How Halo-Style Diamond Engagement Rings Create More Brilliance
How Halo-Style Diamond Engagement Rings Create More Brilliance
A halo-style engagement ring surrounds the center diamond with a border of smaller diamonds. This frame can make the center stone appear larger, add sparkle from more angles, and emphasize the diamond’s shape.
Custom by Z at N.J. Diamonds creates halo settings for oval, emerald-cut, marquise, and other center stones. Each design is planned around the diamond’s proportions, the wearer’s style, and the amount of brilliance or contrast they want.
Choosing a Halo Setting
- More visual impact: Smaller surrounding diamonds can make the center stone look more prominent.
- Flexible styling: Halos can look classic, vintage-inspired, or modern depending on the shape and metal.
- Shape definition: A carefully designed halo highlights the outline of oval, emerald-cut, marquise, and other diamonds.
