Ideas/help with reset

[elizat]

I am a very longtime reader that has never posted, but would like some help if anyone has ideas or a reset. Erica of LAD would be doing the setting.

I would like to re-set a 1.4 antique cushion from OWD and have it be a three stone, but not a more traditional three stone. My stone is a K, but faces up quite white and measures 7.08 x 6.74. I have a pair of earrings from that I was going to use for the side stones- light yellow diamonds that are slightly rounded on the corners that are about 4.25 mm square each. I take awful pictures, but this is my ring from OWD's Instagram page:

I was originally wanting to make it a three stone with a diamond halo, going off the idea of the LAD Stephanie setting:

I wanted to add some floral details though, in the corners of main stone. So basically at the corners, where the halo is, have a break of the halo and a floral detail on each corner of the main stone.

Erica has suggested using this setting as the base and I've emailed to ask questions, but I don't know with the width if I'd see any of the details except on the band. I like the details on it, but am not sure if they'd be visible. My finger is a size 7.

Any input or help? Thanks in advance!

People like @rockysalamander are great at things like this. I personally am terrible - but I wish you luck!
Not sure how you would integrate that halo with floral details and the two yellow stones? Could you try photographing your ring with those two yellow stones? I'm sure it would help.

Best,
Lydia

Thanks! I will take photos of them. I'm having trouble seeing it as well...I even looked at some stock Stuller settings to see if I'd like the three together for sure, but by the time I pick one that I like and add the accent stones for a halo, it's over $1k, which is a little much in my mind for a temporary setting.

I think part of my issue is that I just think that the 1.4 is on the smaller side now and I'm trying to make it appear larger as well.

I think I am going to use different side stones now. I have two bangles and one is .91 and the other .83, both from Jewels by Grace, that she estimated as a k color. I think these work together...I sent photos to Erica for her to weigh in but I like them together. I think the slight color difference is lighting and bad photos. I don't really see it in person at all.
