Adding a halo band that will be 15mm, is that too big? Show me your large round halos!

I really like the halo look, but I bought this ring as a gold alternative wedding ring, it’s a 2.5 carat round, and my e ring is a 1.5 round in cushion halo with split shank. I got this ring because I wanted a gold solitaire. While looking for a band I found this really cool band that your diamond goes up into so you can have a floating halo when you want some extra bling. I have a thing gold band I have them and they are adding the halo to it with a half basket. I’m also having my ring head changed to set higher in the 6 prong Tiffany type setting. They got the halo in and are starting on the job soon, should be coMplete on 3 weeks. I have seen a lot of posts about what is too big for a halo. I figure this way you can have the best of both with a classy solitaire, then throw on the band when you want a little extra bling for a statement piece.

The halo will be 15mm, I have a size 7 finger and long fingers as I’m 6ft tall.

I can’t wait to update with the finished product. This band could be a great way to have 2 rings in one and really please yourself or you bride to be.

I’ll post the pics once it’s finished in case anyone else likes this idea.

What a cool concept!

My halo is @15 x 17.5 mm on a size 6.5 finger.

Very unique and pretty! I was worried 15 mm might be too big on my 7!finger, but I have long fingers. So it won’t come close to my middle knuckle. Just to show finger size, this is my 2.4 ct radiant cut, looks small on my hand 5EC4C09F-008E-4954-8E10-E207991910A8.jpeg

My 2.8 ct Ec looks small on my hands too. But at least you have long elegant fingers-lol.
 
I wear a 6.5 and have multiple rings above 15mm. I don't think it will be too big. It's what you are comfortable with.
 
All of these halos are more than 15mm wide my ring fingers is a 7.5 (on my phone the photo quality looks weird in the post but if you click on it, it’s normal quality)

With a ring that size the hight will get you more than the width. Make sure it’s set as low as possible. I would also caution you to put pointy details at the side (like my zircon below) because being a large ring the sides will bump into the surrounding fingers. Doesn’t bother me but would bother some.

Hi! What a cool idea - can’t wait to see the finished product!!
I don’t think it will be too big at all but totally dependent on what you’re feeling. Mine is less a halo more a cluster, but 17.4mm on a size 5.25 finger and I definitely don’t wear it everyday.

Beautiful, I love this ring!
 
I love jewelry that you can take apart and play with so this project sounds great.
 
I hate the airline. Is there a better option or does it not bother you?
 
In order to do what I want, I have to have the airline because the diamond has to fit through the center of the halo. I think it will frame the center stone and not take away from it. I like both. My engagement ring is split shank with with cushion Halo that blends together CD07EC94-9E25-475A-BD2E-623339F08116.jpeg
 
Here for all the head shots! Go big or go home :)
