Yes, a halo setting does indeed make the center diamond appear larger. The smaller diamonds or gemstones surrounding the center stone, a key feature of halo designs, enhance the center stone’s overall brilliance and amplify its presence on the ring. At Marks Jewelers, our expertly crafted halo settings are designed to maximize the beauty and impact of your chosen diamond, offering an elegant way to elevate your perfect engagement ring.
Yes, halo settings tend to be more expensive than classic solitaire settings as halo rings include additional diamonds or gemstones that surround the center stone. Additionally, higher craftsmanship is required to create halo settings, which can add to the overall cost. At Marks Jewelers, we offer a range of halo and solitaire options to suit different budgets and preferences. Many of our customers find that upgrading to a halo setting significantly enhanced the visual impact of their center diamond and helped them achieve the luxurious look they were searching for.
While the halo setting is incredibly versatile, many people find that center stones ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 carats work best for this style of ring. A modest size allows the halo to complement the center stone without overwhelming it, resulting in a balanced and harmonious look.
