Custom Reset by Julie Lamb NY

Long time everyone! Missing the gold old days of stalking this forum before IG existed

Well cutting to the chase, I had a 1.8ct D/SI1 pear cut set in a heavier milgrain halo and was looking to reset the stone in something a bit more sleek and modern and less gaudy (though, I secretly do love gaudy haha). So I reached out to a dear friend of mine Julie Lamb (www.JulieLambNY.com) to get the project started. While halos aren’t really popular anymore, I still love them so wanted a dainty one to frame the stone and a way to incorporate my initials MM into the basket. Everything came out great, but now I just I have to get use to the “shrinkage” since there is much less bulk

So without further ado... here’s some eye candy

What a beautiful stone and I love your reset! I also think that well done halo settings are still very much in style. Congrats!

I love this! Absolutely stunning!

A beautiful transformation! I do disagree with you, tho, that halos aren't in style. I think halos are a classic and will always be in style.

And a well done pear halo like yours is *always* beautiful and elegant and a classic!

Congratulations on this beauty - a great update and a huge improvement to a gorgeous ring!

My gosh what a stunning ring. I absolutely adore your halo setting. This, IMO, will always be in style. Beautiful jewelry always is. Elegant and sophisticated. Wear in good health and blingy joy.

What a lovely reset! Your pear is just beautiful
The MM on the gallery is so sweet, too!

Thanks for all the kind words everyone! Missed the PS community and happy to contribute some blingy pictures to the forum again

I will forever love halos and glad the PS family agrees! I was told by a jeweler recently that they aren't as popular anymore *shrug*
Anyways, happy holidays and stay safe everyone!
