A halo engagement ring is a style of ring featuring a centre gemstone, often a diamond, surrounded by a circle or "halo" of smaller diamonds or coloured gemstones. This halo design enhances the overall sparkle and brilliance of the ring, making the centre stone appear larger and even more striking.

What are the Benefits of Halo Engagement Rings?

One of the key benefits of halo engagement rings is the way they enhance the centre stone's appearance. The circle of smaller diamonds or gemstones surrounding the centre stone reflects light and creates additional sparkle, making the centre stone look larger and more brilliant. This can be especially appealing for those seeking affordable engagement rings - you can maximise the visual impact of your ring without increasing the size or cost of the centre stone.

Single Halo vs. Double Halo Engagement Rings

When choosing between a single halo and a double halo engagement ring, it comes down to the level of brilliance and design intricacy you desire. A single halo features one row of smaller diamonds encircling the centre stone, creating a classic, elegant look that enhances the stone’s size and sparkle without overwhelming the design.

In contrast, a double halo offers two layers of diamonds around the centre stone, providing even more sparkle and a bolder, more dramatic engagement ring. While both styles amplify the brilliance of the ring, a double halo adds a touch of grandeur and can make the centre stone appear significantly larger.

For those seeking an understated, timeless ring, the single halo is ideal, while the double halo is perfect for those looking for added glamour and brilliance.

The price difference between halo engagement rings and solitaire engagement rings depends on several factors. Although the smaller diamonds that form the halo contribute to the overall price, halo rings offer a cost-effective way to maximise the visual size and brilliance of the centre stone; this allows you to choose a slightly smaller, more affordable centre stone without sacrificing visual impact. The 4Cs of every diamond used will therefore collectively determine the cost of halo engagement rings.

Yes, halo engagement rings are a popular choice thanks to their generous proportions and ability to enhance the brilliance of the centre stone. The halo setting surrounding the centre gem adds extra sparkle and can make the centre stone appear larger. This makes it an attractive option for those seeking a more embellished, elaborate design. The versatility of halo engagement rings also contributes to their popularity, allowing couples to create truly unique engagement rings through countless combinations of diamond cuts, metal colours, and setting types.
