Tips For Buying A Halo Engagement Ring
When choosing your halo ring, there are a lot of factors to consider. Whether it’s deciding between yellow, white, or rose gold, choosing a setting, or even just confirming your choice of diamond cut, there are a lot of decisions you will have to make. Here are some of the details for you to iron out.
Pavé or Non-Pavé? — One of the main decisions you’ll have to make is whether you want the small diamonds on your halo ring to encircle only the center diamond or to encircle the band as well—the pavé style. If you think your lady will want a minimalist look for her diamond engagement ring, forget the pavé. If she’s interested in more glimmer, pavé is the way to go.
Center Stage — Because of the way the smaller diamonds encircle the larger diamond, halo diamond engagement rings make the center stone look huge. And, because you’re adding a lot of smaller diamonds, you’re increasing the ring’s carat weight without significantly raising the overall price; smaller diamonds are far less expensive than a single diamond of the same weight.
Shine On, Pretty Diamond — If you have a less-than-sparkling diamond, or if you have a flawless diamond that you want to highlight, a halo ring setting will up the glitter factor. Regardless of stone quality, adding tiny, light-catching diamonds will definitely make your love shine even more.
To Trend Or Not To Trend — The halo ring is one of the most popular diamond ring settings in existence right now. While they are a trend, this trend is becoming a movement that won’t stop being gorgeous in a decade. Your loved one will always have a fond memory of the era in which the love of her life proposed.
History of Halo Engagement Rings
Though a similar-looking type of ring was seen in the Georgian period (1700s - early 1800s), halo engagement rings became popular in the Victorian era (early 1800s - 1901). During that period, artisans crafted these rings to look like flowers, using colorful gems as the center stones. In the Art Deco period of the 1920s, these sparklers really took off and began to look like the halo diamond engagement rings we see today. Due to the era’s fascination with symmetry, the clean geometric shapes of the halo diamond engagement ring fit right in. Since then, the setting has fallen in and out of fashion, coming back in the Hollywood Glamour era, then the 1960s. Today, halo diamond engagement rings are all the rage again—and the perfect way to celebrate your love in style.
