Push Up Bra

Whenever I have clients that come in with champagne dreams on a beer budget, I always suggest a mounting with a halo.  A halo is basically a frame of diamonds around the center stone.  I just read the best description ever for a halo:  "a halo around a diamond acts as a push-up bra for the center stone"

I don't know why, but this totally made my day!  I guess it's the little things.  Here is the theory in practice:

This diamond is a round 1.21 carat in a solitaire mounting


Here is my ring.  It's a round 1.21 carat in a halo mounting.  See my point?

Here they are side by side

Huge difference, right?


Now I'm off to enjoy this gorgeous weather!

XOXO,

Marlene
