With its angelic look, it’s easy to see why the halo setting is one of the most sought-after engagement ring styles. Classic yet glamorous, it flatters anyone who wears it.
Halo engagement rings are versatile and easily customisable, perfect for the bride who wants to add a personal touch to their jewelry.

The halo setting features a central diamond encircled by smaller, typically pavé or micro pavé set accent diamonds. With all the smaller diamonds, it adds a stunning flashing look that draws attention to the centre diamond.
The setting can be the same shape as the centre stone or a different one entirely like a cushion cut halo around a round diamond. However, symmetry is often the best option.
Halo settings can easily be personalised with different diamond shapes, metals, and setting styles for the accent diamonds.

An advantage of this setting is that it makes the centre diamond appear larger. It’s dazzling setting also helps enhance the appearance of a slightly flawed centre diamond.
The halo also helps hide the prongs that hold the centre stone in place, which is a plus for those that don’t like the look of prongs.
Another benefit is that the smaller pavé diamonds are often less expensive than purchasing one diamond of the same weight.

On the other hand, however, wedding bands only work with some halo setting engagement rings so you will have to plan ahead. You would ideally need to have your wedding band made to fit around or under the engagement ring, otherwise, you run the risk of them rubbing against one another and wearing away over time.
