I did it! And I'm very happy. The center modified brilliant cushion is 1.21 carat. It is a GIA stone and "F" color , VS2. No florescence and other dimensions fall in the recommended ranges. I know many people on the forum prefer the look of much smaller pave diamonds in a halo. Mine are 2 pointers on halo and band and the wedding band below. I already own a round stone set in a halo with much much tinier diamonds and was going for a different look this time. I'm very pleased and feel like I got a decent deal. For diamond, setting and the wedding band - it was an even $10,000. But.....it is also all in white gold. I have 3 other diamond rings set in platinum and wanted something different this time. Very very comfortable on and extremely white and sparkly!
