New Setting?

[penskip]

I was thinking about having my ring reset with half moon side stones. Do you think my stone is too square for that?

penskip I think your ring is beautiful as is but would also look good with half-moon side stones. Is yours an antique?

penskip. . . GIRL! ! ! I'm all about the solitaire. But if you feel like you would rather have the half moons, then go for it. It's your engagement ring and YOU are the one that has to be happy with it. . . Oh yea, there is also your Hubby . . .

It's totally gorgeous though. I'm with slg47, is your stone an antique? It's facets are so chunky!

It is an antique. I love the facets too! It's so colorful and sparklie, it even throws off flashes in a poorly lit room. I think I was thinking of the half moon side stones being a little shorter in height than the center stone (unlike the example linked above). I think I am trying to think of way to maybe make it look a little bigger without doing a halo.

Well I am biased since I love halfmoons... but I really do think they would look fabulous with your diamond. I think you are on the right track with going for ones that are "shorter" than your center stone to really accent it.

penskip your ring is so pretty do you have more pictures/stats? I'd love to hear more about it

It is a 2ct H/I SI 1 with strong blue florescence (which I love!)
Ring size 6.5

I think half moon side stones would look "just right". Their shape will mirror the outside shape of your cushion.

I think half moons would look lovely with your stone. Would also give even more finger coverage!

 

[lookingforcushions]

I've seen cushions around your shape with halfmoons, and they look beautiful! I think it depends on what look you love more -- solitaire or with side stones.

Here's a great video with a similar setting to what you might be considering. http://rockdiamond.com/index.php/jewelry/ring-special-gia-100ct-gi1-cushion-cut-diamond-ring-w-half-moons

Gorgeous stone and I think half moons would be stunning!

 

[Amys Bling]

I think half moon sides will look lovely. I agree with others, I think smaller accent sides will be perfect, as to not take away from your beautiful center stone.
