Custom 1.51ct Pear Halo Engagement Ring

I made this pear halo engagement ring (with a 1.51ct center diamond!) in November for a holiday proposal. The halo is set with a sparkly split prong setting, and the shank has pavé diamonds to match. My customer provided a few images that he knew his girlfriend liked, and we created this classic engagement ring in just a few weeks. If you want a unique, custom engagement ring, send me a message! I'd love to help you create the ring of your dreams.
