General Tacori Setting Question

[breakaway_speed]

I would appreciate any help on this. I am potentially looking into buying or buying something similar to this Tacori ring: http://www.tacori.com/49rdp55.html

I was wondering if anyone can recommend any similar style settings? Here is what I like. I like the low profile and the dainty (small) halo. I don't like the price that much. I know a custom one could be made for cheaper. Not sure if I will go that route. I would just like to see similar settings. One thing I don't like about this setting is how you cannot really see the side view of the main diamond (like you would be able to do with a four prong for example). I guess this may not be possible with the halo as something will have to hold it in place? I really don't know, hence I am asking here!

That is a very popular style, so I don't think you'll have a problem finding something very similar. I would contact ERD and get a quote for a replica of this.

EDIT: I would not pay the price for that particular Tacori.

Has anyone had similar style Tacori's custom made? I would likely go with gold verse platinum.That would bring the setting cost to around $2300. Still seems like a lot. But the option of being able to potentially return/exchange if she did not like it is very appealing. There is around 0.20 carat worth of diamonds in the setting. I have been quoted around $1500 so far (for a custom one). Does the risk of saving outweigh the risk of not being able to return?

any halo is going to cover up much of the side view.
