Hi there,
Anyone have pics of split shank rings with lesser than 1 CT center stone with OUT halos? Ideally something around the .75 ct range. I've been digging around and whilst there are many many pics of split shank rings, not many with smaller diamonds.
Thanks.
 
Here's mine - 0.74ct in an A. Jaffe split shank

Thanks a lot for those pics and links!

I've been trying to go through as many images as possible, there are just so many! Do you think something like this would work with a 3/4 ct?

I've seen a few similar pics on various pricescope threads but all with much larger stones. Thinking I could remove the diamonds on the prongs to make them smaller to not overwhelm the smaller diamond - any opinions?

That's a stunning setting and I think a .75ct would look beautiful in it, absolutely! It's worth asking about the prongs, but I think it'll look lovely either way!
 
Anyone? I guess its a bit of an odd question and I should probably make a new post.

Anyone have any idea on what the size of the pave stones would be in the shank? 1 point leading to 1/2 point in the split sections? The Daniel K setting in the link below seems to be identical:
https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/whose-split-shank-crown-setting-is-this.70286/

The lady sporting that ring has a size 3.5 finger which means the stone in question is well over 1 ct in size. IIRC, it is probably between 2 and 3 ct. It is possible that the stones in the shank are 1 pointers and the split section holds 1/2 pointers but to make that proportional for a 0.75 ct stone means that they would have to be much smaller. To get that same look, you either have to go with custom handforged or see what Daniel K offers, both of which are extremely pricey.
 
I'm so far going with custom as I want to get the work done locally. The only limit is that each of the metal walls (on the sides of the diamonds) would be 0.5mm according to the jeweler. Which makes the metal seem a bit overwhelming compared to such small stones.
 
Yes, both the amount of metal and the size of the melees are very small, hence the delicate proportions. MOST local jewellers cannot do this correctly and with a high level of finish/quality, hence please ask to see similar example work before making the final selection as who is to create this ring for you.
 
Not very good at showing the split shank itself but I thought it is a cool macro shot I took the other day

.75 I VS2 XXX for the stone. Haven't popped the question yet but if all goes well this weekend will be a good one.

First post!

Thanks for the feedback and the pics.

You've made a good point regarding the amount of metal. It occurs to me that the setting I'd linked was done in platinum and I'm intending to use 18k. So they may be able to make that narrow, especially where it splits. This is bit tricky now.
 
Hi Sparks_Not_Lost,

It looks great!
Is that the one from James Allen?
I´m looking at a very similar one.

Could you please upload more pictures and give me more specs and price $$ ??

Congratulations!
 
My friend is currently in the makings of one...80 points, made by cvb inspired designs

I will post it asap lol. But will be a week or two

I would have thought a 2 or 3 ct ring would have looked much larger on a 3.5 size finger. I would have thought the opposite, that the diamond was not so large, given the finger size and actually looks larger on her than it would on a size 5 or so average size finger. Maybe I'm missing something. I was never good at math :confused:
