Setting for garnet!

[bling_dream19]

Hi friends! I just got this beautiful garnet from Finewater Gems! It is 7.5 mm round rubelite garnet, hearts and arrows cut. It sparkles beautifully in the sun! It's a little dark in the shade.

My husband said it looks like Dorothy's slippers the first time he saw the garnet!
So do you think it will perform better in a halo setting or a 6 prong solitaire. I have both currently, bought both preloved.
The halo is a stunning DK ring that holds a light pink tourmaline. The tourmaline is beautiful but a bit light for my liking. I actually bought the garnet to go into this setting.
Or put the garnet into this BG classic 6 prong setting, which is empty currently.
The 6 prong might need a new head to accommodate the larger gem and it has to be sized up for my finger.
Which setting do you think is best for this garnet? And do you think this garnet is a winner? Thanks everyone!

The halo setting is really nice. I like halos best for color stones so that gets my vote.

Thanks @winnietucker I love halos too and that's what I'm leaning towards!

Halo looks better than solitaire imo. I haven't worn my solitaire stones often.

Thanks @MamaBear I think the halo is winning

Another vote for the halo! The contrast between the garnet and white diamonds will look beautiful. I love the color of that garnet @bling_dream19.

I’ll add my vote for a halo. I think colored gems just pop in an icy white halo.

Gorgeous garnet btw.

The halo is just the right size to bring out the beautuful Dorothy colour and not overwhelm her
