset with halos/bezels, I couldn't find a centralized reference thread. I thought it might...

Went to look at settings to try to get a better perspective of what I like.
Thought I’d share some of goodies I saw

The Tacori halo was so beautiful. Despite looking bulky on the computer screen it was super delicate and like a fairy snowflake. It’s gorgeous! I’m totally undeterred by the large size it would be. Bring it on!
Suprisingly, my concern was if the halo was going to be bright vs the center stone? It seemed like it would be. If there’s a noticeable difference there it’s going to bug me. So I don’t know.
I just wanted to take that Emerald cut home and call it a day. They said it was about 7 ct!! Swoon. I love the baguette settings.

Oh…how many carats is this round one? Love the size on you! Is it a transitional cut?

Would you consider a halo with a faux bezel like mine? I ended up going with mrb melee vs oec or single cut. It totally works for me I think partially bc the center stone is slightly elevated above the halo.

The Tacori halo looks amazing on you and would look beautiful with a 10mm round! What is the setting on the right in the photo, with the princess?

Mine is a tad different since the halo isn't the same color but my stone is almost 10mm, like 9.8mm. Finger is 7 if it helps. I could easily go bigger, DH on the other hand. The low profile setting probably helps.

I thought this ring looked really great. They said it was almost 10 mm I think. Shoot I didn’t ask what kind of cut it was.
So when you have a halo like yours do you think that helps even out the brightness issue? Since the center stone is elevated? I love your ring! It’s gorgeous!

I loooooove this. I was considering emeralds in the halo. So pretty. I have some saved with emerald

I know this one is from PS but I can’t remember who to give credit to.

That bottom one belongs to @elle_71125.

If this is a right hand I encourage a colored halo but I have found it a tad limiting as to what I can pair with it. Ruby bands look Christmasy, light blues do not work. I can do navy sapphires and I have to be careful to try and match the tone of emerald bands.

I will say the asscher shaped halo i have makes stacking a dream. I don't think it would be as flattering if it were round. At least on me.

Yes, exactly! Here’s a side pic to illustrate. I also love the flexibility of the faux bezel bc I can easily salvage the setting if I ever upgrade

Thank you!! Oh geeze I forget who made that one I’m sorry

That’s so neat I never would have thought the halo was lower like that! So cool! What a gorgeous setting.
and very smart to be planning ahead haha

This style is kinda cool. What I do know is one day I need a 5+ emerald!!
