There was a lot of agonising over the style, but all out of my hands now. I hope to be able to get some pictures during the process!
TruLuv858, I have a 1.13ct solitaire, in a 6 claw platinum tiffany style band, with the band tapering in as it comes up to the shank. I was looking at doing a reset with a halo, so what I'm doing is a variation on that. My jeweller is putting 10 ten point diamonds around it, each one individually set. My big stone will be slightly higher than the surrounding ones.
We are able to reuse the platinum band, and will decide when I see the setting whether to put diamonds into that, but probably not.
How exciting! I will be resetting my ring into a halo as well, it is a very fun process, even just the research portion! I look forward to reading about your progress! Good luck!!
