### What You’ll Learn

**Create the Centerpiece**\
Start by crafting the pendant’s centerpiece—a brilliant 0.4-carat diamond. Set your scene with a clear visual by switching to the Shaded Display Mode for better clarity.

**Design the Halo Setting**\
Build a beautiful halo that highlights the center diamond. Adjust the width, height, and prongs to create a balanced, eye-catching setting around the gemstone. Refine every prong, drill, and inner gem distance for that perfect touch.

**Position and Add the Bail**\
Perfectly position your centerpiece and halo, then customize the pendant’s bail for elegance and functionality. Fine-tune its profile and add an O-Ring for versatility.

**Pose for Render**\
Rotate and pose the pendant so that it aligns perfectly for display. Use array techniques for a symmetrical layout, showcasing the pendant from all sides.
