Hi all,
I am requesting some help with a round halo design that I had been working on with a jeweler in Los Angeles. I have been struggling for months, and now that I stumbled across this website, I feel I am in much better shape - I had been quite lost before. I am creating a custom halo design for my longtime girlfriend. I know that she likes halos (more rounded than square), round center stones, and pave settings. I have put a deposit on this stone: 2.38 carat, very good cut, very good polish, very good symmetry, VVS2, H color. Here is a link to the dimensions: https://snag.gy/oXMOxJ.jpg. And a link to a picture of the stone: https://snag.gy/7uld6h.jpg.
For the setting, my main concern is that it has the right type of pave - I would like very little metal. However, for everything else, I am not sure what I should be asking my jeweler to do. Should I be specifying the width of the setting and the size of the diamonds on the band? Are there enough/too many diamonds on the legs of the "tripod" that the diamond sits in? What type of prongs show the least amount of metal? Any help would be very much appreciated by me and my future fiance. Thanks.
