Halo vs. No Halo engagement rings

Which were your favorite halo engagement rings of 2016?
- Halo engagement rings make your center diamond look enormous. The halo of smaller diamonds can add major visual weight to your center stone, making it appear larger. So .25ctw of extra diamonds can make your center diamond look an entire carat larger.
- Because that extra carat weight is made up of several smaller diamonds, the price is much lower. A bunch of small diamonds costs much less than one single stone of equal carat weight. This is because larger diamonds are rarer and priced accordingly for their scarcity.
- Halo engagement rings are full on glam. Whether your halo is shared prong, pave or micropave, the extra round brilliants make your ring look like it’s glittering.
- Halo engagement rings are the biggest trend in bridal since the round brilliant diamond. This stunning style blends the modern techniques of skilled jewelers with a classic style of engagement ring (the first halos were antique bezel-set Old European or Old Mine cut diamonds!)
