NYC stated it in her other thread......I'm adding a halo to my solitaire. After seeing Kohl_Mascara's lovely Sola, AmelieinParis' beautiful halo, Risingsun's.....Natalie Portman's gorgeous bauble......the halo continues to haunt me!
Yesterday I tried on a sample ring at my Jeweller. It's a "cushion" shaped halo surrounding a round solitaire. Wasn't 100% sold on keeping the cushion shape....thought I'd do more of a "round" halo, but thinking about it and the comments Lily, Sjunky, and Kohl stated, perhaps I will add a cushion halo instead of a round.
I'm keeping as much of my current setting as possible which is a "double-claw prong cathedral setting"
Photos, thoughts, ideas are welcome. Most likely my ring will be dropped off by the end of the week, so I won't be spending too much time searching. I basically know what I want! But it's fun to hear other thoughts and opinions
Here's what I tried on yesterday. (there's NO airline or gap in this setting.....what you're seeing is my bad camera angle that eludes to one, but it sits tightly with no space)
Like this Tacori too

It is one of my many pictures that I used as reference for my jeweler to build my ring. Although my new ring was build quite many years after my engagement and wedding, I was a total bridegila with the task!
That would make me a ring-gila? Anyways I had this huuuuge folder with my own sketches, pictures from magazines, prints from the internet and jewelery catalogs.
