Hi,
I am about to buy a lozenge diamond and i need ideas for the setting.
2.23ct and 11.5x9.6mm
My first instinct is double halo onyx and OECs melee or Frenchies.
Do any of you have insiration pics in your folders?
Thanks

Are you getting the one from LAD? It’s gorgeous!

I could see it in a halo, but also E/W in a plain milgrained bezel. Elegant simplicity.

Have no inspiration pics to share,
But it sounds like it’s going to be stunning!
Are you thinking a smooth one piece “donut” like your avatar (gorgeous!) or a pieced onyx?

Down the road I thought of getting that cut, but since I have 1 too many step cut may not happen. I could see Emerald or Ruby halo instead of diamonds. Love Love Love scalloped halos!

That was my first instinct too, just from reading the subject line.

I have often found, when customers spend a lot of time deliberating, that they often come back to their first instinct(s) - best wishes!
So true!

Go with your gut/heart and trust it - it's usually correct :))

I wanted a one solid onyx halo and after consulting with pros , you need to baby your ring as it is fairly fragile ; it can break or hip pretty easily. I wear my rings all the times and I am not particularly careful (nor do I want to be:D).
So it will be onyx calibre/French cut , if possible one piece only per side.

Oooh I was SO HOPING that a PSer would buy this stone. I am dying over this stone, it's perfection. If I had the funds I would have purchased it so quickly.
Thank you. For once, i was able to buy this fast and without thinking too much.I never have the funds when I find a piece , this time I went on a limb thinking pffffff not gonna happen and hubs said yes in two texts (literally hey, do we need this asking for a friend? him :???: and btw the car still makes noise or not? Me no the car is OK sends another pic, him for a ring? Me or a pendant. Him if you want, when is it enough jewelry? Me IDK emoji ; and done)

Are you looking to have the halo follow the shape of the stone, or create a new shape?

When you say one piece of onyx on each side, are you meaning you’ve decided against onyx/diamond double halo, and are going for accent onyx stone instead? Or the whole onyx halo part will be in two pieces?
