Halo Engagement Rings

Halo engagement rings exude a radiant aura, encircling center stones with a brilliant array of diamonds that elevate their sparkle and charm. Originating in the Georgian era (1714-1837) and flourishing during the Victorian era (1837-1901), these rings continue to captivate today with their luxurious designs, ranging from classic round halos to bold, intricate settings adorned with larger diamonds.


Each halo engagement ring setting is uniquely crafted, ensuring an unmistakably glamorous choice whether set with a traditional round diamond or a distinctive shape for an unparalleled look of sophistication and beauty.

Halo Engagement Rings FAQs

A halo ring is a style of engagement ring where a central diamond is surrounded by a circle or "halo" of smaller diamonds, enhancing the overall appearance and brilliance of the ring. The surrounding smaller diamonds create an optical illusion that makes the central gemstone appear larger and more dazzling.

When it comes to choosing the diamond shape for a halo engagement ring, it ultimately comes down to personal preference. However, some shapes are more popular than others because they complement the halo setting better. Here are some popular diamond shapes for halo engagement rings:

  • Cushion: The cushion shape offers a classic and romantic look with its rounded corners and larger facets that enhance brilliance.
  • Pear: Pear-shaped diamonds are elegant and create a slenderizing effect, complemented by the halo's framing.
  • Oval: Oval diamonds provide a timeless appeal with their elongated shape, maximizing sparkle within the halo setting.

Halo rings are popular because they enhance the appearance of the center diamond, making it appear larger and more brilliant due to the surrounding smaller diamonds. Additionally, the halo setting adds sparkle and creates a glamorous and luxurious look, appealing to those seeking a ring with enhanced brilliance and a distinctive style.

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. We mainly offer white gold and yellow gold engagement rings.

  • White Gold: White gold complements the brilliance of diamonds by providing a sleek, modern appearance that enhances the sparkle of the stones. It is also versatile and pairs well with various diamond shapes and settings.
  • Yellow Gold: Yellow gold, on the other hand, offers a warm and classic look that can complement vintage-inspired designs or warmer-toned diamonds. It provides a rich contrast against the diamonds in the halo, giving the ring a traditional and elegant appeal.

A double halo ring features a central diamond surrounded by two concentric circles of smaller diamonds, creating a lavish and dazzling appearance that enhances the brilliance and perceived size of the central stone.

When choosing a halo engagement ring, consider the following factors:

  • Diamond Shape: Choose a shape that complements your style and preferences, such as cushion, pear, or oval.
  • Halo Design: Decide on the type of halo (single or double) and its size relative to the center diamond for the desired effect.
  • Budget: Set a budget that aligns with your financial considerations and look for options that offer the best value within that range.
  • Setting Style: Consider the overall style of the engagement ring, whether it is luxurious or simple, and the type of band setting, such as a three-stone or Pavé setting.
  • Center Diamond Size: The size of the central diamond is crucial for a halo engagement ring. Consider your budget and personal preferences when choosing a size that satisfies your expectations.

The average carat size for a halo engagement ring typically refers to the size of the central diamond. For a substantial appearance, I recommend considering diamonds of 1 carat or larger. Clients with higher budgets might consider options around 1.5 carat or even 2 carats for a more luxurious look. For those with smaller budgets, a central diamond around 0.5 carats can still create a stunning halo ring without compromising on quality or elegance.
