Halo Ring

With the halo ring, the stone setting is framed according to a certain style, in which the ring head is set with a larger main stone and smaller framing stones. In addition, the ring rail can be set with further gemstones. The halo ring is particularly popular as an engagement ring with set diamonds. The term halo refers to a light phenomenon in which rings of light can be seen around the sun or moon. In keeping with this, this ring style creates the illusion of a diamond surrounded by a halo, which makes it appear visually larger. Already in the 18th century, rings with smaller diamonds or even pearls were surrounded by others and made in the halo style. In the Victorian era, halo rings often resembled a flower. The surrounding set stones make the centre stone often appear larger, making the overall ring design look more opulent. Halo rings are often made of gold and feature several diamonds. However, there are also halo style rings made of silver with set zirconia stones. The stones usually have a brilliant or princess cut. In order to achieve the best possible appearance, the diamonds must be similar in colour and clarity. The many stones create a special sparkle in the halo ring that catches everyone's eye.
