I voted the first option but really like them all. I especially love those beaded bands!!!

I KNOW!!!
Did you check out the one with the diamond accents in the beads?!?! Amazing!

I picked option 3 because I love a simple halo like that without stones. I think it will look really unique! I actually contacted Jill to see about doing a project before I decided to get my OEC. She seems really nice and I can't wait to see how your ring turns out!

Agreed - love #1 and love the diamond accents int he beads - NICE!!!!

Soooo...... Thanks to everyone who voted! I ended up picking the setting that most people voted for, so I guess my gut feeling was right! :-)

ALTHOUGH.....I was totally seduced by the beauty of a light charcoal grey rose cut diamond!!!!

I´m going to be leaving my OEC dreams for my next project because an elongated east west rose cut just looks SOOOOOO right with this setting.

Jill is going to help me look for the right stone. I´m wavering between either a light charcoal grey with some translucence or a creamy beige, also with some translucence.

Creamy beige like the one in the center, yet a not so opaque...


OR

Light charcoal grey like the one in the bottom center



In either case, the setting would be the one with the bezel in 22k, with a mini granulation halo, and a diamond accented granule on either side with the 18k shank, (like the creamy beige rose cut ring)

Any opinions as to which might look better with 22k?
Thanks for your feedback everyone!!

I think the beige looks better with the 22k; both warm tones. While I like the grey better, the cool grey with the warm metal clashes to me.

Oh that's true JCent, i didnt think of that before I voted. So I want to change mine lol.

I'm late to the party, but I chose the third on the first poll (LOVE THAT BEZEL WITH THE HALO!!!) And second on the second. I agree with Jcent about the clashing.

This ring is going to be INCREDIBLE.

I love the contrast between the cool grey and the warm, almost hot gold. I voted light charcoal grey.

that way, both the gold design of the setting stands out and the beauty of the stone stands out. Those who admire will get in close to examine both setting and stone- then they get equal attention.
