Hi All,

I have just bought this diamond from JBEG..

I am deciding between these two settings (metal will be platinum).

I have never considered a halo style setting (nor this cut of stone or colour :love: ) until I found Pricescope. My current set is a half bezel and I have found this type of setting comfortable and safe. I would love as much finger coverage as possible, would I see more coverage with a halo than the bezel? Is a halo style ring ok for everday wear. This is an upgrade for our 10 year anniversary. Any advice would be much appreciated. I am from Australia so really want to stick with JBEG for the setting.

Thanks in advance,
Bibs
 
What a beautiful stone Bibs! Congrats.

A halo would give you more finger coverage. It will make your stone look even larger.
But I guess a halo is more vulnerable. So, it might depend on your lifestyle. If you want to do sports and household chores while wearing your ring, I would choose the bezel instead of the halo.

I am sure the experts will chime in soon. I do not have a halo ring myself. It will be good to get some opinions of PSers who have a halo ring.

Have you also considered the Bela halo from JbEG?
