I'm only about 80% sure I'm going to go with a halo, but if I do a halo, I want to have the least amount of metal showing, both top and side. So I'm looking for recommendations of settings that might fit the bill. I've seen some halos where the stones were sort of angled down which seem like a good option. I'll probably end up going custom but I haven't yet found a good picture of a setting I'd want to go with.
I have a 6.5 finger and we're looking at stones that are in the 2.5-3.5 range, probably on the smaller side of that scale if we do go with a halo. It will be a pear. I really haven't seen a single pear solitaire mount that I like which is why I'm leaning halo.
For the band, I'm intending to go with something like a uternity band. For wedding bands I'd want smaller shared prong on either side, stacked like this: http://www.adiamor.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/eternity-stack.jpg
Considered but not quite right:
https://www.ritani.com/engagement-rings/masterwork-halo-diamond-band-engagement-ring-in-18kt-white-gold/6288 - Haven't liked the pictures I've seen of real examples.
http://www.tacori.com/37-2cu65 - Not sure if the flowery mount goes with the style I'm aiming for.
http://www.diamondsbylauren.com/index.php/jewelry/loose-yellow-diamond-331ct-w-x-vs2-pear-shape-gia-amazing-stone-r5218 - Ok this one is WAY out there, but I fell in love with it. I fear with the stones so large, it will just be too much and if you make the stones smaller, the basket might get a little too intense. This ring is the one I'm most attracted to though (just not with colored stones, and honestly the same setting with all clear stones on their website just doesn't look as amazing)
I don't wear much jewelry normally...but I love it. I'm sure the DBL setting on top of the stacked bands is ridiculously over the top but I still wish I could see it on my finger, heh. Trying on things has radically shifted my opinions around already.
So tell me...what are some halo settings with minimal metal that I should consider?
I'm in Dallas, so far I've only been to Bailey Banks & Biddle. Wish I were in NYC to check out Diamonds by Lauren!!
