DOES A HALO MAKE A DIAMOND MORE EXPENSIVE?

THE ANSWER

Two-fold answer. The halo setting itself costs more than a plain solitaire. More precious metal. More small diamonds. Significantly more labour to set those tiny stones. But buying a halo ring can save you money overall. The halo creates an optical illusion. It makes the centre diamond look up to 0.5 carats larger. You can buy a smaller, less expensive centre stone. Place it in a halo. Achieve the visual impact of a much larger diamond. The cost added by the setting is far less than jumping up a full carat size.
