Buy a Halo Setting for Your Diamond

You can take advantage of the luxuries that people had in the beginning of the 20th century by opting for a halo setting. This vintage ring design features a prominent center stone that is surrounded by several smaller stones. The center stone is available in basic shapes like squares and circles.

How Did The Halo Setting Evolve?

The First World War brought a lot of social and economic hardship for people around the world. The cultural landscape was greatly impacted and reflected the culture of the time. After World War I, in the 1920s and 30s, the Art Deco aesthetic was prevalent in various art forms. This movement was seen as a reaction to the deprivation witnessed by people during the First World War. The Art Deco aesthetic was marked by opulence and bold geometric shapes to mark a return to normalcy in society. During this time, the Halo engagement ring settings evolved as the preferred ring designs in engagement and bridal jewelry.

A border of small stones, surrounding a single large center stone, marks the opulent design of a Halo setting. The preferred shape of the center stone is usually the round shaped diamond. Center stones are also available in pear shape, square shape or cushion cut diamonds.
