Pretty! A perfect setting for an OMC.
Thank you! And I love that I was able to salvage it. My estate jeweler practically gave it to me BC she said no one wanted it in its condition. Here is a picture of before and after. image_387.jpg

What a transformation! Great find! Thanks for sharing the before picture :wavey:

Absolutely beautiful. That halo looks like diamond lace. I would love to have a ring like this.

Beautiful and oh so blingy! And I love the yellow gold bezel - it really brings out your OMC's character! :appl:

Thank you! I totally agree. In the past I had it set in white but it didn't do it justice, so a two-tone was a great compromise!

Nala - this is gorgeous! I love how the YG just accents the diamond so beautifully! Might I ask, what color is the center diamond? I am always hunting down pics of OMCs & OECs in YG to get ideas for metal inspiration for my own diamond. And don't be afraid to post a closer up of that baby! :naughty: Thanks! :wavey:

Thank you, JoCoJenn! My stone is uncertified so I have no idea what color it is. I can post pictures of it in different settings so that you can try to estimate. I know it's not a fancy yellow, but I don't know at what Letter grade the stone becomes fancy yellow?

I really loved how my stone looked in the last YG halo setting, but unfortunately, it was too delicate for a right hand ring. In the other first three settings, I was trying to make the stone match with an antique style setting, but somehow it wasn't doing the stone justice. Needless to say, I'm overjoyed with this setting bc I finally got the antique setting and it enhances my stone!

This stone looks PERFECT in it's final setting. Quite a long journey!!

Where did you find the stone to begin with? I love the chunky sparkles of the OMCs.

This setting was made for your stone! And your jeweler said, no one wanted that stone??? People are blind, they don’t see real beauty!

LOVE the ring and the stack is nice. Could you share the address of the vintage store you found this setting in and the jeweler that did such a great job bezeling the stone?
