If you’re looking for an engagement ring that will immediately wow everyone, the halo design might be the answer. With its clever design, a halo ring makes the center stone appear larger and more brilliant.
A halo engagement ring features a center stone surrounded by one or more circles of smaller diamonds, which create a “halo” effect when the light hits them, and that’s where the name comes from. This design began gaining popularity in the Middle Ages and became famous in the early 20th century with the rise of the Art Deco style. Today, it has become one of the most popular engagement ring styles.
Each halo engagement ring from MollyJewelryUS is unique, from the traditional diamond halo setting to the more innovative colored stone halo setting. Different styles of halo rings are created through different gemstone types, shapes, and designs.
You can choose your preferred metal for the design you love—we offer a variety of high-quality precious metals, including 10k, 14k, and 18k yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, sterling silver, and platinum. You can also engrave a meaningful message that’s special to you both. And of course, you’re welcome to redesign your dream halo ring from scratch—starting with a vision that’s entirely your own.
Oh, by the way! Do you know the symbolism of halo engagement rings? It’s eternal love and unbreakable commitment!
No! You can purchase a halo engagement ring with moissanite, sapphire, ruby, emerald, or any gemstone that speaks to you. The halo effect works with any center stone you choose.
Absolutely. The halo design enhances the center stone’s visual size, making it appear larger than it actually is. This is a great way to maximize the impact of smaller diamonds.
Yes! The halo setting is generally quite secure. However, since multiple smaller stones surround the center, it’s important to check for loose diamonds every so often.
This mainly depends on personal preference. However, certain shapes do work better for halo settings, such as oval, round, and cushion shapes, which are the most popular center stone shapes for halo rings.
The most obvious difference is that the small diamonds in a halo engagement ring are set around the center stone, forming one or more “halos.” A pavé engagement ring, on the other hand, involves tiny diamonds set into the band of the ring, without creating a surrounding “halo” effect around the main stone. Both designs can be separated or combined into one ring.
Not at all. Halo engagement rings remain a timeless and popular style. The circle of pavé diamonds around the center stone adds additional sparkle and makes the diamond appear larger—perfect for those who love a bold, elegant look. Whether you prefer a vintage-inspired design or something more modern, halo rings are a beautiful and enduring choice.
A halo engagement ring can be more expensive than a simple solitaire, but it offers excellent value. The tiny diamonds in the halo setting enhance the overall brilliance and visual size of the center diamond, often allowing you to choose a slightly smaller center stone without sacrificing impact. Pricing depends on the metal, total carat weight, and design, but halo rings remain a great choice for sparkle and presence without a huge jump in cost.
