Ritani: Halo or Donut???

[mintve]

I am in the beginning stages of searching for an e-ring setting. Its all very exciting and loads of fun! Each time I come across the Ritani Endless Love (halo setting), I light up. I just love it! Tonight at another jeweler, I came across a similar, but different setting by Ritani. Rather than a sigle halo, it has multiple rows that they call a donut. The diamond also sits a bit lower, so the pointy part of the diamond is not exposed under the center stone. What are your opinions/preferences?

Here is the Classic Ritani Endless Love Halo Ring

If you light up every time you see a halo, go with it.

And the Ritani Donut Style...

I like the way the Ritani Halo looks better.

 

[marvel]

I prefer the halo and I think a lot of people light up with that ring!! It''s gorgeous!!

 

[Kaleigh]

My vote goes to the Ritani Halo, plus you said you light up every time you see it. The donut is nice, but takes away from the center stone IMHO.

 

[Tacori E-ring]

I agree. I like the halo better.

 

[rainydaze]

i like the halo better - haven''t seen the donut in person (but i have seen the halo) and from the pic it looks like it could take away from the center.

cuteyTT has the halo and her pics are gorgeous, i thought you might enjoy the eye candy (if you haven''t seen them already)!

Halo. For some reason I think the donut would look better with a colored gemstone center.

I agree. I think it is a quirky design, almost `organic`. I personally dont like it much for an er.

 

[SuLi]

I vote for the halo as well.

 

[jamiesorr]

I have seen both in person and I vote for the halo as well. The other one really does take away from the center stone. What size center were you thinking of?

 

[mintve]

Thanks for your input. I think I am in love with the halo and this setting and nothing has topped it yet. I showed the photo to my FF and he said "that''s diifferent". He was thinking more of a plain solitaire...ie a tiffany setting. I tried on a few solitaires, including a Tiffany setting and it was not as pretty on my hand. There is something about the halo that catches my eye.

I am thinking 1 carat give or take. By adding the halo, you really enahance the size of the center stone.

 

[FireGoddess]

Definitely halo - the donut competes with the center stone whereas the halo seems to enhance it.

 

[Gypsy]

It can take a while for the men to get used to the halo idea. I worked on mine for a number of years till HE started picking them out when we''d go into stores. But initially he didn''t care for them as much as I did. For the record, I love the donut for a RHR with a colored stone... but the halo is one I''d pick for an e-ring.

 

[MoonWater]

Definitely the halo. I LOVE that ring. Every time I see it I drool. I actually got to try it and I just love the look.

 

[Shay37]

I vote halo also. I know. I know. Shay loving a halo. Big surprise!

Halo definition: the aura of glory, veneration, or sentiment surrounding an idealized person or thing. (Awh.)

And Donut...well it is a small usually ring-shaped cake fried in fat, which means weight gain, high calories, and wearing one may make you walk like an Egyptian...and sing;

All the cops in the donut shops say:
Way-oh-way-oh-way-ooo-aaa-ooo

So, if you put it that way...HALO!!

Halo!

Halo!
