Are halo engagement rings high maintenance?

THE ANSWER

Yes, more than a solitaire. But not by much. A halo engagement ring has 30 to 50 small accent diamonds set close together. Tiny gaps between them trap soap, hand cream, and skin oils, which is what makes the ring look dull. The fix is one minute a week with a soft toothbrush, warm water, and a drop of dish soap. Brush gently from underneath, rinse, pat dry. Two habits speed up wear. First, sleeping in the ring drags accent prongs against fabric and loosens stones. Second, gardening or cleaning without taking it off lets grit work into the gaps. Beyond that, book a free check-and-clean with your jeweller every 6 to 12 months so any loose prongs get tightened before a stone is lost.
