To Halo or not to Halo? That is the Question!

Just like peanut butter and jelly or biscuits and gravy, beauty and style just go hand in hand. Whether it be to the post office or a black-tie event, you wear your engagement ring every single day with every single outfit. It’s important that the design of your engagement ring reflects your beauty and style but there are so many different styles when it comes to engagement rings. It can be a difficult decision! Do you need a bold or hidden halo around that brilliant cut? Do you need a halo at all?  To halo or not to halo? That is the question!  

If you are looking for the most bang for your buck, a classic halo truly gives the illusion of a larger center stone. A classic halo is comprised of noticeably-sized diamonds framing the center stone, adding more sparkle and shine.

If you like a more simplistic look with a conservative amount of detail then all you may need is a hidden halo.  With a hidden halo, the surrounding diamonds peek out from around the main diamond, giving it a delicate look instead of a heavy one. Many people who like solitaires also like the hidden halo look because it doesn’t distract from the center stone.

How about a vintage halo? In a vintage halo, a vine-like design edged with millegrain engraving encircles the main stone, giving the entire ring an antique look. Double halos are a smart option for those who are looking for maximum flash without spending a fortune. Halos are not just for round or oval diamonds.  We fashion them to enhance cushion cuts, emerald cuts, whatever shape you desire. There are so many choices! 

At Green Hills Diamond Brokers, we carry a large selection of diamonds and engagement rings, however, our clients still pick the round brilliant as the most popular shape for center stones with the oval coming in second place. Our clients are picking and choosing from the best GIA certified diamonds and making it into something that reflects their own beauty and style. They often have their mounting custom made by us to suit what they have been dreaming of which now includes plenty of yellow gold and rose gold. They are not tied down to the showcases or someone else’s taste, and we are more than happy to accommodate them.  We have in-house designers, custom jewelers, and plenty of diamonds and gems to create your perfect ring for the perfect price.
