What does a halo engagement ring mean?

Halo engagement rings have quickly become a mainstay in bridal jewellery, captivating hearts with their stunning brilliance and timeless elegance. These captivating rings feature a central stone such as a diamond or gemstone set into an eye-catching setting surrounded by smaller stones in an outer "halo," adding both grandeur and numerous benefits for modern couples who choose this choice of engagement rings. But, What does a halo engagement ring mean?

Understanding the Halo: Design Elements

Halo engagement rings have an intricate design, making them charming pieces to consider for engagements or wedding bands alike. Here's a closer look at its key features.

Center Stone

At EX3Diamonds, we believe that your centre stone should be the star of the show - be it a diamond, sapphire or even mesmerizing emerald! Check out a wide range of cuts at EX3Diamonds from classic round brilliants to timeless elegance like our Certified 5.86Ct Elongated Cushion Diamond Side Halo Engagement Ring Gold.

Halo

Surrounding a centre stone with the namesake "halo", which consists of small diamonds or gemstones closely set together in an annulus shape creates a shimmering frame to draw the eye toward and enhance its beauty. EX3Diamonds provides various styles of halos - pave-set stones for maximum sparkle or micro-pave for an ultra-detailed appearance - offering plenty of ways to complement their centre stones beautifully.

Setting Styles

Halo and centre stone settings must complement their overall design to secure them in their position. Popular choices for prong settings provide secure yet classic looks while bezel settings add extra protection for the center stone.

Both the centre stone and halo can come in various shapes to reflect your style, from round or cushion cuts for the centre stone, while you have many different halo options including round, square or even floral patterns for your ring design.

Why Opt For a Halo Engagement Ring?

Apart from their exceptional beauty, halo engagement rings offer several practical benefits as well. These advantages include:

An Optic Illusion for Less

Halos create an optical illusion by making the centre stone appear larger than it is, providing stunning looks without breaking the bank for larger stones. EX3Diamonds offers many halo rings which create this effect; such as our certified 2.58Ct Round Diamond Engagement Ring Pave Yellow Gold.

Extra Sparkle

The additional stones in a halo add extra brilliance and fire to any ring, creating an eye-catching play of light across its entirety, giving off extra shimmer at every angle.

Versatility and Customization

Halo rings offer both versatility and customization options, adding personality and colour. You can add gems of any shape or size for further personalization and colour enhancement.

Protection

A halo can add extra protection for the centre stone against everyday wear and tear, providing some peace of mind as a form of precaution.

Meaning Behind the Name: An Emblematic Appeal

The term halo derives its inspiration from the natural phenomena of luminous rings surrounding the sun or moon that can sometimes appear around its centre, symbolizing light purity divinity - qualities which perfectly compliment engagement rings' significance as symbols of everlasting love and commitment infused with celestial magic. By selecting an engagement ring featuring this element amidst celestial imagery you are making an important choice!
