This DK ring

[Rfisher]

This is from DK's Instagram. Does the owner happen to be on here?!!?
It's beautiful!
Are these considered collet set stones in the halo?
Or what would you call them?
Closest I could find is this one

Which really looks like collets.

I've recently come to the conclusion that I 'need' a halo...........

There’s a similar one (could be the same) with a brown center that I think might be fortekitty’s

That halo does look like an antique collet style. I wonder if DK incorporated the halo from an old ring.

I’m also a huge fan of the more floral look. I still kind of regret not jumping on this one (click to enlarge):

Yes! That's sure pretty as well, but those are set much differently.

That's beautiful- I'm loving the daisy-ish vibe!
I'm thinking pulled from antique as well, I just haven't seen other examples yet.

They’re a little less common but I do see antique ones pop up on IG from time to time.

I've had talks with DKJ about doing something similar, but more along the lines of the Leon Mege Lotus ring, which I *think* he no longer does. I prefer this style of setting the sides, as it doesn't have metal right around the side stones. My plan was to set my yellow sapphire like this - and I may still. There's a couple of significant changes I'd make to this design, but this is the general idea re pointed tips and not fully encompassing the sides in metal.

 

[Rfisher]

What? Your yellow sapphire three stone or a different yellow sapphire @mrs-b ?
Leon’s is pretty!
I bought a blue sapphire - don’t have it yet- that I think is screaming out for a setting like this. I’ve even picked out a gallery. I am so ahead of myself it ain’t funny.
We shall see.

@Rfisher -

It was a true line ball which setting I went with for the yellow sapphire. I went with the three stone, but I have to be honest, I can't shake this whole daisy design!

That top ring in the first post isn't what I normally consider collet set. I do love that style halo, though! Fortunately I have seen antique rings with that style, so I think anyone is free to make one like it!

This is what I usually see called a collet setting. However, I have seen collet used for bezel setting. And I would consider that top halo with bezel or bead set stones.

Just playing around.....

DS, I find this comment a bit off putting.

@Rfisher I love your design mockup. I especially like different graduated diamond size in the halo or petal look.

Thank you for the compliment on the mock-up. We will see where it goes!

And for the other comment-
Unfortunately it’s the elephant in the room.
I deeply regret my participation in a different thread that lead to this direction. Was never my intent.

Just to make sure there is no misunderstanding, my comment was not directed to any person. There was a comment above about LM having made that style halo before and was maybe no longer making it. Antique rings are not currently being made by the original maker and can be reproduced by current jewelry makers. This is certainly one of them (I used to have a picture of an antique ring with this exact style halo), and DK did a nice job on the halo!

My comment about the elephant in the room was directed towards the PS community board generally. I should have worded it differently. There's been comments made over multiple threads by different posters over the past week here that I don't think would have been said, had that one thread gone differently.

Daisies are addicting!
