Before making this bold leap into altering something so precious to you let's discuss some key steps and considerations before we jump headfirst into modifying this symbol of love!

Assess Your Ring: Suitability for Halo Transformation

Transforming a ring into one with a halo isn't something everyone needs to consider at once; here are a few key points you need to bear in mind before undertaking this transformation:

• Metal Matters: Your choice of metal for your ring plays a critical role. Platinum and gold tend to be more malleable and easier to work with than harder metals like titanium; EX3 Diamonds' experienced jewellers can assess your specific piece to provide tailored advice regarding modifications that could improve it further.
• Setting Carefully: Your centre stone's setting should also be given serious thought since basket or bezel settings could impose limitations when adding a halo whereas prong settings offer greater versatility and freedom for customization.
• Design Harmony: When purchasing your ring, take time to consider its overall design. Does the addition of a halo match its aesthetics, or does any part clash? Various ring styles might clash when combined - make sure the final result feels cohesive for best results.

Transformation Process of Ring to Halo Masterpiece

• Halo Setting Creation: Your jeweller will craft the halo setting so it seamlessly integrates with the current ring you wear.
• Securing the Gemstone: When installing and securing the gemstone in its new setting, care must be taken in setting and attaching its newly designed halo.
• Polishing & Perfection: Each ring is carefully polished and inspected to guarantee an unblemished finish.
