Hi everyone. I have been lurking here for a while and am finally at the stage in my life where I am ready to proceed
My GF likes David Yurman (personally, I am not a fan of it and like guy mentality, I want more value for the diamond). She particularly likes the Capri setting, which is a round solitaire with a halo (http://www.davidyurman.com/products/wedding/engagement-rings/dy-capri-engagement-ring-collection-/dy-capri-pave-engagement-ring-in-platinum-wr1056pl.html?lpos=PLP-1&item=wr1056rpl&source=plp).
I went to the store to see it and it looks nothing special to me. The only thing that I can see is that the setting of the halo is more flush and tight compared to ones in typical jewelry stores. After doing research, she went with me to a jeweler where she looked at the Stuller book to see all the designs and it was explained to her that custom designs can be made.
My good friend's parents own a jewelry store so they told me to look at diamond selections at stuller and they can just order the diamond for me at cost (which is awesome). So now the question remains is the setting.
Do you all have suggestions of a jeweler that can duplicate the Capri design, particularly how the halo looks more "tight" or "continuous" with the diamond? Some halos have visible larger bezels and pavé diamonds that look more chunky around it.
edit: I've read previously on this forum of this designer: http://www.stevenkirsch.com/engagement/halo/r0113.html Does anyone have this model and can comment on how close it is to Yurman aka ripoff
Thanks a lot.
