expert advice & photoshop help wanted, please

[BKmommy]

After over a year of lurking, drooling, and a handful of posts, I have a ring design in mind. I''d like expert opinions on the possibility of the design, and a photoshop miracle, so I can get an idea of how this will actually look. Any input is welcomed and appreciated!

I want a spring cut center diamond, around 7mm x 5mm, first image on this page:www.springcut.com/content/index.html

I''d like a baguette or trap halo around it, 8 stones (not 12) like this:

and I''d like it in this setting, or as close as possible:http://www.engagement-ring-mountings.com/classic_ring_settings_ELEGANT_ASSCHER_CUT_DIAMOND_RING_SETTING_1567.htm

I love that the bezel smoothly flows into the shank, without looking raised above it like a separate piece. I don''t want diamonds on the shank. What do you think? Thanks in advance.

Is this the pic you were wanting to post?

Quick and VERY dirty... but like this?

Oh I just saw you like the shank to slope up to the center stone... like this?

YES! That''s what I pictured. Thank you! So, opinions? Does the baguette halo work with this stone? Even if you hate it, tell me.

I think it needs a little pave, or something on the shoulders. Maybe even more baguettes?

Yes. It seems like all the bezel halo settings I''ve seen appear to be a separate piece attached to the shank. I wonder if that''s personal preference or a functional /safety reason? Anyone know?

Hmm... maybe one flush set horizontally baguette on either side? I''d like it to be as simple as possible. Or maybe just a split shank would add to it...

I actually loved it before the baguette...just a plain bezel as the stone itself is so beautiful.
