I purchased an oval diamond from James Allen last week. The stats are 0.78 I VS2 7.48 x 5.18 x 3.04. I love the stone, however...

I seem to be running into some trouble finding the perfect setting. I have a feeling I''ll have to go the custom route as I can''t seem to find exactly what I want. I''ve found plenty of lovely halo settings just not one for an oval stone or in rose gold.

This is what I''m looking for:

-halo
-rose gold (or two-tone rose gold/white gold)
-flush fit
-delicate

I also like milgrain (but it''s not a deal-breaker without it). It can be bezel or prong set. My ring size is 4.5 so I wouldn''t want something to overwhelm my short,stubby finger

. If I were going to go the white gold route, then I''d go for the Ritani Endless Love. It''s a stunner. I also like the Daussi settings. I attatched a pretty Neil Lane ring as inspiration for the hunt. I don''t think I''d do three-sided pave though due to my desire to stack. This gorgeous ring also doesn''t look flush fit. Still nice to admire though!

I contacted Knox Jewelers because their rings seem right on target with what I''m looking for but they only work with their own stones.

Does anyone know of any good vendors that sell rose gold halos that would fit with what I''m looking for? The only one I''ve found thus far that has a large selection of rose gold for ovals is The Natural Sapphire Company. They just seem to be missing "something" special. I can''t place my finger on it. They''re nice though, just not exactly what I''m looking for.

Any recommendations? Also if I do go custom, who should I contact? I''m already married so this is just a fun "project" for me so there is no time-line crunch.

Sorry for the length. I''ve been searching for an extensive amount of time and seem to be coming up blank. I was curious if the pros could help.

Thanks!

I have always loved this halo ring on the James allen website. I inquired once if it could be made for an oval with milgrain and I got an email back saying it would only be an extra $110 (that was about 8 months ago). I know they have done different colored golds before too so maybe they could get it in rose gold? They are pretty quick to respond by email so you might look into that~!

BYW I love the idea of rose gold with an oval halo...so romantic!
 
Miller, I just recently re-set my .80 oval solitare in a halo. We found the settingI loved at diamondsbylauren.com but the jewelry we purchased my stone from was able to replicate the look for much less. There is a setting in the halo #1 section that sounds like what you are describing. It has an emerald set in it but it will give you the idea. It''s two tone. the halo is rose gold with the shank being white gold. VERY pretty!
 
I''ll look into these, thanks!
 
I like Simon G. He has a beautiful two tone halo. Check it out--might not be as delicate as you are looking for--and might need to be a custom project. How fun for you!
 
I believe Tacori will make their settings in rose gold as I've seen them before on various sites. I like the 2620 for Ovals - has a very delicate halo and band. http://www.tacori.com/Engagement-Rings

Here is the 2620, among other gorgeous ovals, both w/ plain shank (scary's) and w/ pave shank (agirlcalledchuck's) - https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/oval-diamond.121213/

Tacori makes different sizes in their settings for different sized stones so you could maintain delicate proportions.

Here's the 2620 for the round in rose gold: http://store.jrdunn.com/PhotoGallery.asp?Productcode=TC002620RDLGProseJRD
