Cant make a decision on ovals with the numbers, you have to go with the way it looks. You would want to know that the ends arent dead and it doesnt have a bowtie. Whats your budget for the stone??

 

[bigds]

Up to 30k. The stones listed above range from 15k to 33k.

 

[Niel]

is that setting included? And what setting will you go with??

 

[bigds]

No just stone. I am awaiting some choices from GOG, but my big concern is once a retailer knows your budget, everything always costs your budget.

For a setting it will be a halo head with a band that looks very similar to the Dior Boise de Rose line since that is my wife's wedding band.

 

[Niel]

oh so a plain shank halo? that sounds lovely!
I took a look at james allen and i didnt really find any good ones other than this, and its too small. they didnt really have any in your size range

BUT, i htink going with GOG is the best idea. They wouldnt try and stick it to you, i think he will find you something nice. Whos making the setting?

 

[bigds]

We were going to have them make it. Is there a better solution? We live in NYC.

 

[Niel]

Do you have a fairly good budget for the setting too? If so I'd go with Leon mege. He does great work! I've heard he's a little more particular in his designs. So if I went with him I'd say " I need a plain shank halo to pair well with this band she has and see what he can do!
