Halo rings have negative notoriety among some, who believe they are only a fleeting trend. Considered the ‘marmite’ of the engagement ring market, love or hate, there has always been a definite camp for those who adore the halo style and those who despise it. However, the round halo engagement ring at Daniel William Diamonds defies these critics by growing in popularity year after year. The halo ‘trend’ refuses to die, and its popularity continues to rise. It’s not a marquise but it’s a fashion that has since become antiquated. Halo has already shown its popularity, and it isn’t going away anytime soon.
There are people who dismiss the halo design as ‘tacky.’ It may be bright and dazzling but we would never dismiss the design. The halo ring is a firm and constant challenger in the field of engagement rings. It’s eye-catching and striking, a classic style that has been around for ages. But do you know what the term ‘halo engagement ring’ means? The concealed halo is a new spin on a classic design that’s become increasingly popular. Here’s all you need to know about this hot new trend and why you should jump on board.
1. A halo around your center stone might make it appear larger
Our exquisite collection includes a 14k white gold halo engagement ring. Click here and check the compelling design. Also known as an under halo setting, it’s a new and novel take on the classic halo design. A halo setting is one in which the halo sits below the center stone hidden. It serves as a base for the diamond, rather than framing it.
The halo may not be visible from a birds-eye view. However, it stands out and highlights the valuable center stone from any other angle. The central stone might appear up to 15% larger thanks to the halo setting. It provides the diamond with a platform constructed of even more diamonds, allowing it to shine brightly.
2. Halo can be used with any diamond shape
The concealed halo setting, unlike certain other types of settings, works with any diamond shape. In reality, its rising popularity is due to its capacity to make any diamond shine, regardless of shape – oval, radiant, round, pear, and so on. This arrangement also leaves room for diamonds to be added to the band without crowding the central stone.
3. Combine metals with a halo effect
Have you ever wanted to mix metals in an engagement ring set but weren’t sure how? The ring’s halo setting allows for a variety of metal combinations without dominating the design. To support the halo, imagine a white gold solitaire band with a yellow gold setting. When it comes to creating and purchasing her fantasy engagement ring, having a variety of options is crucial to a successful purchase and a happy bride-to-be.
4. Cost of Halo Engagement Rings
There isn’t much of a difference in pricing between a halo and a hidden halo setting. Because it is positioned below the center stone and does not frame the entire diamond, the concealed halo setting may not require as many diamonds, although they are often priced equally. The question ‘Should I obtain a halo or hidden halo setting?’ has no right or wrong answer. The buyer has complete control.
