Halo Engagement Rings

What are halo engagement rings?

Halo engagement rings are a popular style that features a centrepiece diamond or gemstone surrounded by smaller diamonds or other precious stones. The design creates the illusion of a larger centre stone by adding sparkle and shine with the surrounding stones. The smaller stones act as a "halo" around the centre stone, thereby adding extra brilliance and a more dramatic appearance. Halo engagement rings can be customised in various styles, from classic and elegant to modern and edgy. They provide a great option for anyone who loves the look of a larger centre stone but doesn't want to spend a fortune on a big diamond or gemstone.

What is the history of halo engagement rings?

The halo engagement ring is a popular style that features a central diamond or gemstone surrounded by a circle of smaller diamonds or gemstones. The history of this design can be traced back to the Art Deco period of the 1920s, which featured geometric shapes and bold designs. However, the halo style gained widespread popularity in the 21st century, thanks in part to its appearance in celebrity engagements. The additional smaller stones enhance the central stone's size and sparkle, resulting in a breathtaking and dazzling effect. With its vintage-inspired elegance and timeless appeal, the halo engagement ring has become a popular choice for modern brides-to-be.

How much bigger does a halo make an engagement ring look?

A halo setting can make an engagement ring look significantly larger than its actual size. The design consists of a centre stone surrounded by smaller, often pavé-set diamonds or other gemstones, which creates a "halo" effect. This makes the centre stone appear bigger and more brilliant, giving the illusion of a larger ring. On average, a halo can make a diamond appear up to half a carat larger than its actual size. However, the amount of increase in size will depend on the diameter, cut, and type of centre stone, as well as the size and shape of the halo. Overall, a halo setting is an excellent option for those who want a bigger, more dramatic look without breaking the bank.
