I love the hearts or pears on the sides making a three stone....

Well given that your average 7 pointer is about 2.7 mm in diameter I will guess that is a carat total weight and not 7 points each.

I took the photo and measured it digitally so I am gettnig approximate pixel sizes.  The melee on this ring are approximately 1/6 of the width of the diamond.  The metal adds more but the diamonds themselves are probably about 1mm across which means they are less than 1 point each.

If the math is good they are about 2/5 to 1/2 a point.

That's if my math is good and I'm not so good at math

Well remember thi iss my math, so it may or may not be correct.  The 1/6 width part is right though at least

I actually almost suggested that pink lemonade before, but wasn't sure if the halo would be big enough.  Compared to the emerald ring I am very confident it would be.  I would love to see a heart shaped ring like that

So I asked David about setting my heart in R3478 style and it's going to be outta my price range  but pink lemonade will be possible and David thinks it would look very nice! So pink lemonade is going to be my default option.

Just today I suddenly started wondering if I should consider a double halo of colorless diamonds kinda like R4014... what do you guys think? Will it be too OTT?

Anyone here have photoshop abilities who can help me do a pink lemonade mockup and a R4014 mockup? 

WOW, you are so sweet clgwli  Take your time, take your time. I am just thrilled you'd do it for me 

For a single halo it might be doable.  It really isn't much like the style of the pink lemonades to do that though.

I also don't know how Flamboyant's heart will match up shape wise. ie how broad the heart is or how big the cleft is.  There are a lot more issues with hearts to work around even compared to cut corners of radiants.  Also the lack of hearts out there make it even more difficult to find the right stuff.

When I do mock ups for CDIers I only use DBL photos to make it more legit looking.  I also think that is what is right to o here. 

to do a double halo means I either have to find two similar shaped heart halo rings with nearly same type of halo but only a difference in the size of the center stone or I have to stretch the outer halo which means strange distortions or the outer halo being larger in stone size to make it work.  Either is not very good IMO.  Or to build a larger halo from scratch with just a copy of the halo stones would take me forever to do.

I don't want to say I won't try, but please understand if I can't meet this challenge well.  I do love a good one though but my husband even just said "yeah no... good luck" when I told him   I will try for at least a pink lemonade for you

Thanks clgwli, of course I understand and you are very nice to try  OMC, I hear ya. If this heart belonged to you, what would you pick? (has to be a ring)

Just quoting this to say if I had a heart this is what I would do with it.  Halo or not, I would bezel the beauty.  Why?  Absolutely accentuates the cleft of the heart.

Like OMC said I worry about a double halo removing the most important part of the heart... the cleft.  Once you lose that you wind up with a totally different look.

Hi OMC, of the ones you posted I like the bypass ring. I'd love a simple bypass ring but I can't get another heart  , too pricey.

Hi clgwli, I agree a bezel would look very nice and accentuate the shape. I'll make sure I tell David I want it bezeled rather than with prongs. I am also seeing your and OMC's points about double halos. I didn't realize hearts are that tricky a shape but it makes sense... I think a single halo would work best. Well... I think my mind is almost made up, I shall go with a pink lemonade ring. I just hope the finger coverage ends up being nice.  I think the halo will add about 2 mm to my heart so it will be approx 7mm x 8mm  clwgli, don't bother photoshopping a double halo please.

I am excited 

Well it isn't bezled, but this even took me a long time to get this and it isn't perfect.  I wound up having to use R3981 ring to do it.



I suppose if David has a chance he could measure the size of the halos and see how much more they add.  I'd imagine 2-3mm on either side.  Even my double bezel adds 1.5mm on either side and I don't have diamonds in it, so I can't imagine the halo adding less than that.

It hopefully should be fairly accurate size wise.  The pear was only a teeny big shorter than your heart is.  Obviously the factory will pick stones that fit the shape wonderfully so it could vary a little maybe???  I dunno but that at least should be a decent rough idea.

Glad you liked it.  I couldn't get the bottom prong right, but the rest was decent.  I gave up trying to pink up some white heart halos and decided to go with this.  Worked much better
