Warning! If you don't like "gingerbread" around your diamond (that's what my husband calls it), and you prefer a "cleaner" look to your ring, then this isn't the ring for you! If you like an old world, early 20th century, "downton abbey" look, then you might like this.)
We upgraded from my GIA "good" 1.71 Esi2 ( which was reduced to 1.68 after polishing out a natural at the girdle) solitaire to an ideal cut (1A, Gia triple ex, hca <2, david atlas said the cut was perfect and the stone was on the high end of its color and clarity grades) RB 3.03 J Si2 set in a double halo. The inner halo consists of 2.5 point round stones and the outer Hal consists of bezel set rounds, princesses, and pears. There is three sided pave and miligrain along the bindi visual bezels and the band.
It's a complicated ring, but very dainty and not at all clunky. The diamonds in the setting weigh 2.58 carats and it is set in platinum. I will post my really awful photos in just a minute.
