Hi all!

I'm proud to present the newest addition to our Signature Line of settings, the "Bella" halo. Like the Gabbie, with this design we were striving to create a halo that is different than others on the market.

Hope you love it as much as we do. Pictured below in both white and rose gold. I'm going to be resetting my 9mm OEC into the rose gold version smile

And, because CAD's are so magnified and chunky, here are pics of the halo reduced to near-actual size for scale (not quite, just measured and the stone in the reduced CAD is about 11-12mm instead of 9mm, lol, but you get the picture!):

Thank you!!!!

Last but not least, here's a version we did in 2-tone (rose and white) without the tapered shoulders, with no milgrain in the halo, using pink melee. I THINK I prefer the milgrained cathedral version, but there may be some who prefer it this way and I thought I'd post it for comparison. The possibilities are endless!

The two-tone gives it more of a floral effect. They are all soooo beautiful. love

I also want to call out that JbEG milgrain is very subtle and dainty. CAD's make it look a little bulky and distracting, but I promise it does not compete or overwhelm the ring! It's a very delicate and beautiful addition for those of us who adore milgrain. smile

That's so true! It's veeeery subtle and delicate in person. CAD's are just terrible at showing it!

I do love the two-tone also - I haven't pulled the trigger yet on my personal order because I'm so torn!

I'm interested to know what folks think of the tapered shoulders versus no shoulders versions. I go back and forth and love both!

I'm also torn, which is why I didn't comment on it! The taper is great at transitioning the halo and the band, but the non-taper really lets the halo take center stage.

I also think it would be cool if the halo & shank were white gold, but the basket was rose gold. A rosey surprise whenever the ring tilts. smile

I feel like the two tone really emphasized the beautiful hearts in the basket, you know?

Doing the halo and shank in white, but the basket in rose gold is a cool idea, milady! I've been wanting to halo my OEC to give it a size boost, but fear that the rose, while beautiful and really bringing attention to the center stone, won't accomplish that.

But your idea would give me the best of both worlds!

I would think the tapered shoulders would give the ring more stability for everyday wear. Without it vaguely gives me the impression of a cocktail ring. Not the tacky, cheap ones but the ones my mother kept in her jewel box for occasions. ~Red
