The Story Behind Halo Engagement Rings

When did the halo setting originate? It all started in the Art Deco era of the 1920s. This period is famous for its geometric shapes and forms—from architecture, design, and even engagement rings. A century since, the halo setting has the same regal look, now with a modern flair that women love and adore.

5 Things that Make a Halo Engagement Ring Special

1. Bigger-Looking Jewel

The brilliant row of gems surrounding the center stone makes it look up to 20% bigger. This results in a jaw-dropping ring to leave everyone—especially your future fiancée—with wonder and awe.

2. Brilliant Sparkle Through and Through

Aside from a bolder gemstone, a halo setting adds a much-loved brilliance to her engagement ring. Like a ring of sunshine, it bounces light off the center stone for a stunning piece she'll never want to take off.

3. Art Deco Elegance With a Contemporary Touch

The halo setting of the art deco era is now making a comeback—with a modern twist. The iteration displays a clean line of gems, usually paired with a cathedral for added elegance and style.

4. Secure Cradle To Your Center Stone

A halo setting is as practical as it is phenomenal. The way it surrounds the center stone creates a 360-degree barrier to protect it and its prongs from damage. Meanwhile, the cathedral keeps the Lab Diamond or Moissanite jewel safe and secure. 

5. Variety of Lab Diamond and Moissanite Cuts
