Full cut or single cut pave for a RB diamond halo?

[m-2-b]

Need the expert opinions of other PS'ers regarding full cut or single cut pave for a round brilliant diamond halo! I've seen a lot of single cut pave halos for cushion cut diamond rings but am unsure how it would look in RB ones.

Does anyone have any photos of RB diamond rings w/ single cut pave halos?

Thanks!

I would do full cuts just because they are much easier to replace if you lose one.

Ditto. I had a single cut halo, I switched to full cuts for exactly this reason. Most people want single cuts for antique so that the broader flashes of light 'match' those of the cushions.

With round brilliants, most want full cuts because then they will all be full cuts.

What are you looking to halo?

MGR--I'm selling my current halo on the preloved forum in favor of one that sits more flush against other bands. It has full cut diamonds in the halo which I love.

Just wondering if I should use single cuts on my reset of the 1.91 RB instead. I'm intrigued by the possibility of doing something different and interesting!

there was recently a thread in SMTB that had a beautiful flower halo with single cut pave. I cant find the thread but the ring is by victor canera and is here http://www.victorcanera.com/jewelry...lower-halo-solitaire-with-multi-row-pave.html

Agree with this. Full cuts for modern rb, single cuts for antique cut centers (and order a couple of extra single cuts in case you ever lose one).

I'd probably talk to the jeweler that will make the halo to get his input. I'm like everyone else and leaning toward the full cut stones for a more uniform appearance and ease of replacement. Do you have a particular style halo ring in mind?
