Looking for my forever upgrade and might have found the one! Thoughts?
2 carat G color Emerald cut, halo, and trapezoid side stones

My current setting and .9 carat transitional center stone

I often think halos on 3 stones can be too much bling, but this one looks so beautiful with its proportions. I liked this so much, I showed it to my friend who is interested in 3 stone emeralds and she thought the halo competed with the center stone, so that's just something to consider. I think it looks amazing on you though!

I think it’s really beautiful. It’s like the best of a three stone and a halo style. And you obviously love a halo. I think the side stones are fabulous, and I like how the shank matches the halo, so it all works together and the halo really outlines the step cut stones and makes them pop. I would never grow tired of that ring!

It's all nicely proportioned given everything that's going on there. A beautiful ring

Same stone in a simpler setting. Thoughts? I do love the idea of the three stone since this upgrade is for my 20th anniversary and four kids later, but I want to make sure I’m not overdoing it.

I’m a less is more kind of gal, but in this case I personally prefer the 3 stone. A large emerald with side traps! Swoon! Just out of curiosity does the jeweler have the 3 stone without the halo? Either way it’s a gorgeous setting.

It looks to be a pretty stone. Make sure the facets are lighting up (turning on/off) all the way down into the center. Make sure there are not too many
off facets (black/dark) when facing straight on.

I actually prefer the halo without side stones (for me) however, the one with side stones is also very pretty. Doesnt look like you can make a bad choice.

I love the halo with the traps. I think it looks lovely.

I’m not usually a fan of halos with 3 stones, but this one really works. It is a lot, but still has a delicate quality about it. The proportions work and everything flows very well together.

I’m trying to decide if it’s too much ring for me. I’m not really a fancy person, but for some reason I’m really drawn to these rings with a lot of coverage. I think because I have really long fingers and large hands, the smaller more delicate rings just feel lost on me.

Both rings look great on you and have nice presence. The single stone with halo does bring out the center stone more, and has a more timeless look to it. It's up to you whether you want a simpler look, or more bling and coverage!
