Looking for someone to set my stone!

[candy323]

Hello all my PS friends.

My father left me a diamond ring with a round diamond being approximately 1.2 carats. I would love a cushion halo setting for a round stone with pink sapphires on the halo and white diamonds on the shank. I don't know where to start. Please help!!!

Bump for the experts to chime in.

Here is my 2c: Victor Canera is often praised for his hand forged halo work. Have you looked at his site?

If you are thinking having something custom done, Engagement Rings Direct is getting a lot of attention on PS these days.

What a special project. There are numerous options for your diamond. Do you want a custom handforged ring, custom CAD/CAST or an existing setting?

If you share your budget, we will be able to help you further.
I agree with the above poster that Victor makes beautiful halo rings. But it depends on your requirements. His rings are 100% handforged and the price will be ranging from 4.000 - 4.500 $ for your stone. To be sure, you can ask quotes from different vendors.

To add: did you do a search for halo rings here on PS?

Just for inspiration:

IThank you for the info.

I think Victor is out of my budget. I was hoping to spend about $3000 so I will contact ERD tomorrow.

I love the pink halo picture. That"s exactly what I want.

ERD can probably work within your budget and they make fabulous rings. Adding diamonds or sapphires in the gallery/donut also adds up to the cost, so it's good to keep that in mind. Just tell them your budget and see what they can do for you.

I just thought you might like to see this ring that someone recently posted with pink sapphires. I think ERD is a good choice and I might also get a quote from Maytal Hannah.

I just sent Maytal a email for a price quote. I will also contact ERD tomorrow.
I am super excited to get this started!

Ask Wink at HighPerformanceDiamonds.com, too. His bench made this halo of purple sapphires. I don't know the pricing, though.

David Klass in Los Angeles is another possibility, too.
