Would you change your halo if you could?

I have been contemplating a remount to a halo....just wondering if the halo ladies still LOVE their halo or would they change to something else?

I am the first to reply AGAIN

Most of my rings are haloed, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! Not only does it increase finger coverage( I personally like larger looking ring) I feels that it makes a piece of jewelry much more sophisticated looking.

I have had mine 3+ years and love it still although I sometimes feel it is too large for my hand and mine is not very big but I have short stubby fingers. If you are looking to enhance the stone you have I would go for it! Halos were used in victorian and art deco era rings also so I feel the look is timeless.

I have a lot of rings of all types so... maybe I don''t count? lol

I only have one halo ring (RHR) and really like it but generally I have stayed away from them because I feel the halo detracts from the center stone and I don''t care for very large jewelry so I didn''t care for them on my finger. I see many lovely halos on PS and I think most people wouldn''t tire of their halos since they obviously liked them in the beginning.

I have only one halo ring as I enjoy having a variety of setting styles. I’m very happy with the halo design and workmanship, and also love the stone set into it, so I doubt I’ll be resetting it in the future.

I have no creativity or imagination when it comes to setting design, so I love halos. For me they're the easiest way to make an okay stone pop or a really fine stone pop even more. Like Chictomato says, it increases finger coverage, and there's just something about diamonds around a stone that makes the stone look so much better!! I have a spessartite that I had in a prong setting (no halo) and it's a very fine stone, but when I haloed it. . .

That being said, I think the exception to a halo is a dark toned stone that needs a lot of light to get some sparkle. A halo tends to darken a stone.
