Need help please !

Hi,
So I am wanting to have a ring made for myself, one that I can wear everyday - my engagement ring is a ruby with diamonds around it which I don't wear anymore and my other rings I don't really like anymore and one is set too high to wear everyday. I like the cushion halo style with both JAllen and Blue Nile have - I also don't want to spend much - I only want about .50ct but I don't know at that size what is the most important part of a diamond I should be looking at. Have read thru a few of the posts on here so I am now a bit confused ? For some reason I can't copy and paste the photo of the one on James Allen but it is the Cushion outline pave ring sky 17086W14 (they are 25% off at moment so would like to take advantage of that).
Thanks

Is no-one able to point me in the right direction ?

What is your budget for the diamond? Have you seen a .5 c cushion. And are happy with that in spead? Are you open to preowned?

 

[ringo865]

Could you reset your ruby into that JA setting? Or put a diamond into your ruby setting? A half carat cushion will be smaller than a half carat round. Maybe a round stone in the cushion halo?

Its a cushion halo with a round diamond...

You need to give us some specs like color/clarity/budget for the .5 stone. We'll see what we can find in your budget or let you know that your budget
isnt high enough.

Possible stone...There are more but really need your budget

Hi - I have a budget for a stone of around $1000-$1500 AUD for the stone - I was after colour between D-F, and VS1 (if I am correct in my research) and cut very good or Ideal, I am not set in a round diamond if there is some better for .50c. I read a few discussions but I then became more confused.
