Setting opinions wanted

So I've had my 0.74ct mrb on consignment for almost 2 years, with very little interest. So if it's not going to sell, maybe I should just keep it! I've picked out a few halos for it - what do you think?

Option 1: Stuller floral (I've been very happy with all the stuller settings I've had)

Option 2: Stuller plain bezel

I like it too! I don't know about the feel of it - would it be any more bothersome than the pave / milgrain / engraving on the BevK?

I think they are lovely! I have some engraved bands and they are rough between my fingers. I just put up with is at I love the rings... but definitely don't get a size larger than needed as it will poke more into the adjacent fingers.

If I were choosing for myself between those three, I would choose the bev. k. I picked up some bev k earrings recently and think they are lovely with good workmanship. I love the vintage feel and think the set is simply gorgeous.

Thanks @apacherose for the input. I do wonder if the culet of the stone would poke my finger on the BevK. I've had my eye on that setting for several years... maybe I should just bite the bullet!

It is a seriously gorgeous setting. Lah-ooove those tab prongs. Did not occur to me that the culet might poke one's finger, but I see what you mean. But.. I doubt it will. I think I wondered the same thing with my sebastien barier halo but doesn't even come close.

We have similar taste in settings, I love the julia, one of my all time fave's.

My pick would be the Beverley, but I was also ogling this two tone halo setting the other day and it looks like it's a good size match for your diamond: https://www.riogrande.com/product/1...i-mount-halo-engagement-ring-mounting/6762457

The Stuller has such a gorgeous band and is classic halo with a twist. As a side note, I have an engraved/chased wedding band that’s a half size bigger than I need and I do notice the texture but it’s not rough or intrusive at all

My vote is for the Bev K ring, too. My e-ring has pave and milgrain in its sides; I notice the bumpiness sometimes when I move my fingers, but it's not irritating at all. The floral design on the Stuller is so pretty, but I'd also be worried about it bugging me after wearing it for more than like, 2 seconds. It looks like it has additional metal sitting on top of the shanks, as opposed to the design being engraved "into" the metal, if that makes sense.

That Stuller ring is beautiful! But I also don't know if it would bother me. I feel like ordering one of the bands because it is so pretty! The BK is great, but I just personally prefer the shank to go all the way around.

Have you considered making a pendant instead? I am working on a pendant now with my .80 family stone.

I think all three would be lovely. I voted for Stuller floral, just because it looks like it would be gorgeous in real life. But I also love the understated elegance of a plain bezel, so that's choice two for me. The Bev K is my 3rd choice, but not by far. I am generally not a halo girl for diamond center stones (yes for colored center stones), but I think this one is pretty and classy. I like all three, basically, so I'm not much help!

The floral is so interesting! Has anyone seen it in real life? It’s hard to get an idea from the stuller website.
