Halo engagement rings featuring halos of diamonds or other gemstones encircling a center gem were designed at least as early as the Victorian era and were popular in the Art Deco and Retro eras as well. Halo diamond rings highlight the center gemstone by surrounding it with diamonds, often making the center gem appear larger. Many are drawn to their beautiful symmetry and versatility. Halo engagement ring setting designs range from streamlined and modern to vintage and ornate. Double halo diamond rings make an even more glamorous look. Because of their romantic look, halo engagement rings in rose gold are becoming a sought after style.
What is a halo engagement ring setting? Halo settings feature a center gemstone completely encircled by smaller accent diamonds for a dazzling look. Halo designs featuring traditional round and cushion shaped diamonds are especially sought after, perhaps because of their romantic vintage-inspired look, or because of the way a halo of accent diamonds makes a center diamond appear larger. Couples are also increasingly drawn to halos around compass point settings, double halos, and halos with floral details.
