Halo Engagement Rings

Halo engagement rings ring the centre stone with a circle of small diamonds, which makes the centre look larger and adds a lot of sparkle for the size of the stone. If you are looking at halo styles, you probably want presence on the hand without moving to a much bigger centre diamond.

• More size for the budget: The halo lifts the apparent size of the centre stone, so a halo ring reads larger than a plain solitaire with the same centre diamond.
• Strong shape pairings: If you already know the silhouette, compare oval halo engagement rings rather than staying on the broader style page.
• A quieter option: If you like the extra sparkle but want a clean look from above, compare hidden halo engagement rings.
• Works across stone types: Narrow by material into lab grown diamond halo rings or moissanite halo rings.

Compare the outline of the halo and the detail on the band. For a cushion centre, Samara has a plain band and Camila adds a pavé band. View our cushion cut halo engagement rings to compare both designs.

• Start with the centre stone shape: A round or oval centre is the most common, and the halo follows the outline of whichever shape you choose.
• Decide the halo proportion: A tight halo of small diamonds looks subtle, while a wider halo adds more size and a more detailed look.
• Think about the wedding band: A halo sits close to the band, so it is worth checking how a wedding ring will sit alongside it before you settle the design.
• Read the background first: For how halo size and diamond scale change the look on the hand, read the halo ring guide, then use this page to compare rings.
