Gabriel & Co Halo setting

[malish985]

I really like this setting http://idjewelryonline.com/product_info.php?cPath=42_133&products_id=14080&cType=ER but am scared of buying something i haven't seen. Does anyone know of Maryland retails that carry this brand? Also, for a J colored center 2ct stone - what stones in the halo would your recommend? Stick with H or go down to I/J?
Thanks

Here is a 5c J honker in a halo. On page 3 she describes her search for the perfect 5 c stone and she chose a GIA J color.

I have a halo setting from Gabriel and Company for my 2.5 ct "M" colored stone. The melee in the halo are 'G/H' Vs1-
VS2. There is a contrast but your stone will look whiter than mine. Here is a photo for reference. PS - I wear the ring 24/7 and the quality of the setting is excellent. Hope this helps.

There was a G & Co setting I was previously interested in and I just called a few local stores to see if they carried that brand and if they could call in the ring for me to see. I was surprised to find that quite a few vendors in my area carry their settings.

That looks gorgeous!!! thanks for posting. do you by chance have a hand shot and what is your finger size? And which model do you have in what metal???? THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!

Thank you! I love my ring and am so happy with the setting. It is a Gabriel&Co #SO73292 in 18k white gold. I chose this mount as a band sits flush against it. I have attached a couple of photos of it on but apologize for their quality. Oh, my ring is a size 6 but I should have had it made to fit a 5.5 as it is a little loose.

Did you use one of PS recommended vendors? Do you mind sharing which? Also, I assume this was custom made to fit your center stone? Again I really appreciate your help with this. I'm still waiting to hear back from the company to see if they have any retailers in MD bc I really want to try it on in person. I had tried on a Henri Daussi that looks similar and it just looked so tiny on my size 6.5 finger.

I went to a local store who was a registered dealer for GabrielNY. I was able go try on a lot of different mounts. I tried on the mount you linked in your post but found it a little low for my personal taste (however, it was beautiful). I like my rings mounted a little higher as I wear stacking bands a lot. They took the measurements of my stone and had the setting custom made to fit. I'm in Canada so probably not much help in the vendor area. I did see that Frankie is selling her VC halo. Your stone would look fabulous in that setting if the pricepoint works for you.

Now that I look at your setting I see that's its higher and I like that much better. I've been scouring the website for the style but can't seem to find it. Would you be so kind as to post a link for me?

I saw Frankie's ring - I absolutely love it. I'm just scared of buying something I can't try on first I love Victor's work and would love own a setting by him. Definitely something to think about though. Thank you again!
