If you are looking at engagement rings you might be a little overwhelmed with all the different terms we use to describe ring styles and cuts of diamonds. Princess cut, Solitaire, Cluster, Pear Cut…. the list goes on. The halo design has recently become increasingly popular, so what is a halo engagement ring exactly?
Rising to prominence in the Art Deco era, the name "Halo" describes a ring or "halo" setting of smaller gemstones surrounding a larger centre feature stone. The halo of diamonds on an engagement ring enhance the 'wow' factor of a central gemstone for an eye-catching design.
There is a beauty in simplicity. What makes the halo engagement ring popular is a simple design with a clever design. In high quality halo rings, at the first look, all you see is sparkling diamonds. Then with a better look you start seeing the centre stone, but it still appears to be bigger than its actual size. It’s a perfect choice for diamond lovers. This design also covers more of the finger.
Some engagement ring designs are key styles, they might come in varieties and move with fashion but they are timeless. The Halo engagement ring is an example of a classic design that will never go out of style.
The Gerard McCabe Aura Halo ring is one of hidden depths. Our design director says about the Aura design. "You might think it’s just another halo ring, but the key to the Aura ring is the tiny millimetres of gold here and there that have been tweaked through our design process and through various sample ranges to obtain the perfect look. This ring has proven popular with our clients for years now and with lots of happy feedback we know the design is just right."
All Halo styles at Gerard McCabe are designed to fit perfectly with matching diamond wedding bands and eternity rings that enhance the masterpiece.
“Halo Engagement ring designs like Aura are effortless. It’s an eye catching style that retains a delicate low profile and is good value for money with a larger diamond presence. The arrangement of the diamonds gives such a sparkle from the ring.” - Rundle Mall Sales Team.
What the halo engagement ring design lends itself well to is a variety of diamond shapes. You don’t need to limit yourself to the round brilliant cut diamond to have the benefits of this choice of engagement ring, your creativity is the limit.
