WHEN DID HALO ENGAGEMENT RINGS BECOME POPULAR?

THE ANSWER

The design dates back to the Georgian era. 1700s. Saw a major boom in the Art Deco period of the 1920s. Geometric halos. But the modern halo craze exploded mid-2000s. Around 2005–2010, the style became the dominant trend in bridal jewellery. Celebrity engagements fuelled it. So did the desire for vintage-inspired looks that maximised carat weight. For nearly a decade, the cushion-cut diamond with micropavé halo was quintessential. The frenzy has settled slightly in favour of ovals and solitaires in the 2020s. But the halo remains a standard, classic category. Widely available in every jewellery store.
