Opinions on this possible RHR?

[tammy77]

I'm looking at a 6mm pink or rubellite tourmaline and this http://cgi.ebay.com/6-MM-ROUND-SOLI...08976123?pt=US_Fine_Rings&hash=item415b8f0dfb setting.

Since I've never done this before, I'm worried that the end result won't look right, so I was hoping for some insight from the veterans! Is the center stone too small? It will be on a size 7 to 7.25 finger.

I really appreciate any input at all, thanks!!!

I think that will look fine together. I actually had a very similar setting by the same vendor with a red garnet in it that I recently sold. I think my garnet was a 6mm on a size 6.5. You can look at my past threads for pictures. I'm fairly sure I posted some.

As far as size goes that is your own personal preference. I'm spoiled in the world of CS so I typically don't buy anything for a ring that is below 7.5mm But I like big statement jewelry. I think a 6mm on a 7.5 finger is also lovely and would be very nice as a RHR.

Thanks for the info, Sarah! The other thought is to go w/a 3 stone trellis design...but then I would need to find side stones.

I find 3 stones rings to be classic, understated and elegant, and micropave halos to be more modern and blingy. What type of look are you going for?

I feel the same way, especially since I found a 3 stone by DanielM that I'm in love with!

There are also some great vintage halos that will give you a feeling for how to make a halo look less modern if you are looking for something more class.
