wow that's really nice! not too sure if you have shared it before, but what carat size is this?

it's a 0.838 carat, F color, VS1. :s12:

"fake" 1+carat because of the halo setting :s13::s13:

to answer your previous question, i would choose super ideal because it gives me more bang for my buck. i was shown solesfera and super ideal side by side and i prefer super ideal because i felt the solesfera was too sparkly which gave a disco ball effect with smaller sparkles while the super ideal sparkles were bigger. so it depends on what kind of effect you prefer.

but value wise, solesfera can cost 10-20% more which can get you a bigger carat size for the super ideal.

I love halo settings too! Btw what size are your side diamonds and your ring size? I'm in the process of doing my setting, can't decide!

I have actually reserved a super ideal already, just that the 91 facets that solasfera has is very appealing - but i have to agree with you, the sparkles are alittle messy cos there's so much!

if you want, can do 2 rounds of halo or halo with split shank (remembered someone shared her ring in the earlier thread here). But not everyone likes halo because it steals the limelight of the main diamond. :o

I have no idea the size of the side diamonds, only when we collected the ring then casey said it looks bigger than a 1 carat :s13: but i think its their standard melee diamonds size.

Sharing my diamond pics. Still chose the halo setting with side diamonds. 😁

So pretty!! Your wedding band matches the e-ring very nicely.
I'm usually not a big fan of halo settings becos the ones I saw seems very over the top and bulky.
But yours looks so lovely and dainty. I like! =:p

I was quoted $1.2k for halo setting, ring size 49. When will your ring be ready? :)

Ahh I see, I was given the option of the size of the side diamonds so that made me even more indecisive.

Yeah I remember someone posting a split shank version of the halo setting but that would be little too overwhelming to my liking. To each its own i guess!

Anyway, how long was the entire process? From choosing the diamond to finalising the setting/ design and finally collecting it?

Thank you for being so helpful!

for the melees i think its best to leave it to them as they will match the size proportionately to your diamond.

My current ring took abt 3 weeks because i reused the previous ring band as the current one is an upgrade and we requested for JP to rush it out for us as my wedding is this week. :o

Can anyone help to post pictures of my scope and cert or is there any way that I can do by myself? I've purchased this recently - GIA 7211387003 and would like to know what you guys think.

I think u need to have a min. post count before you can post pics. Maybe you could share the photo links and some kind soul here can help you :)

Btw how much did you spend on the rock? I purchased a similar one recently too.

wow the rose gold heart design is pretty. and the solasfera is so sparkly! Did you custom made the design?

haha actually never really customize. just pick a few pre-made one and combine and ask if it's doable.

Nice!! Update us when you have collected the ring? Possible to share how much you paid for your Solasfera?

Thank you for your help! I'll share the photo links later!

Mine was 4.6K. What about yours? Care to share your specs? I haven't given the go-ahead yet cos I still haven't really made up my mind on the diamond and if I wanna up the size:s8::s8:
