Opinions on Ritani cathedral halo renderings appreciated!

[diamond5673]

While I appreciated the elegance of Ritani's French-set halo band, my girlfriend tried on mainly cathedral settings and fell in love with them. What does everyone think about these renderings from Ritani to put in cathedral shoulders on their current design? I am a bit concerned about how much more metal I might see when compared to the original French-set design of this ring.

There are a couple of things with this halo that I'm not a fan of - first is that the halo isn't tilted/angled and second is that I don't think that the melee goes down far enough on the shank (it goes half way and I prefer at least 3/4 of the way around).

I thank you for your reply! I emailed Ritani and asked if they could slant the halo downward at a 25 degree angle. I also asked if they would be able to keep the French-set for the side stones. I personally do like that the side stones only go halfway down. It helps me save on my budget a little bit, too
