Anyone knows details about Tiffany Soleste?

[pricescopenewbie]

I am in the process of a custom made ring inspired by tiffany soleste and I hope it would be as similar as possible. could anyone share some detailed information of Tiffany Soleste? such as:
width of each halo (melee size)
width of the band
any tilt angle of the halos?
how rounded are the halos?
melees single cut or full cut?
....
any information would be appreciated!

I believe the melee size varies slightly depending on the size of the center stone. Tiffany custom makes it for every shape from a round to a pear.

For a one carat center stone I estimate about 1mm diamonds (halfpointers) in each of the halos. Delicate.

It's a beautiful look, and has been copied often. Do work with a jeweler who has done Soleste replicas before and has examples/pictures to show you. The "Erica" at Brilliantly Engaged is very close to the Soleste, though the diamonds extend 3/4 down the shank, not halfway as with the Soleste. And you get some extra pave on the baskets.

One trick: sometimes from the top view you can't tell the Tiffany Soleste has a split shank (hidden under the halo). With sloppier copies the split shank is more pronounced and obvious from the top view.
