Characteristics of Halo Engagement Rings
Halo engagement rings are the kind of ring where a center stone is surrounded by a circle of metal and studded with smaller stones. This style comes with a few elegant benefits. The most apparent is the fact that a halo creates the illusion of a center stone being significantly bigger than it actually is. If you’ve a smaller-carat diamond, halos make them look even bigger—each halo adds a “carat” to the size of a stone. Also, halos are a vintage look that expresses the boldness of the Art Deco period in modern styles. If you’re a lover of halo engagement rings, you’ll find a lot to love in the collections offered by Smyth Jewelers.
Popular Halo Engagement Ring Collections at Smyth Jewelers
The Tacori RoyalT collection is a glorious example of halo engagement rings. Made to hold diamond that are at least 2 carats, these engagement rings include halos sculpted from baguette-cut diamonds and platinum “frames” held in place by pave-studded joints. The effect is that RoyalT rings are extraordinarily elegant, their boisterous sense of beauty paired with a craftsman’s eye for quality. Alternatively, if you’re a lover of color, there’s no reason to think halos can’t accentuate a colored gemstone. The Vintage Explorer collection from Simon G. boasts blue tourmalines and emeralds surrounded by glorious halos. Many of these halos are floral-inspired, utilizing different cuts of diamonds to create the appearance of pure color blossoming from one’s finger.
The Jack Kelege collection of engagement rings really embraces the vintage elegance of a halo. Features like bezel settings, milgrain beading, organic halos, and an embrace of the rose gold that typified the 19th and early 20th centuries can be found in Jack Kelege rings. Also, here at Smyth Jewelers, we carry halo engagement rings from Simon G, whose unique designs come to their culmination in the Mosaic collection. Each of the engagement rings from this collection feature several diamonds fitted together like a sparkling jigsaw puzzle; this arrangement of center “stones” results in a mosaic-like pattern that gives this collection its name.
