Like others, I searched for the perfect setting for months and months. I finally had an idea of what I wanted after spending hours on PS, thank you all for sharing. The setting was handmade, it has a couple of minor imperfections which I can live with as it is truly a beautiful piece. It is just not exactly what I had in mind. I acknowledge that the ultimate decision is mine; however, I would like to solicit honest opinions.
The inspiration setting I believe is by LM. It is his signature dainty halo (two rows)but w/ a split shank rather than single. The final piece, again is beautiful; however, the two rows are in a "slope" making the halo appear wider and overwhelming the stone IMO rather than accentuate it. The second row on the LM piece is more "rounded" and almost tucked under. (My apologies for the improper terms).
Again, I believe it is a beautiful piece and I REALLY like it but I don't LOVE it. The jeweler has offered to redo the halo; however, I am a bit apprehensive as I am afraid the end product would once again not be THE ONE. The jeweler is a trusted one for decades but in hindsight, I wish we would have contacted LM instead
I thank you all in advance...
