halo engagement Rings

Halo engagement rings are a popular engagement ring style for those looking for a little more sparkle. These gorgeous ring settings are characterised by a central stone surrounded by a ring or “Halo” of smaller stones.

Halo diamond rings dazzle as much or as little as you want them to. They can sparkle softly and  subtly, or they can be elaborate pieces of art. There are many ways you can create a distinct aesthetic with a sought-after setting like a halo engagement ring.

Any diamond shape can be a halo ring setting, as long as it has a stream of stones that outlines its shape. These stunning diamond ring settings are a favourite for those looking to make a smaller centre appear larger without costing them more. 

Halo History and and Evolution
Developments of the traditional halo engagement ring style dates back to the 1700s, during the Georgian jewellery era. Though it is often described as a vintage setting, the halo engagement ring possesses the ability to make a fluid transition from vintage to modern. They display extra sparkle when compared to the classic solitaire engagement ring, but don’t necessarily have to be flashy. Today, halo engagement rings are a timeless and elite choice of engagement ring settings.

Many celebrity engagement rings have been halo ring settings. Some of these celebrities include Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton, Miranda Kerr, and Blake Lively. 

Benefits and Features of a Halo Engagement Ring

Aside from their dazzling and versatile appearance, here are just a couple wonderful benefits to choosing a halo engagement ring.

They protect your centre stone.
Diamonds are the hardest mineral on Earth, but that doesn’t mean they are unbreakable. A gem’s hardness equates to its ability to be scratched. A gem’s ability to chip or break is called its tenacity. Some gems may be more susceptible to breaking if hit on the edge by an accidental blow. The ring around the halo may provide added protection for these types of stones.

They are a cost-affordable solution to a “big ring”.

By no means do we believe there is a problem with a modest sized diamond or engagement ring. Petite, dainty engagement rings with minimalist aesthetics have been admired throughout jewellery history and continue to be popular today. In a contrasting approach, RING Jewellers is committed to helping our customers create the engagement ring of their dreams. Some people dream of having a big ring. For many, that means choosing the largest carat weight they can afford. This can greatly increase the cost of your diamond or gemstone. Not everyone is capable of affording high carat weights, especially in diamonds or rare coloured stones.
In addition, larger gemstones with low cut quality or low clarity grades are much less appealing. A lower carat weight for a diamond with higher clarity and excellent cut quality is a better value and more beautiful diamond.
Simply adding a halo of stones around a smaller gemstone can make the overall size of an engagement ring look larger. Simply click on any of our made-to-order halo engagement ringsbelow, or contact us using the from below to create your own.
