My husband proposed with a beautiful 6-prong Tiffany style solitaire on Christmas eve 2010. I absolutely loved my ring and was so thrilled to be spending the rest of my life w/ my best friend. A 6-prong solitaire is what I told him I wanted but a halo is what I always had on my mind. I thought the solitaire was the way to go b/c they're classic beauties and they're timeless. I thought I might get sick of the halo look and change my mind about it.

Over the course of the last (almost) 2 years, I wore my solitaire happily but noticed some prong damage over the last few months. I knew I had to get them fixed soon, and plus I had to get the ring resize b/c it started falling off. I was telling my husband that I had to make these changes and kind of joked about resetting my stone into a new setting. His response was, "Sure! Whatever makes you happy!" I was so surprised. Over the last month or two, I decided on resetting into a halo. Ideally, I wanted a Victor Canera Emilya, but that was definitely way out of my budget, so I gave my buddy, Yekutiel from ID Jewelry a call.

So, last week, when my brother and I went to buy an engagement ring for his to-be fiance, I asked Yekutiel about halo settings. He pulled out a few that he recommended based on my PS-standards, and I fell in love with this one setting. It just so happened to be perfectly sized for my diamond. He plopped my diamond in, resized it and it was ready for me to pick up the next day.

I'M THRILLEDDDD with my new setting. Yekutiel is THE MAN and always delivers in customer service and quality of products. He was actually nice enough to place a CZ in my old setting, clean it up and buff the platinum for no additional cost. Again, he's the man!!

Without further ado, here's my diamond's new home!!!! :love: :love: :love:

Diamond:
1.25 H SI1, Triple Ex
Setting:
.56 tcw F-G SI1
Ring Size: 4.75

here are a few.

my apartment is a bit dark right now and none of our lights are WHITE enough to get nice pics. i had a little fun with a flashlight but then decided that i should save the battery for Frankenstorm Sandy. Haha. (don't mind the slight blue tint...that's the reflection of my camera.)

I LOVE the claw prongs Yekutiel made for this ring. :love:

YUMMY! :love: Thanks!

Yes, save your batteries!! >_< I'm so scared for everyone who's in Sandy's way!
 
this is a beautiful halo, the proportions are perfect!
 
Gorgeous reset!!! The halo really is perfectly proportioned and gives such amazing finger coverage!!! Stay safe!!! If worse comes to worse maybe your ring can work as a flashlight :bigsmile:
 
That setting is perfect with your stone :appl: :love: :appl: :love: :appl: And I love the claw prongs! What a gorgeous transformation!
 
GoRgEoUs!!!! Absolutely love that last picture! It helps to have an awesome stone! :appl: :appl: :appl:

I'm super impressed with those gorgeous claw prongs!! Did you mention that was a stock setting?? Gorgeous (I already said that...just wanted to tell you again :bigsmile: )

SNORT!!! HAHAH :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

But, positive note, why is it that whenever the weather is poopy, our diamonds look SO MUCH BETTER?!
 
I really like the way the new halo looks with your diamond band, very balanced (but in a blingy way!). Enjoy your new treasure. :))
 
Can I just echo what everyone else has said? It looks beautiful and those claws are gorgeous!
 
This ring is perfect... What setting is this from ID Jewelry?
 
You can email the people at ID Jewelry with the photos of this ring and they can give you a price quote. I did a few months back and they were really quick to respond. :)
