One way I'm thinking of setting my new stone is in a halo which I love. I'm reluctant because they are delicate yet my hands are not.
I need a delicate balance of Ering/halo/wedding band proportions for a size 7.75 finger size.
I've read numerous post on PS and seen various size halo and realize that the larger melee blend the stones together and smaller melee compliment the stone without overpowering. I love both looks. I like chunky halos too. They have that lovely vintage look like Christine's ring in Phantom of the Opera.
I think I can pull off a halo if I am careful not to make it too delicate. I prefer to see the stones rather than being so tiny they blend together and lack sparkle.
Any suggestions as to the cut of mele? single, full, ideal cut? My stone is "I" color.
Maybe I'm falling into a trend but I like stacking rings and having the middle ring in a rose or yellow gold.My center stone is 9.72mm diameter.
ERING:
Halo: 1.8 pt = 1.5mm
Shank: .05pt = 2.4mm
Eternity:
10 - 12pt or 3mm
Third Band:
5pt = 2.4mm
I welcome any suggestions to structure or proportions. I would like to try VC but I've read he prefers to make those decisions. I'd like to at least have an idea before I start talking to designers.
