Get in on the minimalist trend with gold pieces that you’ll never want to take off. Sport a perfect pair of gold hoop earrings, a cute cuff, an initial necklace, and a statement ring. 

Speaking of statement rings, why go for just one when you can stack ‘em? Wear them on the same finger or get multiple for different fingers because when it comes to stackable rings, it’s like holiday guests, the more the merrier!

Wear your gold jewelry together, separately, or mix and match for a clean, elegant look.

Halo Engagement Ring

The Ultimate Halo Engagement Ring Guide

The definition of classy, halo engagement rings are one of the most popular ring styles out there. Keep reading to learn more about these timeless beauties!

Finding the ideal engagement ring can be quite the task! With countless beautiful engagement ring styles to choose from, it can be hard to know which one is right for you. If you are on the hunt for a simple, sophisticated, and classy engagement ring, then the halo setting may be the perfect fit! Halo engagement rings have been in style for centuries, and are likely to continue shining for years to come! 

What Is The Halo Setting?

With all this talk of settings and styles, you may be asking one simple question: What exactly is a halo setting? The halo setting features a ring of sparkling accent stones (typically pavé diamonds) that surround or encircle a larger center stone. Halo settings can either be the same shape as the center stone or completely different. This makes the halo setting a versatile feature of any engagement ring. 

Pros & Cons Of A Halo Setting

Pros

  • More bling for your buck! This setting can create the illusion of a larger center stone 
  • The accent stones add texture and dimension to the center diamond
  • The accent diamonds can protect the center diamond from bumps and scratches
  • Halo settings come in various shapes and forms, making it a truly versatile setting

Cons

  • Due to a low-sitting halo, it can be hard to evenly wear a wedding band with your halo engagement ring
  • Halo settings are often harder to clean than other settings, such as solitaire rings
  • Smaller halo stones can sometimes dislodge and fall off if they’re hit

What Are The Most Popular Diamond Shapes For Halo Engagement Rings?

As previously mentioned, the classic halo setting offers many options for diamond shapes! From oval to emerald, there’s really something for everyone.

Oval Halo Engagement Rings

Oval halo engagement rings offer a classic look with a twist. The elongated center stone, surrounded by striking accents, results in a brilliant display of shine. Oval halo rings often make the finger look slimmer and more elegant.

Cushion Cut Halo Engagement Rings

Known for its soft shape and vintage look, the cushion cut halo engagement ring makes an alluring option. If you like both round halo rings and princess cut halo rings, the cushion cut makes the perfect middle option.

Round Halo Engagement Rings

Round halo engagement rings have been in style for ages and will probably be around for years to come! This is a timeless and classic look that will make any fiancé look glamorous.

Princess Cut Halo Engagement Rings

The princess cut halo engagement ring has been a go-to choice for years. This style of ring is loved for its sharp and angular sides that bring out extra sparkle.

Emerald Cut Halo Engagement Rings

The emerald cut halo engagement ring offers an eye-catching balance between tradition and modernity. While this style has been around for ages, it remains a popular option for any engagement.

Hidden Halo Rings

Wearing a hidden halo ring is an elegant way to show off your diamonds. The halo is hidden because when facing it front on, you won’t see the accent diamonds. Only at an angle will they shine with all their brilliance.

How to Care for Your Halo Engagement Ring

For many women, their engagement ring is the first piece of fine jewelry that they’ll wear every day. It’s natural to look down at your ring and wonder how to keep it sparkling! Here are a few steps you can follow to keep your ring looking as eye-catching as ever:

  1. Fill a shallow bowl with warm water
  2. Mix the water with a few drops of soap or mild dishwashing detergent
  3. Gently place your ring inside and let it sit there for a few minutes
  4. With a soft-bristled toothbrush (or jewelry cleaning brush), scrub the diamond, rinse it, and pat it dry.

And then you’re done! Make sure you clean your ring at least once every few weeks to keep it bright and shiny!

Tips On Shopping For Halo Engagement Rings

Deciding on a halo engagement ring is the easy part- now you just have to purchase one! Here are some tips on shopping for a halo engagement ring.

  1. Opt for lab created diamonds

Lab grown diamonds are a cost-effective alternative to naturally created diamonds. Lab created diamonds look just the same, for a portion of the cost! 

  1. Make sure your diamonds are the same color

When you find a ring you like, make sure you pay close attention to the color of each diamond. To get that uniform and sleek look, make sure the diamonds on your ring are all the same color grade!

