Recommendations for cast halo vendor

[leftie91]

Hello!

I am contemplating this setting: https://www.ritani.com/engagement-rings/french-set-halo-diamond-band-engagement-ring-in-platinum/4975

From my PS research, Ritani seems to have good reviews for quality and durability for cast pave rings. Hand forged is not in the cards, so I am looking for a vendor that is a balance of budget-friendly and quality for a cast, platinum, delicate round halo.

Are there any obvious options that I am missing, and does anyone have experience with this setting?

TIA!

I heard good things of RItani (though have not had a Ritani). I've had a Simon G halo, and I thought it was very nicely done. I had it for 5 years with no problems at all before upgrading my stone to a larger one so the setting got sold.

Tacori is also very popular as well as Beverly K.

I'm currently working with a jeweler on a Coast setting that is being modified for my OEC, but haven't had any previous experience with Coast before this so can't comment on any long term quality.
