Why Choose a Halo Engagement Ring?

We have all seen the same engagement rings, from traditional to solitaire styles being the most popular. However, many people haven't heard about halo-style engagement rings. The halo engagement ring style is unique and eye-catching with an impressive-looking centre stone size each time, making it an interesting choice for the perfect engagement ring.

Whether you want a traditional halo or a hidden halo, this engagement ring choice exudes timeless elegance with attention to detail. The halo of small diamonds which surrounds the centre stone in a traditional halo creates the illusion of a larger-looking centre diamond on your ring finger and provides additional sparkle. 

Whereas a hidden halo has the diamonds sitting on the side of the centre stones setting facing outwards. It means every time the wearer reaches for something and sees the side profile of the ring, they see the intricate detail and sparkle of the diamonds shining back at them.

Shining Diamonds’ informative guide covers why you should choose a halo diamond engagement ring.

Makes the Centre Stone Appear Larger

A halo engagement ring stands out from other styles from a distance as it can make the centre stone appear bigger. Choosing the right halo ring will add to the centre stone circumference and appear to increase the size of the diamond, which works well if you want a larger carat weight but are working within a certain budget. 

Halo Engagement Rings Will Never Go Out of Style

The beauty of a halo engagement ring is that it is timeless and won’t go out of style. The nobility have been wearing halo jewellery since the 18th century and many celebrities today have been engaged with a classic or hidden halo ring. Rita Ora, Carrie Underwood, Bella Thorne and Becky Hill are just a few well-known famous faces with halo engagement rings, but the list is endless. Consider proposing with a halo engagement band if you love vintage and antique jewellery styles and want a larger centre stone for the perfect engagement ring you want to create.

Works With Any Diamond Shape

Whether you want a simple round cut or a fancy pear or marquise diamond, a halo engagement ring is an option with any diamond shape. The smaller diamonds outside the centre stone will bring extra sparkle, sophistication and elegance to your engagement ring.

Creates an Intense, Lasting Sparkle

An added benefit of a halo engagement ring is it can enhance the ring’s sparkle and make it more eye-catching, with the right choice diamond in the centre executing fire and brilliance surrounded by higher-graded diamonds in the halo you will have a very impressive engagement ring to pop the question with.
