THANK YOU! This is exactly what I needed to see to help me decide! Thank you so much for your time and efforts to help bring this to life for me! I was so excited to see the handshot.
Yes, my stone is 1.31 ct and measures 7.13 X 6.28. The halo will give it a bigger look but I can''t let the band overtake the center stone. I''m sure some tweaking will need to be done here and there.
I think the pave is delicate enough for it to not overtake the cushion. I like it!
I actually just saw a woman today with a similar setting and I could not take my eyes off of it.
thing2of2--How great that you saw something similar--I sure do wish I could. My local jewelry stores have most of the same 4 designs between them so it is difficult to actually get to see something like this in person.
I think a cushion would probably look fine in that setting. I do however suggest trying one on in person or trying things that are similar just to make sure you know you''ll like how the setting actually looks on your hand. big pics and actually rings can look worlds apart..
mrssalvo--I think your comment is the key...I really do need to try something like this on...just hard to find it around here.
oooooh... purty!
Hi
poptart--Thank you...I thought it was purty, too!
I like the *idea* of it ... but I can''t really picture it on anyone''s hand ... and when I try it seems like "too much".
ETA: REALLY think about what kind of wedding band you''d wear with this too ... or if you''d switch it to a stand alone RHR when you start wearing a band.
decodelighted--Bingo! That is exactly why I posted. I thought the idea sounded beautiful but then I was trying to imagine it on my hand and I was wondering if it would end up being just too much. I think staying delicate with both the halo and the band may be the answer, not sure. Wedding band?...actually, I had not planned to wear one because I originally wanted a split shank which (if with a deep split) gives the illusion of two rings to me. I will, however, add this to my "ponder" list and I will think it to infinity and beyond....
I LOVE it!!! Is it too late for me to change my mind??? LOL!!! I think that is awesome!!!!!
Cehra--You mean you change your mind all the time, too? I tell ya...I get on my own nerves, sometimes!...lol.
