Halo Rings
Halo settings feature a single diamond or gemstone in the centre, which is then completely surrounded by smaller diamonds. These round pavé or micro-pavé diamonds as they are called, highlight and draw focus to the centre stone when they reflect light. This creates a brilliant sparkle and gives the illusion that the central diamond is larger than its actual size.
The central stone is often a colourless diamond, but it’s now also common to see a fancy coloured diamond or other precious gemstone like a sapphire in the centre. And the surrounding pavé diamonds or gemstones can offer contrast to the design, with rubies and sapphires frequently used in a halo design to surround a colourless white diamond.
The origins of the classic halo setting can be traced back to the Art Deco era of the 1920s, when the emphasis on geometric symmetry made the halo design of concentric circles surrounding a central stone ideal for Art Deco aesthetics.
Halo engagement rings
The halo setting is a popular choice for engagement rings because of the myriad of options available to customise the ring’s design. While some of the most popular halo designs feature a round, princess cut or cushion shaped diamond, a range of different diamond shapes are used in this classic and much loved style of setting. For example, oval, emerald, and marquise diamonds can also be used.
The number of halos around the central stone is also something to consider. For very small central stones, double or triple halos are often used to make the stone appear much larger.
