Orlando Bloom’s Engagement Ring Choice

When Orlando Bloom was selecting an engagement ring with which to propose to Katy Perry we can all be sure of one thing. He was looking for a unique and special ring for the wearer is a magnificently unique and special person. Undoubtedly he found a suitable stone and gorgeous design to match. Katy Perry after all is not one that is known for having a blase or simple style. She is always pushing the edges of possibility and bringing her strongly positive, colorful, and enthusiastic fashion sense to the forefront of her art. Whether she is performing at the Super Bowl or a show around the world she never fails to bring excitement and a blast of color. That is why an engagement ring with a colorful stone is such a great idea for her. Additionally, nothing says grand gesture like a large diamond halo engagement ring, does it?

The diamond halo is an increasingly popular feature for engagement rings. The additional accent diamonds are generally medium to small in size and wrap around the centre stone. These added diamonds not only increase the sparkle and emphasize the centre stone they also add intricate patterns to the ring. Even with a minimal smooth polished metal band a diamond halo makes a ring much more detailed. Further there are rings that feature diamond halos in different cuts. Such as emerald or baguette cut diamonds. All of these are unique features that enhance a rings size, brightness and value. They also allow for some flair that sets these engagement rings apart from the traditional styles  It is unique and is also a chance to add some color to your engagement ring. While Katy Perry’s ring features a colorful centre stone there is no reason why you cannot have a colorful halo.

LIGHT YELLOW MARQUISE CUT DIAMOND PLATINUM RUBY ENGAGEMENT RING

First of the engagement rings similar to the one Orlando Bloom proposed to Katy Perry with is this incredible light yellow marquise cut diamond ring. This spectacularly unique ring is made in platinum and features a truly colorful halo. With 0.83 carats of faceted rubies surrounding the unique Marquise cut diamond this is a halo unlike any other. The contrast between the light yellow fancy diamond and the red of the rubies is a gorgeous combination undoubtedly. Further, at each end of the diamond there is a special triple design very vintage inspired. From the Belle Epoque or even closer to us inspired by the Art Nouveau movement one thing is for sure this is not your standard halo. Additionally there are accent diamonds on the band leading away from the centre of the ring. These feature approximately 0.06 carats of brilliant white round cut diamonds for sparkle.

The platinum itself is not only an extremely durable material for an engagement ring it is also shaped beautifully. There is two gorgeous sets of french beading on the ring separating the inner and outer shanks of the top of the ring. First around the light yellow diamond stone. Then around the halo of rubies. For a little secret detail this ring also has a lovely romantic scrolling platinum design on the back of the ring where it comes in contact with your finger.

This ring has a lot of natural movement in its design and an amazing amount of texture. It is a stunning ring and vintage inspired just like the actor’s choice.  The centre cushion cut ruby is a large stone in a four edge setting. It is significantly raised from your finger when worn, while the accent diamonds fan out away from the ruby. It’s a stunning ring.

The rows of baguette or emerald cut diamonds sit in a fan like design. They lead away from the centre stone at the top and bottom. Flanking the central ruby the round cut diamonds cluster between your fingers. It is an extremely comfortable wear. Although it is a bit heavy with this many stones. The offset ruby setting makes it shine among a bed of diamonds.

These rubies are 0.74 carats and are all faceted. Further the ring has accent diamonds. These brilliant white round cut diamonds are smaller than the rubies. They run along the platinum band of the ring. Leading away from the center stone. Additionally the accent diamonds are around the edge of the ring. All along the ruby halo on the outer edge there are diamonds glistening. This fine detail not only adds sparkle but texture. It is a hidden treasure.

You can see from the outer edge there is also French beading. This spectacular detail surrounds the halo and the diamond centre stone. It is a delicate addition that brings attention to the stones. Further the back of this ring is also detailed. Behind the stones there is a wonderful scrolling design. It is another hidden treasure. This cushion cut ring sits snugly against your finger.
