Would you like a larger diamond for your ring, but the price tag is holding you back? Then a halo ring might be a great option.

What Centre Stone Suits a Halo Ring?
The best cuts for the ring are the round diamond and the square princess cut. More specific shapes, such as the marquise cut, or the teardrop, also work but will make the halo effect less pronounced.
So, which diamonds provide the best combination in a halo ring? That mainly depends on your budget. Optically, a medium diamond surrounded by a row of smaller diamonds, or a small diamond with three rows of smaller diamonds around it, both create great rings. To enhance the look, you can also inset colourless or coloured pavé diamonds in the band.
