Halo
Halo engagement rings feature a circle — or “halo” — of small accent stones that surround a larger centre gem. Created in the 1920s, this eye-catching design will never go out of style.
The timeless halo setting typically features a diamond as the centre stone, although you can replace it with a sparkling red ruby or blue sapphire for a more unique look. With a round diamond or square princess cut, you can make your ring really dazzle.
The halo setting exudes elegance and class. Why not enhance the royal look of this design by adding either colourless or coloured pavé diamonds in the band?
Sapphire
Sapphires are precious gemstones that consist of the mineral corundum. Blue sapphires are the most common, but yellow, orange and purple sapphires also exist.
After diamonds and moissanite, sapphires are the third hardest material on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
The symbolism of sapphires has changed over time. People also used to believe that a blue sapphire protected you against magic and witchcraft. According to Hindustani superstition, a sapphire brings good luck to the wearer under the influence of the planet of Saturn.
Today, sapphires mainly symbolise truth, love, purity and sincerity. With its intense blue appearance, the sapphire is perfect as an accent colour for an engagement ring or even a pair of earrings.
