Your diamond is beautiful. I prefer step cuts to be set with other step cuts. For me visually, I don’t like them with RBC halos. My choice would be for option no 1.
Is the first pic from Ring Concierge? Of the two options, I prefer the trap sides. Does your stone have similar dimensions?
Please help! I have my 3-carat emerald set on a plat halo... but I keep on seeing a 3-carat with trapezoids in both sides online being posted all the time and I am havjng a change of heart. Which one looks better in your opinion?
PS my hand is not as nice and filtered.
