Halo Engagement Rings: Five Trendy Yet Timeless Styles 

1 Carat Princess-Cut Halo Diamond Engagement RingSome have raised the question, “Are halo engagement rings just a passing trend?” The answer is a resounding “NO!” While halo styles are particularly popular at present, they’re far more than a fleeting fad!

Halo rings surround a center gem with a frame of smaller stones that seem to magnify the dazzle of the center gem—a sparkle-boosting strategy that’s proven its staying power. This look first came into vogue during the Art Deco Period, in the 1920s, and its popularity spiked once more in the 1960s. It’s trending once again in the present, but it never actually went out of fashion—it’s been a tasteful pick for nearly a century! Even the Duchess of Cambridge, who’s known for her impeccable style, wears a sapphire and diamond halo ring on her left hand.

A two-carat black diamond, 8mm across, instantly draws the eye, and it’s made even more head-turning by the 0.43 carats of white diamonds that contrast it. These colorless glittering channel-set stones offset this style’s dark centerpiece as they surround the center stone and glitter from their places in the shining 14K white gold band.
