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.

DK :))
 
3 stone!! Love the proportions. And your hands are so pretty!
 
Three stone
 
Another vote for 3 stone.
 
Those portions would be perfect for a three stone! :kiss2:
 
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:

Three stone! I adore three stones with pears :kiss2:
 
I love the pears with your center.

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!
 
I love how the 3 stone looks on your hand. Gorgeous.

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?
 
3 stone!

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.
