Hi everyone,
I'm in the process of re-setting my EC into a micro pave halo but am unsure of what type of melee to go with. I have been in contact with a couple of vendors and they have differing opinions.
One suggested using single cut melee which would match better with step cuts and antique faceted stones. I thought that made sense since I've read on here that they give off bolder flashes of light than full cut diamonds.
But then I was told by another vendor that since we would be using very small diamonds, I would actually have less flashes of light from the single cuts. He recommended using full cuts but ultimately left the decision up to me.
The setting will be for 1.26ct EC and for the halo, I plan on using half pointers. The band will be about 1.8mm.
Does anyone have pics of single and full cut halos for a side by side comparison?
I've never seen single cut stones in person and would greatly appreciate everyone's advice.
TIA!!!
