Platinum 950 Halo Ring Setting
When you are searching for the perfect ring, whether for an engagement, an anniversary, or to add a rare gemstone to your collection, you want beauty, durability, and the confidence that the piece can adapt to life with you. This custom made ring setting answers that need, with options in 14K rose gold, 18K rose gold, 14K white gold, 18K white gold, 14K yellow gold, 18K yellow gold, platinum 950, 14K white and yellow, 18K white and yellow. The design centers on a halo cushion style with a raised gallery to showcase a center stone of your choice, including sapphire, ruby, emerald, or a gemstone selected for personal significance, while round brilliant side stones accent the halo and pavé shoulders. The visual effect is a classic halo combined with a refined split shank, which creates a look of breathability and light, while maintaining ample metal where it matters for strength and future sizing. If you need the look of a high set halo and the stability of a solid build, this setting balances those priorities, keeping the center stone secure in its basket while the pavé row along the band adds scintillation without compromising the main structure.
Resizing considerations were integral to the way this setting is engineered, so adjusting the ring size is straightforward and safe, preserving the structural integrity of the piece. The split shank and the way the pavé stones are set were planned so that the lower inner shank, the area most suitable for sizing, remains free of delicate stones and detailed work. When a size change is required, we work on that plain portion of the band, either removing a small section for a size reduction and then soldering or adding a precisely matched strip of the same metal for an increase, or in small adjustments using stretching methods that are appropriate only when the metal profile and stone arrangement allow. For more meticulous work we use laser welding, which creates a seamless join with minimal heat impact on the surrounding metal and stones, and we perform controlled annealing to relieve internal stress that could otherwise affect long term durability. The gallery and prong settings that hold the halo and center stone are left undisturbed in typical sizing ranges, and if a larger adjustment is necessary we reinforce the area with an internal sizing bar or discreet metal underplate that preserves the outward appearance while increasing strength. For platinum 950 we apply specialist soldering and laser techniques tailored to the higher melting point and work hardening properties of platinum, ensuring a restoration that meets the same standards of finish and strength as the original piece. After resizing we recheck each side stone, re-tip prongs where needed, and repolish and finish in the original metal tone, applying rhodium plating on white gold pieces when required, so the ring looks as pristine as the day you first chose it.
Your search ends with a ring that is beautiful, customizable, and ready to adapt to your life, and we stand behind that promise with experience and craftsmanship. If your priority is a lively, colorful center stone, choose sapphire, ruby, or emerald, and select the metal that complements it, such as warm rose gold for rubies, yellow gold for classic contrast, or platinum and white gold for a contemporary clean look. If you need a size change today, we recommend telling us your current size and any anticipated changes so we can design with an optimal amount of plain shank at the base, making future resizing easier and more secure. Typical comfortable resizing ranges are within two sizes without needing extensive work, while larger alterations can be achieved with reinforcement methods described, and we will advise you on the best, least intrusive option for your chosen metal and stones. We offer lifetime care support, professional resizing, and maintenance to ensure prongs remain secure and pavé stones remain intact, giving you confidence that the ring will retain its beauty and structural integrity through many years of wear. When you are ready, we will create a custom proposal that lists the metal, center stone option, and the recommended sizing plan, so your piece fits perfectly and endures beautifully.
