Which Halo?

[Julian]

Which halo looks better?

And do halos on RBs make them look too much like buttons on the hand? Or an all seeing eye?

I just LOVE this setting -- saw it on a Pricescope ad and fell in love with it! The one pictured is a 4ct. RB.

Yum!

This is Halo #2!

I love the 3-D hand shots on JamesAllen.com!

I prefer halo #2. I think that #1 wouldn''t look right unless you have a really huge round stone in it.

~~I like halo #2... Unless you have a big stone, the split shank might make the stone look smaller.

Good points!

What do you think the cutoff would be in carats for Halo #1?
I wonder now if the 4ct pictured in it would look even better in Halo #2!

haha julian well you DO have a huge stone so i like #1 personally. esp if you decide to get a larger stone like a 3.5c that would be perfect. though a 3c would be fine too IMO. i just love that #1 picture! get the halo with 1 pointers and it will be wowza!

shrinkage really setting in eh?!?!

I have always loved #1. I think it''s stunning.

Definitely # 1- it is so beautiful, and I love the unique split shank on that ring. I dont recall what size your stone is, but I think if it is larger like 1.5+ cts it will look amazing!

Particularly with a large stone, I prefer #1!!!

I like the split shank. My ring has a split shank so I''m partial, I guess.

I like the first one because it seems much more delicate looking. Only problem would be finding a wedding band that would sit well with it.

 

[FacetFire]

#1!...definitely! Especially with a large stone!

My vote is for #2!!! I love halos!! Very nice...I''m not a big fan of #1''s split shank, and (I know I probablly stand alone in this one) I think the diamond size is a tad gaudy in ring 1 IMO. I may be biased since I''m a size 4.5 and that baby would look HUGE on my hand..and quite silly. Again just my .02

#2.

The thin band will really make your stone pop!

Then again, I am not a fan of split shank, so I''m a little prejudiced
