So, the diamond is in my bf's possession.. (in a temp setting) and now I am trying to decide on what to place the beauty in. (Btw, GOG did a remarkable job in putting together an appraisal document for insurance purposes).
Originally we were going to have a true antique with a budget to the tune of 16k.. however upon re-evaluating priorities, have decided to put the bulk of the ring budget into the fund for the down-payment of a house.
I have been measured at a 3.5 to a 3.75 ring size and do want finger coverage [but not overwhelm the stone], thus I felt a halo would be most appropriate to get as much finger coverage as possible. We have a budget of 4.5k max for the setting.
1. Victor Canera: with a halo similar to those that have been posted recently. comes in at a little over 4k (hand forged in platinum)

2. JBEG Halo (bella) but i am unsure of how it will look with a cushion? (awaiting a quote currently for platinum/rosegold)
3. Or the cheapest option, a Beverlyk in white gold.
Or what other options do you gals/guys suggest?
