hi everyone,
i''m new to this forum. i discovered PS while researching the setting for my ring.
i am resetting my 1.5 ct. into a channel and bead set shank with channel and bead set halo.
i will be using 3 pts for the shank diamonds (10 of them, 5 on each side)and it will be about 3mm...but i haven''t decided on whether to use 1/2 pt or 1 pt for the halo diamonds. i do know it will be 2mm. do you think 1/2 pt or 1 pt will look better? or maybe there isn''t much of a difference? the price difference isn''t much. i''m more concerned about the overall size of the surface. i have small fingers size 3.5 and i don''t want a super huge ring. i don''t know if using 1pt. will make the ring bigger than i want.
thank you all in advance!
 
Are you working w/someone local to you? Can they show you what 1/2 pt and 1 pt look like? I wish I could answer, hope someone chimes in soon and Welcome to Pricescope. By the way, I wish I had a size 3 1/2 finger.

thanks for trying to help skippy!
 
I found this little chart that Belle posted. Does this help? I searched using the terms mm and melee. I am thinking about setting a colored stone(morganite) in a halo, so I've been doing some research as well.

1.0mm is .005ct
1.3mm is .01 ct (1pointer)
1.5mm is .015ct
1.7mm is .02 ct
2.0mm is .03 ct
2.4mm is .05 ct (5pointer)
