#769135 - 08/12/12 07:31 AM Winston Halo Help!!!
BeautyObsessed2 Curious Registered: 08/08/12 Posts: 4	So my fiancée and I decided on the 6mm cushion cut Asha Winston setting from ashadiamonds.com and now I am having serious doubt as to whether we chose the right size or if I should have gone for the 6.5mm. Can you please post pictures of your 6mm halo cushion cuts??? I would love to see how it scales to size on different size hands. I wear a size 4 so my concern was not to get something too big and have it look ridiculous on my tiny fingers, however I do like a bit of "flash" as I am a NY girl, but nothing over the top. Any pictures or words of advice would be greatly appreciated. Also how long did you wait to receive your ring orders? I'm going crazy checking the order status every morning, afternoon, and night.... Lol. I dream about it!!!

jeni7777 Curious Registered: 08/08/12 Posts: 17	I asked a similar question a few days ago-- I'm planning on getting the winston halo too, and have am a size 4.25-- I eventually decided to go with the 6.5mm, but I think the 6mm would look lovely too. The halo really does make it look much larger, especially with small fingers. Please post pics when you get yours-- I would LOVE to see!!

labelo Mentor Registered: 10/04/11 Posts: 803 Loc: US	It's not a Winston halo, but it is a 6mm cushion halo. Size 6.5 finger. I think the 6mm can offer plenty of coverage in a halo, especially on a size 4 It's a nice, realistic size, but big enough to have a bit of wow factor. http://betterthandiamond.com/discussion/ubbthreads.php/topics/745386/1

roogirl BTD Crown Jewel Registered: 04/06/06 Posts: 16928 Loc: Sparklieville USA	I think a 6 mm cushion in any kind of a halo looks amazing.. it's the perfect balance of stone and halo... just like an 8mm round brilliant sapphire is perfect round stone size... I guess that's kind of apples to oranges... but I think you get what I mean about the look of perfection to something... _________________________ ~~ Got Sparkle ~~

Lol. I dream about it!!! I recently thought the same thing with my 7mm halo. At time I ordered it I thought this over long and hard, and actually downsized from a 7.5mm. I think you'll be fine. Don't worry until you get it and you can always upgrade

diamondangel BTD Crown Jewel Registered: 04/08/02 Posts: 18664 Loc: Northwestern NJ	I've got a Grace halo with a 5.6mm diamond in it, with a size 6.5-7 finger and found it to be plenty of finger coverage. Same finger, with a 2ct round moissy: The halo makes a big impact with a small stone. _________________________ Email [email protected] for Fine custom jewelry, diamonds, gems, WinkCZs, Ashas & Amora!

BeautyObsessed2 Curious Registered: 08/08/12 Posts: 4	Beautiful Rings! Thanks ladies! My ring is on the fed ex truck, so hopefully all my worries will subside once it arrives. You're right though, the halo makes all the difference. I contacted ashadiamonds.com and they measured the ring at 9mm total. That's a great amount of finger coverage!
