I've posted here before about my search for the best value for my insurance money. I've seen so many diamonds (various jewelers and through James Allen), and I keep coming back to my original choice.
A .94, IF, G oval with ideal proportions (7.95x5.17x3.10). It's quite a bit smaller than the princess diamond I lost (1.21 @6.06x5.45x4.17) but I wanted something a little different. I've always loved solitaires, simple and classic with a high setting. So, even considering a halo is a big leap for me. I had the oval set in a shared prong, .38, 30 stone eternity semi mount (1.9mm).
Now, I'm considering switching the simple white gold peghead out for a delicate halo. I have zero knowledge of halos and the different styles. I don't know if my oval should be slightly higher than the halo or flush or if it would even look right at all? My oval is only 3.10 deep, so would it look odd (empty) from beneath?
I feel like my oval needs just a little something extra, maybe because it's smaller than what I'm used to. Here is how it looks now? I plan to go to Jared to order the halo head, but what size stones would look best, etc.?
