Favorite platinum halos UNDER $3000

[teobdl]

I'm looking for your favorite halo settings with pave for under $3000.

Some that I'm seriously considering include

JbEG Kylie halo ($2,600) -- http://jewelsbyericagrace.smugmug.com/SignatureSettingsPortfolio/Halo/The-Kylie-Halo-with-Micro/12883490_GTBxks#!i=962882847&k=RNpbLLs

Whiteflash's Guinevere ($2200) -- http://www.whiteflash.com/engagement-rings/diamond-settings/gunievere-pave-diamond-engagement-ring-2099.htm

and Ritani french set ($2200) -- cushion halo http://www.ritani.com/engagement-rings/french-set-halo-diamond-band-engagement-ring-in-platinum/4973 or round halo http://www.ritani.com/engagement-rings/french-set-halo-diamond-band-engagement-ring-in-platinum/4975

Are there any other good options out there???

*how is the melee of JbEG? If i'm not mistaken, I think they're single-cut?*

This one is SLIGHTLY above the $3k mark, but pretty awesome (I prefer plain shank w/ halo):

I have the Blue Nile Duet halo and adore it!

Pave is very white and sparkly.

Ya, the BG Allie is quite beautiful and I'd get a discount. But in the end I just don't think it's a good value, especially when WF has a similar design for $1500 cheaper.

That said, I do worry about losing melee diamonds, and no diamonds on the shank is a nice solution. I think she wants to be iced all over, though, and the JbEG has diamonds on the shank, struts, and donut for still $500 cheaper.

How about this? No pave on the shank but still a lot of bling!

I have that last round Ritani halo you linked, OP. The melee is very very sparkly and gorgeous.

I'd see if pearlmans could get this for under 3k. I've heard they can cut the ritani website prices by 15% ish

I've had that setting for a pear with a plain shank. It's built like a tank! You would never worry about diamonds falling out. The setting I loved also because it had that gap in the bottom. It allowed for it to fit well in summer and cold. Plus the melee was amazing!!! The bezel is so tight and and delicate. Plus makes the stone look a tad bigger.

I love the Ritani French set and I think it is the best quality for the money.

Are you in a hurry? Cause one of our members is revealing a new line of jewelry in the next couple weeks. I think there is going to be a halo in there.

Nope--no rush at all. Thanks for the heads up, Gypsy! Will there be an announcement on Rocky Talky or pre-loved?

I will probably link to it on Rocky Talky when I see it out.
