What is the purpose of a halo ring?

THE ANSWER

To make the centre diamond look bigger and brighter. That is the main purpose. The ring of small diamonds around the centre stone creates an optical illusion. It extends the sparkle outward. A 1 carat diamond in a halo looks like a 1.5 carat stone to the untrained eye. The halo also adds protection. The small outer diamonds absorb knocks that might otherwise hit the centre stone directly. And it adds value. You get far more total sparkle from a halo than from a single stone of the same total cost. The purpose is impact. Maximum visual punch.
