Halo or three stone? Hmmm

Should I put my 0.89ct E SI1 in a halo or a 3-stone?

Inspiration setting has a 3ct

On my hand you see the 0.89ct round next to two ~0.30ct pears

I voted for a 3-stone as I am not keen on the proposed halo setting.

Here's a couple of mine around the size of your center stone. NB Rounds with large pears give a band-like effect which I, personally, really like. Gives a beautiful curve around your finger.

.83 center, with .46 and .47 rounds on a size 7 finger:

.97ct with .4 and .42 pear sides:

Ooo thank you for the pics!!!!
Well it seems pretty darn unanimous!

I was thinking halo for sure until a PSer sent me those pear cz... and then I saw the Tiffany three stone and it just grabbed me. I also think it’s a more classic look with more staying power. Ok, next step: find some pears and a setting!

Oh hey!!! Thanks! Good reference pic! Where did you get your setting? What is your finger size? Thanks for taking the time to post those pics!

Also, this is sort of a weird pic, but it gives a better perspective of the size. Diamonds always look so gigantic in close-up photos.

It’s totally a personal preference. I happen to love 3 stones myself. Good luck!

I’m a halo girl. Having said that, is that the only halo you are considering?

Well I have both myself and both are different flavors but if these are your only two choices then I would vote three stone unless a different halo is an option?

I think I like the Tiffany three stone because it has a massive centre haha. I feel like I want a halo but I haven’t found the perfect setting. I’m wanting to go through stuller due to my local offerings and because I don’t do so well with custom. Do you halo gals feel like finding me a stuller halo that is up to snuff? :saint: <— halo, haha

I’ll be happy to post one when I get it back from being appraised. I’m missing it right now! The ring was made by a local jeweler. I’m a size 5.

Thank you so much!!! It’s gorgeous on you. Let’s hang out, so I can try it on ;-)
I’m a size 5, too.
