The Allure of Halo Rings: Elevating Gemstones and a Comparison of Top Brands

Setting that Makes Gemstones Appear Larger ♡

Have you ever heard of the "Halo" setting in jewelry?

The Halo setting is a technique where a larger gemstone is surrounded by smaller ones. It's named after the phenomenon of a "Halo" that appears around the sun＊

The charm of the Halo setting lies in the fact that the center diamond and the surrounding diamonds appear as one when viewed from a distance, creating the illusion of a more voluminous piece of jewelry ♡

For example, while the price of a diamond can roughly double when going from 0.5 carats to 1 carat, adding surrounding diamonds to a 0.5-carat ring can give the appearance of a 1-carat diamond without doubling the price (usually increasing by about 100,000 to 200,000 yen). Larger diamonds are rarer, hence their higher cost.

For reference:

✅ 0.5-carat solitaire ring: 500,000 yen

✅ 1-carat solitaire ring: 1,000,000 yen

✅ 0.5-carat converted to a halo ring appearing like a 1-carat in volume: 650,000 yen

Although the carat of the center diamonds on the right and left is the same, the impression is completely different, isn’t it?

This shows a design where a 0.5-carat ring is surrounded by double melee diamonds.

The volume is impressive♡

I have tried on a halo ring, and it sparkled so much that I thought, "It doesn’t look like this price!" and it was really beautiful ♡

At first, I thought it might be too flashy, but as I got used to it, rings without surrounding stones started to look lacking…!

The cute design makes the diamond appear even larger, so it would surely increase satisfaction ♡
