Though I know she will be in good hands and well taken care of
Now I have to figure out if I need a spacer or not...really don't want to have one but I want to protect my two precious babies when I wear them together!

Can I be really annoying and ask you a few questions.
1. what is the size of the melee used in your halo?
2. what are the dimensions of your centre stone?
3. what are the size of the melee on your band?
4. Did you angle your halo at all?
5. what is the actual dimensions of the whole halo?

Hi Lauren!
You are not annoying at all! Glad I can help! Here is the info:
1. what is the size of the melee used in your halo?
2 pointers (0.02 ct)
2. what are the dimensions of your centre stone?
6.67x6.69x4.05
3. what are the size of the melee on your band?
2 pointers in the band and not exactly sure what size they are in the split but should know once I get the appraisal from Mark.
4. Did you angle your halo at all?
Yes-30 degree tilt
5. what is the actual dimensions of the whole halo?
Just measuring it with my ruler, to me it looks to be 10mm. My last one was 12mm and had a bit more finger coverage even with the same sized melee, but it didn't have the halo tilt so that is why. I personally LOVE this one so much more!! Much more aesthetically pleasing to my eye
Also the ring is a size 6 as I wanted it to be a little loose.
Hope that helps! Let me know if there is anything else you would like to know![]()

Thank you sooooo much!!! It's all the little specifications that are soooo important and I'm trying to design mine as close to perfection as possible before I send it away.
I wondered whether you chose a 30deg angle for the halo after looking at similar or you have always wanted that? One jeweler said to me that 7deg is what he does (I'm not see you'd even notice hehe) and I just don't know how to determine this.
Did you give Mark and freedom with his suggestions and recommendations or
Did you have every aspect carefully planned out? Did you have pics of the cad at all? Or was it hand made?

I think I'm getting closer, I'll likely stick with 2 pointers as per my current halo. I thing a 25-30deg halo will be a vast improvement.
I'm so nervous of "diamond shrinkage" not my centre but the whole halo on my hand, which will be a tiny bit smaller when I remove metal a airline.
I've attached a pic of my current setting for your opinion too, if you'll indulge me.
I also wondered whether you may feel comfortable sharing you cad And wax images from ERD? I love the finished product but would love to see th process and compare.
I am undecided on split shank or single.....
Thanks again, I never thought setting a diamond would consume my every thought hehe.
I do sometimes have a very naughty thought of upgrading my diamond again to keep a great finger coverage...... I will likely be divorced though hehe.

davidsbfly - Lovely ring. It looks so STRONG even with all that pave and a really well made ring.

Whilst still toying with an upgrade....... I have given Mark these instructions thus far:
* 1.5 pointers on the halo, whatever you feel is the correct size for the band.
* subtle split like Paula's ring and like the Vincent canera Anne Marie
* second row of pavè on the edge of the halo like victor canera "emilya with two row pavè" (this is what it's called on their site) - will this pavè be the same size as the halo pavè 1.5pointers?
* cushion shaped halo
* white gold
* 3/4 band of pavè
* finger size Australian "i" which I'm pretty are equates to a 4 1/2 American.
* minimal metal visible on halo
* unsure yet as too single or double claw prongs....

So did Mark know what ring you were referring to when you said you wanted a split like Paula's? lol...or did you show him the pics? He probably knew lol
Anyway yours sounds like it will be amazing and I can't WAIT to see the finished product!! The pave on the edge of the halo sounds beautiful!! Also you have tiny fingers! I used to take a 4.25 (my first wedding set) 21 years ago and my new rings I had made into a size 6! I like them a little bit loose and funny thing is, is that I am just as thin as I was back then! lol![]()
