So thanks to this forum, I've gotten on a halo kick lately. Especially after seeing Kohl_Mascara's Sola ring and talking with Contessa. I single handedly blame both of you for this halo love!!!!
I can't get it out of my head and I keep thinking how pretty my ring would look haloed. So......long story short, I'm going to reset my diamonds!! I brought the idea up with my DF and he just gave in...I think he realizes that it's just easier to give in to me!
So...I present to you my new setting!!! I just searched the interwebs and fell in love with it! I emailed my jeweler and he said that he will re-set my diamonds in this setting even though it isn't from him.
This will now lay to rest my wedding band search which has been hell and I get the ring I've dreamed of!! I
the European shank on it!! I will be ordering a second wedding band to go on the other side of the engagement ring so it creates a sandwich!!
My original ring specs are: 18kt white gold. 1.10 ct F VVS1 center and .52 & .54ct F/G VVS1-2 side stones.
