Lab Grown Diamond Halo Rings

A halo of small diamonds set around the centre stone adds roughly half a carat of apparent size, because the eye reads the outer edge of the halo as the edge of the stone.

Buying Guide

No other setting converts money into apparent size this efficiently. Small stones are cheap per carat and large ones are not, so ringing a modest centre with a dozen of them costs a fraction of buying the same visual step outright. The effect is strongest around a smaller centre, where the proportional gain is largest — above about two carats a halo starts to read as decoration rather than as size.

What you accept in return is more upkeep. There are more stones and more settings than a plain ring carries, and a very small accent is easier to dislodge than a properly prong-set centre. Our lifetime manufacturing warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship; everyday wear is not covered, so a periodic check of the settings is worth the trouble. Everything here is made to order with free worldwide shipping and 65-day returns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do halo settings make the diamond look bigger?

Yes. A halo of small stones set around the centre typically adds about half a carat of visual size, because the eye reads the outer edge of the halo as the edge of the stone. It is the most efficient way to gain apparent size, since small accent stones cost far less per carat than one large centre.

How much bigger does a halo make the centre stone look?

Roughly half a carat of apparent size, because the eye reads the outer edge of the halo as the edge of the stone. That is the most cost-efficient size gain available, since accent stones cost a fraction per carat of a larger centre. We carry 30 halo designs across every shape.

Is a halo setting harder to maintain?

It has more stones and more settings, so there is more to keep clean, and a very small accent stone is easier to knock loose than a well-prong-set centre. Our lifetime manufacturing warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship; everyday wear is not covered. In practice a halo checked periodically gives no more trouble than a solitaire.

Are hoop earrings comfortable for daily wear?

Yes, provided the weight is right. We make our 240 hoop designs across the range to order in lightweight profiles, in gold, platinum and silver, so the diamond weight sits close to the lobe rather than pulling on it. Larger diameters need more care around hair and clothing but are no less secure.

A lifetime manufacturing warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, plus the optical properties of the diamond. It does not cover everyday wear, loss, or damage from repairs carried out by a third party. We also include free resizing for a full year from shipping on U.S. orders.
