Between 1mm and 1.3 mm halo?
 
It is a minute difference... but not sure what type of hairs we are splitting here.... :twirl:
 
I was worried about 1.3 looking too big in a CAD but then saw them in person and laughed at myself. Just wondered if anyone else here went slightly smaller in their halos too and if they saw a discernible difference between the two.
 
There will be a visual difference. Whether you are being too picky just depends. For me, consider it a relevant difference. But for others, maybe not.

Have them put 4 1.3mm stones in the halo wax, on one side. And then 2 1mm stones in the wax on the other. Pick which ones your eyes like more. That's the point of a wax, so you can see the stones on there in real life.
 
Good idea, gypsy. But once the wax is cut they can change that part without sdtarting it over again? I already have the wax for the 1.3mm so I'll have him do that.
 
No. Just have him put both sizes on the wax as it is. One size on one half, the other on the other half. Just use your imagination for fit of the halo/metal for the smaller stones. It's not complicated, it's just so you can see what size stones you prefer.
 
Will do. And you always recommend a slight angle on the halo right?
 
Are you implying splitting hairs is a bad thing?
 
Well if I'm wasting my time and stressing over something barely noticeable then yes, it's bad. I don't want to nuts over.3 mm
 
I do always recommend a tilt. 8)
