What are diamond halo earrings?

If you took a pair of diamond solitaire studs and wrapped a border of smaller diamonds around the outside, you’d have yourself a pair of classic diamond halo studs.

The halo can take the same shape as the centre diamond (a round halo encasing a round diamond - first image below), or a contrasting shape (a square halo surrounding a round diamond - second image below).

Single VS. Double Halo Diamond Earrings

When comparing single halo earrings with double halo earrings of equal centre diamond carat weight, the single halos will be more affordable, due to the fewer number of diamonds required to form a single loop.

Double halo diamond earrings cover more of the lobe and create a striking display of sparkle often worn as wedding jewellery due to their size and brightness, which can be easily seen from a distance, and in the photographs of your special day.

Does a halo make a diamond look bigger?

There is a common belief that adding halos to diamond earrings can make the centre stones appear bigger than they are. Truth be told, it actually can!

Halos are capable of optically widening the perceived size of the feature diamonds by up to 2mm, meaning 1-carat diamond earrings with halos can seem as big as 2 carats per side.

Reducing the number of prongs on your halo studs can also optically enhance the size of the centre diamonds, with less of their surface area covered by metal claws.

How to Style Halo Earrings

The secret to effectively styling halo earrings with other diamond jewellery is choosing consistent shapes. If you have a square halo engagement ring, for example, choose similarly square halo earrings of the same metal colour for a cohesive feel, complete with a minimalistic solitaire diamond pendant or classic diamond tennis bracelet.
