WF halo bezel setting

[milton333]

I''m still contemplating an upgrade of diamond and setting. I''ve really been looking at a J stone. Color hasn''t bothered me when I''ve looked at a J in person, but that was in fairly jewelry-store specific lighting conditions.

I''ve been thinking that, since a superbly-cut J should face up very white, but the body may show some tint from the side, I might be playing it safe with a setting that obscures the body of the stone. I have recently been looking at the White Flash bezel halo. I''ve never had a halo ring before, and while they sparkle like mad in the jewelry store, I don''t know anyone in real life who has one, either, so I haven''t seen it in the real world.

I''m also accustomed to seeing the side profile of my diamond. I like how clear it is from the side. I''ve also heard that letting light enter from the pavillion can increase brilliance, and worry that a bezel setting will interfere with that.

Does anyone have the WF setting I''m looking at? Any similar bezel halos? Any thoughts on these issues?

Hi milton,

I would suggest doing a search on here for "WF bezel setting", and "J color". You will get many threads on both, and hopefully your questions will be answered. That's a very pretty setting!!

One thing I wanted to address. In a very well cut stone, the light that is returned to your eye, enters from the top. The bottom part doesn't play a part in that, so a bezel should not interefere with the beauty of the diamond.

Canuk-gal (Sharon) recently bought the halo in a J center stone. Here is her thread you may ask her her thoughts https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/so-far-so-good.72524/
It looks very white in the pics.

Here is my .75 J stone in WF's bezel halo pendant.......plenty white. (That setting is two tone, so the inner bezel is platinum.)

I'm sure you'd have no problems with your J stone in WF's bezel halo ring setting.
