One of the most stressful purchases a man can decide on is picking out halo engagement ring settings for his hopeful wife to be. As if proposing is not stressful enough, now we have to pick out the perfect ring. This usually does not dawn on a man until the last moment when he is standing in front of the clerk at the jewelry store and states, “I need to buy an engagement ring.” Suddenly, he realizes that he is not at Burger King. The clerk will not hand him an engagement ring and smile. He is suddenly in way over his head. There are now fifty wedding and engagement sets before him, each with different cuts and styles, each a different size and shape. Suddenly, this man has slipped into…The Wedding Zone.
The basic styles of a halo diamond ring are:
Solitaire: It’s the epitome of all the rings styles, something your sweet heart must have surely envisioned for herself. In this a diamond or some other gemstone is set- up a little higher above the others and garners the maximum attention in the ring. Since the most prominent stone in these rings is generally substantial in size these are more expensive too.
Bridal Set: In these sets you get the ring along with the matching wedding band. Some sets also include the groom’s wedding band. This choice is rather economical and you will have the bridal jewelry set in perfect harmony. However the designs available in these may not be as myriad as the others, taking a chunk of individuality away from your choice of the ring. However if you know your fiance would like to wear both the wedding band and the engagement ring together then this is a perfect choice.
Past, present and future: This platinum halo diamond engagement rings style is also very popular as it showcases your emotions for each other in the most perfect manner. It has three stones set in a row signifying your past, present and future together. All the three stones might be of the same size, but in some a larger center stone flanked by smaller stones is also available. Some designs also have the band of the ring lined with small diamonds to increase the charm of the ring all the more.
Eternity band: This band signifies the two souls bound together by unending love. It consists of a continuous band which has been encrusted with diamonds all along. A prong setting might be used to accentuate the diamonds. You have to be mindful of the size of these bands as they cannot be re-sized.
Semi-eternity band: This type of engagement ring is similar to the eternity band but instead of the whole band being covered by diamonds, only a part of the band has them. This type of setting provides the beauty of the eternity band at a reduced price.
