Halos & Diamond Melee Size - A Reference Thread

[JV36912]

I'm in the process of, possibly, purchasing a new halo ring. The setting will have to be ordered so I can't see it in person and I'm having a hard time visualizing what the halo and band will look like in relation to the center stone. I've searched for images online but it's been so hard to find so I thought it might be helpful for someone in a similar position (either purchasing or designing a halo ring) to have a thread which shares the measurements of the melee of the halo ring in relation to the center stone.



Please share any or all of the following for your rings:

1. Measurement of melee in halo

2. Measurement of melee in band

3. Measurement of center stone

4. Picture- close up

5. Picture- farther away for perspective

6. Any other measurements you feel may be helpful such as setting height (bonus points if you have the CAD!)



I'll start in the next post. Hope this helps someone!

 

[JV36912]

1. Melee in Halo- 2.5mm

2. Melee in band- N/A

3. Center stone- 11mm x 8mm

4.

5.

6. Don't know the setting height but it's very low set!

 

[JV36912]

1. Melee in Halo- 1.3mm

2. Melee in band- 1.4mm

3. Center stone- 7.7mm x 7.8mm

4.

5.



6. Setting Height- 7mm

 

[JV36912]

1. Melee in Halo- 1.5mm

2. Melee in band- 1.4mm

3. Center stone- 9.12mm x 7.67mm

4.

6. Setting height- 6.5mm

Thread 'Show me your Round Stone as a Solitaire and with a Halo/Bezel'

May 28, 2021

@Vanilla Bling 's gorgeous reset to a solitaire got me thinking-halos/ bezels are so visually transformative. While there are many individual SMTB threads of diamonds set as solitaires and then reset with halos/bezels, I couldn't find a centralized reference thread. I thought it might be useful to have one thread with comparison pics for members considering halo/bezel settings. Stone diameter, melee stats (where applicable) and ring size may be useful. I hope you will add your beauties-tagging @diamondseeker2006 @missy @LLJsmom @bright ice...
