Has anyone ever seen a halo with individual bezel set diamonds? I am in the discussion phase with a custom jeweler who suggested this when I told him I wanted a 1 carat oval with a halo. I''ve seen pave and prong set halos but never bezel set. He wanted to find the center stone before we made more definite design decisions. He lives in another town, and I forgot to ask to see pictures of rings he had made that way, so until the center stone comes in and I visit his shop again, I''m left wondering. He said the stones would be more secure and less likely to snag, which is great, but how''s it gonna look? I haven''t been able to find any pictures on the internet. Any thoughts or comments are much appreciated.
 
do you mean just the center stone is bezel set or all of the melee around the center?

it''s not unusual for the center to be bezeled.
 
I''ve seen it but they tend to look like flowers IMO with individual petals....
 
The melee around the center stone is what would be individually bezel set. Probably 2 pointers. The center stone would be prong set.

i see. yes, i''ve seen melee set that way. it''s a different look than a regular prong or bead set halo.
do you want the traditional look?
 
here''s a ring with bezeled melee

Thanks Belle and Cehrabehra. I don''t like that look and will now be able to tell the jeweler to go with prong set.
 
I am having a pendant made with an OEC from a ring I inherited using a setting like that I think
here is a pic of the ring (center stone is being put into the pendant) and the empty rouch unpolished pendant setting. The center stone is going bezel set, there is milgraining around the center stone and I believe the melee is bezel set as well.
I chose this setting out of a catalog- you might be able to find something you like in the Adwar catalog which is online.
