Halo Engagement Rings

Halo settings are rings in which a center gemstone or diamond is complemented by at least one additional row of smaller accent stones. The most popular style is one in which the center gem is completely encircled by diamonds that are best seen from the table down perspective.

This is one of the biggest draws of halo diamond rings. The circle of smaller diamonds helps make the center diamond look much larger by enhancing the appearance of the main stone and adding additional sparkle around it. With added light and scintillation, a halo ring setting can sometimes help center diamonds or gemstones look larger than their actual size.

Halo engagement ring settings will often include information about the main stone’s carat weight and something additional called carat total weight. The carat total weight is a numerical value that includes all of the stones in the setting. Single diamond carat weight, on the other hand, only refers to the main stone. This means that halo engagement rings can have both descriptions or just the carat total weight rating.

Single halo and double halo settings look especially brilliant surrounding round, cushion, and princess diamonds. Round halo engagement rings offer an update to the solitaire style while cushion and princess cut halo engagement rings offer modern takes on these diamond shapes. As halo engagement rings continue to grow in popularity, more unique fancy-cut shapes are also receiving the sparkling halo treatment.

A halo ring is a symbolic piece of jewelry often given to represent an engagement. Halo ring refers to the halo ring setting in which a main stone, typically a diamond, is encircled by accent stones such as pavé diamonds.

As with all our engagement rings, a halo ring represents an everlasting commitment.

Gemstone and diamond halo engagement rings have maintained popularity due to their impressive sparkle. These rings can help maximize any engagement ring budget by enhancing a center stone with smaller diamonds or gems. The halo, whether it’s a single halo or a double halo, is a versatile style that works with many stone types and shapes.

Halo rings sparkle in many metal types. They're most commonly seen in white gold or platinum but can also be found in yellow and rose gold.

A double halo ring is a setting in which there are two rows of diamonds or gemstones encircling a center stone.

Most halo rings are diamond-focused, though some can contain gemstones like sapphires, rubies or emeralds instead. Halo engagement rings are traditionally diamond settings but gemstones are increasingly popular in this engagement ring style.

Traditional halo rings include a row of accent stones around the ring’s main stone as viewed from above. A hidden halo ring utilizes a row of stones that can be seen from the side of the ring. The hidden halo is usually set below the main stone, adding extra surprise sparkle from a new angle.
