Diamond rings featuring halos give the centre stone a larger appearance. This is a great way to add sparkle when choosing a larger diamond is not a viable option. This style of engagement ring looks beautiful with any number of diamond or gemstone shapes for the central stone, including, oval, emerald and pear cuts. There are also ‘double halo’ engagement rings, which feature two ‘borders’ of small stones for maximum impact, which work great with oval cut, cushion and pear.

Round diamonds will look bigger in a halo, and at the same time some of the sparkle will be lost, so worth looking at before you commit to the design.
