I doubt it. I actually much prefer how JA sets their stones, especially in halos. OP, I would definitely get a halo. The one I posted previously is still my top contender. I really like halo only, plain shank. It will give you a great presence on the finger. I get that it will be non-returnable and yoga can be scary, but $600 for a halo setting is pretty good! Worst case, you don’t love it and wear it for a couple of years, it would come out to something like 50 cents a day, that doesn’t seem terrible

I love the shape of this marquise and love the idea of the simple halo with a plain shank!!! It will be beautiful!!!
I would select the metal based on budget. Most would prefer platinum, but I am perfectly content with white gold as well. However, the difference seems to be around $200, so it is really not that bad. White gold needs to be rhodium plated ever so often. Platinum will need to be polished if you don’t like the look of patina. WG is lighter, PT is heavier.
I only get round centers on these links and that word round in is the link name. I chatted with the rep and they said it does not come stock in marquise. Its custom, and I think the OP is trying to stick with a stock setting. It makes sense that marquise would be custom given the wide variation in Lenght and width at a given weight.
@nmg my vote is still for the JA halo plain shank setting, maybe the WG version since you might want to change it down the road. Considering the small price difference between the halo vs a stock solitaire, I think the halo will be totally worth it!
Here are two pics off google with halo and plain shank, I think that it looks very elegant!
Here is the approximate size difference of halo vs non-halo:

Here are a few more pics. Please ignore the pave on the band, I was just trying to find some hand shots with a halo. I am totally obsessed!!
Here is a similarly sized marquise (11.25 x 5.14)
I’m just ecstatic
Can’t wait to see the final product!!!
Oh, since it’s custom anyways I think I’ll ask for claw prongs. Yeah? And I thought think white gold because money.
We are always just happy to help and love looking for a good deal!
Haha
I agree with the the WG selection and yes to claw prongs. I would personally ask for prongs at the tips as well just to be super extra protected. I would share this pic with them when asking about the prongs style and prong placement:
OP - I think your ring's name should be Simone
Love this photo of the claws!
