Halo Engagement Rings: A Trend with Timeless Appeal
If you’re looking for an engagement ring that’s both on-trend and timelessly glamorous, a halo style just might signal the end to your search. Halo engagement rings are showing up on the fingers of celebrities and everyday Janes alike, and it’s not hard to see why these pieces are gaining fans: these rings seem to magnify the sparkle of a center stone by surrounding if with a frame of smaller gems.
Halos work well on styles both old and new, and the 1.31 Carat Antique Halo Engagement Ring in 14K Yellow Gold is a prime example of this design element’s ability to complement a style from the past. The warm shine of 14K yellow gold provides a sunny, gleaming foundation to this glittering style, while more than 80 diamonds provide an abundant measure of dazzle. Serving as the center stone is a round half carat diamond that’s surrounded by a circle of smaller stones. Even more diamonds adorn both the outer surface and the sides of the band to create a look that reflects light in all directions and is sure to catch eyes. Delicate beaded edges accent these stones while adding a sense of time-honored charm.
If you’d rather a diamond halo ring with a bit of modern appeal, try one that features a princess-cut diamond as the center stone. For instance, the 1 Carat Princess-Cut Halo Diamond Engagement Ring showcases a 0.75 carat princess-cut stone and surrounds it with a squared-off frame of smaller diamonds. Additional diamonds stud the slender band for a total of 39 glittering stones in all. Delicate milgrain edges offset these gems, adding a classy touch. This piece stands out among princess-cut diamond rings for its ability to magnify sparkle in contemporary yet trend-defying fashion. If you’re attracted to this modern-yet-timeless look, but would prefer a matching bridal ring set, a similar ring is available as half of the 1 Carat Princess-Cut Halo Diamond Bridal Ring Set, paired with a wedding band that’s accented with 23 diamonds.
White diamonds are far from your only options when you’re looking for that perfect halo engagement ring. For example, Apples of Gold’s collection of black diamond engagement rings contains the 1.31 Carat Black and White Diamond Antique Halo Engagement Ring, a striking piece that uses the contrast between dark, intriguing shine and colorless sparkle to create a look that’s overflowing with glamour. A half-carat black diamond, 5mm across, serves as the centerpiece of this ring as it’s framed by a circle of white diamonds. The meticulously-crafted band that holds it is adorned with diamonds on three sides, allowing this ring to glitter no matter how you look at it. If you’d rather a halo ring with a pop of color, this style is also available with several other gemstones in the place of the black diamond, including sapphire, ruby, emerald and aquamarine.
Yes, halo engagement rings are trendy, but they’re far more than just fads! These pieces are timeless ways to express your love, not to mention your impeccable sense of style.
