Fine jewelry is all about sparkle and shine. You’re not spending your hard-earned money so your jewelry doesn’t get noticed, right? For those that desire a look of ultimate brilliance and sparkle, we think we know the perfect style of ring for you. Say hello to halo designs!

Halo designs are nothing new; they’ve actually been a very popular setting for engagement rings throughout the past few years. And their popularity only continues to rise. But what makes halo designs so desirable?

Here’s the thing:

We’re going to let you in on a little secret. Halo settings actually have the ability of making the center stone of your ring appear larger than it actually is! This means you can purchase a smaller diamond or other gemstone center stone- hello happy wallet- and still receive a reasonably sized ring. Not only can halo designs help you save money, they are also very versatile. From charming and contemporary to ornate and vintage, you have an infinite amount of options! Let’s take a look at 6 of our most dazzling halo design engagement rings (or right-hand rings) to see just why this style is so captivating.

Hearts On Fire® Liliana Halo Engagement Ring

Topping our list is none other than an incredible Hearts On Fire® masterpiece. Hearts On Fire® diamonds are the world’s most perfectly cut diamonds. The world’s most perfect diamond deserves an amazing halo, right? This halo design certainly delivers. Floral halo designs are very popular, and the one on this exquisite ring is nothing short of eye-catching.

Beverley K Diamond & Blue Sapphire Halo Design

Next to diamonds, sapphires are the most popular gemstone for rings. And the combination of diamonds and sapphires is very trendy! The halo designs of this ring will give you a somewhat beachy feel. The way the French cut sapphires in the first halo seem to fold into the ripples of the second diamond halo is truly mesmerizing. For anyone looking for a unique engagement ring in San Diego, this ring is perfect! But it could also be a right-hand ring, too!

Vintage Cognac Diamond Engagement Ring

This sparkling sensation is proof that halo designs can work with any shaped gemstone. An intricate halo of pavé diamonds surrounds this gorgeous cognac colored diamond. The octagonal shape of the halo embraces the emerald-cut diamond and helps accentuate its size. You also see an even deeper “hall of mirrors” effect, making it seem like this diamond has no end.

Vintage Neil Lane Halo Engagement Ring

Are you looking for a ring with halo designs that create maximum brilliance and fire? Check out this beauty! The interplay of round and square shapes makes for a really spectacular look. French pavé diamond accents around the band add a dazzling look of continuous sparkle. And a diamond encrusted gallery adds the perfect finishing touch. This halo ring is sure to shine from every angle.

Opal & Diamond Double Halo Ring

Unfortunately, opals don’t make the best center stone for engagement rings since they’re so delicate, but there is no refuting the beauty of this ring. The creamy pastels of the opal are subtle, yet striking. And the halo is absolutely magnificent! The claw prongs blend in with the double halo designs of this ring, creating a sunburst-like appearance. If any ring could be described as magical, it’s this one. Break this baby out on special occasions and it’s sure to catch everyone’s attention.

Vintage Diamond Halo Engagement Ring

Halo designs on a three stone ring? Did your jaw just hit the floor? That’s okay, ours did too when we first saw this vintage engagement ring. The whopping 2.04 carat radiant-cut center stone draws all the attention while the step-cut diamonds make the perfect side stones. You might think the combination of halo designs on a three stone ring, a radiant-cut center stone, step-cut side stones, and round brilliant-cut accents is too much detail for one ring, but this stunner executes it flawlessly. And the sentiment behind three stone rings makes this engagement ring extra special.
