So I am trying a halo. I love my previous setting and I kept it but bc it was so frustrating to find a band, I started looking at other options. So there you have it. I can't say that I'm 100 percent happy with it but for a stock halo, this might be as close as I can come to a nice halo.

Well, I for one absolutely love it! I love the cushion shape and I think the melee are the right size for your center diamond. I also really like the split shank. And I think it looks amazing with your bands. I know you're going to get varying answers, seems like a decent amount of people prefer solitaires on PS, but what can I say - I love finger coverage and this is a look that just really pleasing to my eye! :halo:

But…I dunno…you don't sound thrilled! The important thing is that you really love it. What about the halo bothers you?

And how about some more pics? Would love to see it at more of a distance.

eta: just saw your other pic. Looks great to me!
 
It's very pretty! Great finger coverage.

Do you get points with your jewelry if you come in often to reset? :bigsmile: Just kidding. I'd love to find a jewelry store that let's customers change their minds that often :appl: If they can come up with settings that you can swap out center stones on your own, that'd be even better :Up_to_something:
 
I think the halo looks good but you don't sound thrilled. Love the 2 stacking bands with the halo too.
 
Beautiful halo. It has a delicate yet sturdy feel about it. The split shank is really pretty and the bands combine really well.
But I agree with the others that you do not sound thrilled. At all...
I thought you were really satisfied with the beautiful solitaire? But perhaps you got frustrated because you could not find bands to combine with it?

This is a lovely set, but you should be absolutely happy when you look at it. :wavey:
 
I think it is gorgeous personally. Is the profile that bugs you? I know with some stock halos the stones stick far out.
 
Looks blingtastic! Enjoy it
 
I want to thank a of you for your lovely comments. I did love and still love my other solitaire but finding the right band made me realize that overall, it wasn't producing the entire whole package effect. So I ventured into a halo setting out of curiosity bc although I had owned halos in the past, my 2.24 hadn't been set in one and curiosity got the best of me. Also, I am eventually going to commit to a custom setting, I need to be sure that I'm ruling out the halo. My jeweler will apply the credit of this ring to the custom setting. As to what is giving me doubts: the halo seems too rectangular and the melee color to contrasting. I think I am going to opt for single cuts in my custom should I opt for a halo. For now, I'm just enjoying the bling. Boy does it get noticed. It seems the general population really has an Affinity for halos! I've gotten lots of compliments from sales people.

I agree with Junebug completely! It looks at home on your hand and works so well with your bands. I love it. Later on you may get a more perfectly made mount, but this is a good choice for right now.
 
It sure looks gorgeous!
 
There is nothing wrong with stock! Looks fantastic on you.
 
Until you find the setting that really knocks your socks off, this one is a beauty! It looks right at home with the stacked bands too. :love:
 
Again, many thanks! I need to stop scrutinizing it and start enjoying it!
 
Again, many thanks! I need to stop scrutinizing it and start enjoying it!

As to the bands, the irony is that I finally found a band that matches my solitaire perfectly--the bezel, single cut band--AFTER I had already reset it! But at least now I have it, in case I need to reset it!
 
Braga, seriously my favorite setting so far. I really like it. I don't really see the contrasting colors from the pictures. Can you take more from a distance so we can see how the ring works on you whole hand??

I like the bands with it too. It all looks very pleasing to the eye. It would be my choice. What can I say? I still love cushion halos.
 
Oh love it!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't tell you how much I love a split shank halo! To me they are so elegant! More pictures! pretty please! :love:
 
I really like this setting with your bands!
 
Braga, this setting works SO well on you! I love it! :appl:
 
I love it especially with those stacked bands! Gorgeous!

It's a lovely set and it looks really beautiful on your hand. In the end you might like it so much that you do not even want a custom made ring anymore. I love the combination of the delicate split shank, the matching single pave band and the bezelled rounds. :love:

Please post more pics :wavey:
