What Is a Halo Engagement Ring?

A halo engagement ring features a center diamond or gemstone surrounded by smaller accent stones that form a decorative frame. The surrounding diamonds can follow the center stone's outline or create a different shape, making the overall setting appear wider and more detailed.

Single Halo Engagement Rings

A single halo engagement ring features one row of accent diamonds around the center stone. The surrounding stones can be closely spaced for a continuous diamond border or individually defined for a more detailed outline.

Double Halo Engagement Rings

Double halo engagement rings feature two rows of surrounding diamonds, creating a wider frame around the center stone. The rows can use matching diamond sizes or different proportions to create a layered appearance.

Multi-Row Halo Engagement Rings

Multi-row halo engagement rings use three or more rows of accent diamonds to create a larger face-up arrangement. Different diamond sizes and row widths can be combined to develop broader, more elaborate halo designs.

Cluster Halo Engagement Rings

Cluster halo engagement rings arrange diamonds of different sizes or shapes around the center stone. Round, pear, marquise, and other accent diamonds can form floral outlines, scalloped edges, or irregular diamond borders.

Hidden Halo Engagement Rings

A hidden halo engagement ring places smaller accent diamonds beneath the center stone, adding detail around the setting that is primarily visible from the side.

Halo Engagement Rings by Center Diamond Shape

The center stone's outline influences the halo's proportions and the arrangement of surrounding diamonds.

• Round Halo Engagement Rings: Circular center diamonds surrounded by round accent stones or decorative scalloped borders.
• Oval Halo Engagement Rings: Elongated center diamonds with halos that follow the oval outline or introduce a wider surrounding frame.
• Pear Halo Engagement Rings: Teardrop-shaped center diamonds with accent stones arranged around the rounded end and pointed tip.
• Cushion Halo Engagement Rings: Square or elongated cushion diamonds paired with rounded-square or contrasting halo outlines.
• Emerald Cut Halo Engagement Rings: Rectangular step-cut center diamonds framed by straight-edged, clipped-corner, or geometric diamond borders.
• Fancy Cut Halo Engagement Rings: Marquise, Asscher, radiant, and specialty-cut diamonds combined with halo arrangements adapted to their individual outlines.

Halo Engagement Rings With Colored Diamond Accents

Colored diamond halo engagement rings introduce contrast between the center stone and the surrounding diamond border.

Pink, blue, yellow, and other fancy-colored lab grown diamonds can be arranged around a colorless center diamond. Alternatively, a colored center diamond can be framed by white accent stones to emphasize its outline.

The halo can also combine multiple accent colors, with the arrangement determining whether the surrounding diamonds form a uniform border or a contrasting pattern.

Halo Engagement Rings With Melee and Larger Accent Diamonds

The size of the surrounding diamonds changes the appearance of a halo engagement ring, from a fine diamond border to a more prominent arrangement of individual stones.

• Melee Diamond Halo: Small, closely set diamonds create a fine border around the center stone, with minimal spacing between the accents.
• Large Accent Diamond Halo: Larger surrounding diamonds remain individually visible, creating a more pronounced frame around the center stone.
