Squiggly, that's such a lovely ring. What about the milgrained hexagon shaped head with smaller EC baguettes so it looks like steps down from the center with a migrained bezel set around those two?

I absolutely adore the M colored OMC in the really delicate halo I keep running across and pausing to admire.  I think it is 2 CT though.

Oh and there is the hexagon shaped halo I think I have posted before that has baguettes forming the halo
With rounds where the halos meet though I think I might prefer the rounds to be triangles. If diamonds are even cut into melee size triangles. I don't think I have ever seen that though.

agree one hundred percent.  but really, she's going to shine no matter WHAT you do!

My husband really wanted me to pick a sapphire as my engagement ring or, barring that, have sapphires as side stones. I have seen a few different antique style rings that have small sapphire accents that I thought were really pretty. I just don't know if I would want that color every single day. Same with rose gold since I don't own any nor have I ever owned any. I really ought to find at least a plain band to wear to see if I like it.
