Halo Rings

Vintage halo engagement rings consist of a halo of smaller diamonds surrounding the centre diamond. The vintage style is typically from the Art Deco period (1920-1940), although it is very popular in the modern era for many reasons. This diamond ring style has the effect of making a centre diamond look larger, with the halo made up of smaller diamonds blended into the centre diamond, creating the illusion of a larger centre stone.

The most common vintage halo engagement rings contains the round brilliant cut diamond. It is possible to add the halo style to any diamond shape, and popular styles include vintage princess cut diamond rings, emerald, radiant and oval diamonds. The small row of melee diamonds surrounding the main diamond also adds sparkle.

What's the difference?

Diamonds created in a lab are virtually identical to mined diamonds in both appearance and structure.

They have almost identical internal structure and hardness/durability as natural diamonds while the way the stones reflect light is also exactly the same.

Also known as ethical diamonds, lab-grown diamonds are certified by the same system and standards as mined diamonds. As a result, they are graded according to the four Cs – carat, cut, clarity and colour, just like natural diamonds.

The only difference between mined diamonds and lab-grown diamonds is their origins. One comes from deep in the earth, while the other is ‘grown’ in a lab by recreating the same processes. These being extreme pressure and heat, the same as natural diamonds are exposed to in the ground.

Lab Diamonds tend to cost 30-40% less than natural diamonds.
