Halo Engagement Rings Brisbane

Yes of course! Coloured stones can create a stunning and unique halo design. When selecting coloured stones for your halo, we consider factors like durability, colour matching with your center stone, and how the colours complement each other. Our design team can help you choose stones that not only look beautiful but will also stand up to daily wear.

Yes, our team can definitely work with you to come up with your dream double halo ring. A double halo features two concentric rings of smaller stones surrounding your center stone, creating an incredibly brilliant and dramatic effect. This design makes your center stone appear significantly larger and adds exceptional sparkle from every angle. Double halos work particularly well with round, oval, and cushion-cut center stones. We can customise the size and style of each halo ring, use different stone types or sizes in each ring, or even incorporate coloured stones in one or both halos for a truly personalised design.

Not necessarily. For example, you could have a round stone in a cushion shaped halo. This creative approach to mixing shapes can create beautiful visual contrast and unique character in your ring. Popular combinations include oval centers with round halos, emerald cuts with cushion halos, or pear-shaped stones with round halos. The key is ensuring the proportions work harmoniously together. Our designers will help you visualise different shape combinations and ensure the final design is both structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing, creating a one-of-a-kind piece that perfectly reflects your personal style.

A halo is a style of setting often seen on engagement rings where a centre stone, whether that be a diamond or a sapphire, is surrounded by smaller stones, often round diamonds. This gives the illusion of a bigger centre stone, especially when colourless stones such as diamonds are used in a white metal like white gold or platinum.

Absolutely! Halo engagement rings have been around since the early 1900s, when Edwardian and Art Deco styles were at their height. A scalloped halo, a halo with larger stones, or angular cuts such as baguette diamonds often lean into the vintage look. The halo is a classic design that doesn’t go out of style; more modern styles that have smaller stones, different setting styles, and different shapes are popular today.

We often design our halo engagement rings with our clients, as some clients enjoy having a plain and simple band to pair with it, while others wish to design something truly complementary to continue that feel of the halo into future rings. We work with you during your appointment to come up with the perfect fit.

Our halo rings are crafted in such a way that they’ll still fit a classic straight wedding ring against them. Some clients wish to have something more fitted, though, which is where contour bands come into play, as they tend to fit nicely against the engagement ring without losing anything under the halo. At Diamondport, we can work with you to come up with your dream wedding or eternity ring to suit your halo engagement ring, whether it was crafted by us or by another jeweller.

Having a hidden halo in your solitaire engagement ring makes the piece more individualised to you – it’s like having a tattoo that no one sees – you know that the extra sparkle is there, and you can choose to share your ring’s secret with whom you choose. It also ensures you’re keeping the main stone front and centre.

The total carat weight of a halo ring depends on the shape and size of the centre stone, and how large the halo stones are. A larger stone will require more small diamonds to encircle it, leading to a higher total carat weight, as will larger stones in the halo.

Yes, if looked after, a halo ring is suitable for everyday wear. It’s important that the main stone and halo stones are set in a way that keeps them protected and that overall the ring contains enough metal to be strong. Quality manufacturing also plays a role, and we are proud at Diamondport to only use premium materials. It’s also important to service your halo ring annually, keep it clean, and avoid activities that are harsh on jewellery, such as housework, gym, and swimming.