  1. Inspect your diamond before buying!

    Inspecting your diamond is a great way to make sure you are getting the diamond that you deserve! At James Allen, we offer real-time diamond inspections where you can have all your questions answered by an expert!

FAQs

1. Does a halo setting make the ring look bigger?

Yes! The accent diamonds optically extend the size of your center diamond, giving the illusion that it’s bigger than it really is.

2. Are halo engagement rings dated?

Not at all! Despite being around for many years, halo engagement rings remain a popular choice for many new brides.

3. How do I choose a halo ring?

Choosing one halo ring from a beautiful selection can be a hard task. Take a look at all the halo rings James Allen has to offer to get inspiration and find out what look suits you!

4. When did halo rings become popular?

Halo rings had their first spike in popularity in the late 18th century! Since then, they’ve maintained their status as a classy and eye-catching ring. Today, they are one of the top three most popular engagement ring styles!

To Sum It Up

As we now know, the halo engagement ring is a versatile ring that will look dazzling on any finger! Whichever setting you choose, a halo engagement ring will evoke a feeling of vintage flair while also remaining stylishly current.

The option to choose your own setting and your metal color ensure that your ring will be as unique as you are. Surrounded by an array of sparkling accent diamonds, you know your future halo ring will outshine any other!

Sofia Vergara’s Engagement Ring: The Ultimate Guide 

Sofia Vergara smiling with her husband Joe on the red carpet.

Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello’s relationship is a classic tale of “when you know, you know.” The two stars got engaged a mere six months after they began dating, and their love is still going strong six years later.

The pair are often heard speaking fondly (and hilariously) of one another during their talk show appearances, and they’re not shy when showing off their wholesome and beautiful relationship on Instagram. 

Joe proposed to Sofia in a stunning display of romance, promising her forever with the view of Hawaiian mountains in the background. Did we mention he did this all in her native language, Spanish? *Swoon*

Here’s all we know about Sofia’s humongous diamond sparkler and where you can find a ring just like it at JamesAllen.com.

We’re going to share the following fun facts with you: 

  1. The style of Sofia’s engagement ring 
  2. The diamond shape 
  3. The diamonds carat size 
  4. How much Sofia’s engagement ring cost 
  5. Sofia’s engagement ring lookalikes 

Sofia’s Vergara’s Engagement Ring Pictures

Sofia and Joe have had many public appearances together, but this one was by far the most jaw-dropping. The stunning couple showed up to the 2015 SAG Awards, dressed to the nines, and had all eyes on them with her showstopping diamond sparkler on full display.

What Style Setting is Sofia Vergara’s Engagement Ring?

Sofia’s Vergara’s engagement ring is a sparkling pavé halo setting with a cushion cut center stone, held firmly in place by four prong claws. The platinum band has intricate diamonds adorning it, a detail that only adds to the ring’s unique aesthetic.

The halo setting is a highly popular trend right now for brides and grooms-to-be. This setting is ideal for anyone who wants to bring that extra sparkle to their engagement ring. A halo accent is also a sure way to make the center stone appear more striking than what it would on its own. 

A halo setting is one way to make your ring all the more spectacular, but a band studded with tiny diamonds is one embellishment that suits modern and vintage engagement rings alike. The more diamonds you have, the more you’ll glow. 

What Diamond Shape is Sofia’s Engagement Ring?

The center stone on Sofia Vergara’s engagement ring is a cushion cut diamond. 

Cushion-shaped diamonds are ranked the third most popular diamond cut after the round brilliant and princess. Like round diamonds, they are incredibly versatile and fit perfectly in just about any setting. They’re especially liked for the illusion they give off, appearing like crushed ice.

Cushion cut diamonds tend to experience less damage because they don’t have any sharp edges. Their smooth outline makes it difficult for chipping to occur. Overall, this pillow-shaped diamond is an excellent investment and low maintenance. 

Another fantastic bonus is that these diamonds are budget-friendly. They’re less expensive than round-cut diamonds and often produce the same fire and brilliance. 

How Many Carats is Sofia Vergara’s Engagement Ring?

Sofia’s engagement ring is practically impossible to miss. Experts estimate her engagement ring to be between 5-7 carats. 

The diamond seems to be at least an F or higher on the color scale. 

How Much Did Sofia Vergara’s Ring Cost? And What’s It Really Worth?! 

Sofia’s ring has been featured on many sites as one of the most expensive celebrity engagement rings. Joe is said to have paid around $500,000 for the engagement ring that could be mistaken for a miniature ice-rink. 

Looking at an ideal cushion cut diamond with excellent specifications (E Color, VVS2 Clarity) at James Allen, the estimate seems accurate.
