My fiance proposed just a few weeks ago and I can''t stop staring at my ring since I got it! After looking on the forums here, I decided I really liked the halo rings. I looked on lots of websites and went in several stores, but I felt like it might be out of the question because many of them are rather costly. I was so surprised when I walked in my local Jared''s and saw three different halo settings at a great price - only $900 for the engagement ring setting and wedding band! (The white gold settings were for round, emerald, and princess cut diamonds.) I told my then-boyfriend about the settings, and he chose the one for a princess cut center stone! I absolutely love my ring, and I wanted to share pictures because I haven''t seen a setting exactly like it on here before.

Here''s the specs (at least what I remember, since my fiance has the GIA report):

Center stone: 1.09 cts
Premium cut
5.79 x 5.75 x 3.98 mm
E color
SI1 clarity
Flouresence: none
Total weight: 1.34 cts
 
Oh, and my finger is a size 4.5

The center stone is prong set and raised above the halo. What do you think of this compared to rings with the halo closer to the top of the stone?

I love the halo rings too, hey, the more sparkle the better right and I think that halo just makes it pop. So pretty. Congratulations on your engagement

That style for the halo is very unique--I don''t think I''ve seen a halo set so much lower than the center stone before! It makes for a very cool looking profile.

I love the workmanship on the bead-set halo and band... who is the designer?
 
It looks HUGE on you! I can''t believe it. Halos really DO make a difference huh?
 
Very pretty and unique. COngratulations on your engagement!
 
Wow, I can''t believe that princess is 1.09! Looks like a 2 carat on your finger! Congrats!!!

The setting is from Jared''s, I''m not exactly sure of the designer. It wasn''t one of their "designer brands," which I think is one reason it was more affordable than the other halo rings I saw.
 
Congratulations on your recent engagement. Your ring is lovely. The diamond looks much larger than 1.09 carats.
 
i had to get on here to see my ring because it''s been at the jewelers for the past two days to be resized... i miss it!

WOW! So big and beautiful and unique!! I can say I've never seen a setting like yours before...very nice!

Congrats on the engagement!
 
How different! I have never seen a halo quite like that before - it''s vintage looking. Looks gargantuan on your finger!
 
That looks HUGE on your hand! What a pretty halo - it really suits your hand. While I think it looks really unique and almost like a piece of architecture, I agree with SDL - I''d be so afraid of hitting that sparkly rock on something.

I hope you get your ring back soon, and do come back with pics of the matching wedding ring so we can see

So it''s not a flower pic...

My ring with a sea shell that my fiance found and gave me shortly after we met over two years ago. If you shake the shell, sand will still come out :)
