A halo engagement ring features a centre diamond encircled by a ring of smaller pavé-set diamonds, creating a radiant frame that enhances the overall brilliance and perceived size of the ring. This design has been a favourite since the Art Deco era and remains one of the most sought-after styles today. The halo can be crafted to complement virtually any centre stone shape.
What is the difference between a single halo and a double halo?
A single halo features one row of accent diamonds around the centre stone, offering a refined and elegant look. A double halo adds a second row of diamonds for even more sparkle and a more dramatic presence on the finger. Double halos are particularly effective at making smaller centre stones appear significantly larger.
Does a halo setting make a diamond look bigger?
Yes, a halo setting can make the centre diamond appear up to half a carat larger than it actually is, as the surrounding smaller diamonds blend visually with the centre stone. This makes halo rings an excellent choice if you want maximum visual impact within your budget. The effect is most pronounced with round and cushion-cut centre stones.
Are halo engagement rings difficult to maintain?
Halo rings require regular cleaning to keep the small accent diamonds sparkling, as dirt and oils can accumulate between the stones. We recommend gentle cleaning at home with warm soapy water and a soft brush, along with professional servicing every six months. With proper care, a well-crafted halo ring will maintain its brilliance for a lifetime.
Are halo engagement rings more expensive than solitaires?
Halo rings can actually offer better value than solitaires because the accent diamonds allow you to choose a slightly smaller centre stone while achieving a larger overall look. The additional cost of the halo diamonds is typically less than upgrading to a larger centre stone. Visit our Melbourne showroom for a free consultation to explore options that suit your budget.
