Halo Gold Rings

A halo ring most often symbolises eternal love, unity and a complete bond. The halo of diamonds surrounding the centre gemstone can be associated with protection, light and the uniqueness of a loved one. Because of this symbolism, the halo design is particularly well suited to engagement rings.

If it is an engagement ring, it is usually worn on the ring finger of the left hand. After the wedding, it can stay on the left hand or be paired with a wedding ring, according to personal tradition and comfort. A halo ring for a special occasion can also be worn on the ring finger or middle finger of the right hand. Most importantly, choose the right size so that the ring sits securely without feeling tight.

A halo ring is worth choosing if you want striking sparkle and a centre stone that looks larger. The smaller diamonds surrounding it enhance the play of light, so the ring looks luxurious even with a more modestly sized centre gemstone. The halo design shows off diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires particularly beautifully. Bear in mind that a setting of small stones needs regular cleaning and protection from hard knocks.

Halo rings are not out of fashion. It is a classic design that is constantly refreshed with contemporary shapes, subtle proportions and different gold colours. The halo of diamonds surrounding the centre gemstone adds sparkle, makes the main stone look larger and beautifully highlights coloured rubies, emeralds and sapphires. White, yellow or rose gold halo rings can look either classic or modern, so how current they look depends mostly on the chosen design and your personal style.

With an annual income of 50 000 euros, a sensible engagement ring budget could be around 2 000–3 500 euros, but this is not a fixed rule. The right amount depends on your monthly outgoings, savings, existing commitments and other financial goals. The outdated advice to spend two or three months’ salary on a ring often leads to unjustifiably high spending. You can find a ring that looks luxurious for less than 1 000 euros, especially if you choose a halo design, whose halo of diamonds makes the centre stone look larger and enhances the overall sparkle.
