Yes -- significantly. A well-set halo can make a center diamond appear 20-40% larger visually. A 0.75ct center stone in a high-quality halo setting will typically read visually as a 1.0-1.25ct equivalent. This makes halo rings the best value-per-visual-impact choice in the engagement ring market.

Halo rings require slightly more care than solitaires due to the additional prongs holding the accent diamonds. We recommend cleaning with a soft toothbrush and warm soapy water monthly. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for prong-set halos. LoveWeddingBands includes complimentary professional cleaning under our lifetime warranty -- ship it back to us anytime.

All LoveWeddingBands halo engagement rings are available in 14K white gold (most popular -- maximizes diamond brilliance), 14K yellow gold, 14K rose gold, 18K white gold, 18K yellow gold, 18K rose gold, and platinum. White gold and platinum are our most requested metals for halo settings.

Yes. Our halo settings accommodate multiple center stone shapes including round brilliant (most popular), oval, cushion, emerald, pear, marquise, and radiant cuts. The halo accent diamonds are matched to complement the center stone shape. Call (800) 754-3046 to discuss center stone options.

Yes -- with proper care. The key factor is setting quality. At LoveWeddingBands, every accent diamond in our halo rings is hand-set with secure individual prongs rather than machine-paved, which is significantly more durable for daily wear. We recommend an annual prong check, which is included free under our lifetime warranty.

A floating halo has a small gap between the center diamond and the surrounding halo of accent stones, creating the illusion that the center diamond is suspended above the band. A standard halo has the accent diamonds immediately adjacent to the center stone with no gap. Floating halos are more contemporary; standard halos are more traditional. Both are available at LoveWeddingBands.
