Is this possible? It's a halo, so it sort of makes sense (no basket, so open beneath and the stone sits high).

Hi Monkey pie
On the face, I'd say if you're using the same stone it will be difficult- if not impossible.
But if you can show a picture I might be able to give a more advised answer

We've done it, but not using the same stone- because the amount of room on top changes.

My ering was turned from prong to bezel, however the same stone was not used (like in RD's example). A slightly smaller center stone was needed when the ring was changed to a bezel.

Oh yes, I knew I didn't want to use the same center stone. It was just sort of a curiosity question because I saw a ring I liked, but I want only bezels now with a 6 month old that gets scratched easily, you know? All the more reason for a new ring :Up_to_something:
