I am new to posting but use this site for pretty much all of my research and am excited to have pricescopers give me some feedback!
I am finally resetting my engagement ring (after 5 years of subtle hints to my husband!). I currently have a 1.26 carat cushion (6.21 x 5.9 with a 1.3 mm halo and a split shank band- I hate the way the pave was done way too much metal, undercarriage of the ring doesn't look complete and the prongs are too big. It doesn't look finished in a lot of ways and the details I love are missing. My fingers are stumpy (8.5) so while its not super small, it looks small on my hand so I need lots more finger coverage.
I am going for a double halo and I found a setting I love with the inner halo being small and the outer halo larger, the picture shows the scale pretty well but the video is where you can see the way the inner halo almost feels like part of the diamond with a single outer halo. I am working with a jeweler to recreate this ring, so hoping I can get the look I want. I should see my cads in the next few days but wanted to share an image of the halos I am trying to replicate and get some feedback on what you think the mm sizes might be.
There is a lot of great feedback on proportion of halo to the center stone so I would love to hear some thoughts. The jeweler was thinking the inner halo should be about .7 and outer of 1.7 but wanted to have the pave setter look at it before confirming.
Image below: This setting is done with a 1.21 center cushion, and has 1.20 of diamonds in the setting.
I will follow up with the CADs as soon as I receive them!
