Halo Engagement Rings

We use both lab-grown and natural diamonds for halo rings, for the centre stone, the halo diamonds, or both. Since lab-grown and natural diamonds are visually identical, you can't tell which is which once they're set. However, lab-grown options cost around 30% less, which is good to keep in mind when you're setting dozens of accent stones around a centre diamond, as this price difference can mean a larger centre stone or more intricate halo work within your budget. Visit our Adelaide studio to see examples of both.

Yes, each halo ring is custom-made in Adelaide specifically for you. You'll choose your centre diamond shape and size, decide on the halo style (single or double row, round or shaped to match your stone) and select your metal. The halo can be designed with different diamond sizes and arrangements depending on the look you want. Nothing is pre-made.

Halo rings typically take 4-8 weeks to complete. The process involves sourcing your centre and halo diamonds, hand-setting each small stone around the centre (which requires precision), and finishing the metalwork. More complex designs, like double halos or hidden halos, may take slightly longer. If you have a timeline in mind, let us know early, and we'll plan accordingly.

Once finished, your ring will arrive in 2-5 business days anywhere in Australia via insured courier. Adelaide customers can choose hand delivery or studio pickup from Hyde Park. International shipping is available, with timing dependent on your location, and we'll provide realistic estimates when you order.

We ship halo rings to every corner of Australia using fully insured, tracked courier services. Each ring is securely packaged, and you'll receive tracking information to follow its journey. If you're in Adelaide, you can also collect from our studio rather than waiting for delivery.

Halo rings can be made in 18k yellow gold, 18k white gold, 18k rose gold, 14k gold options, or platinum, and the metal choice affects how the halo diamonds look. White metals make diamonds look brighter and icier, while yellow and rose gold add warmth. Platinum offers maximum durability for the delicate pavé work in halos. We'll discuss which metal complements your centre stone and suits your daily wear.

They can, though it depends on the halo design. Standard halos usually allow straight bands to sit close or flush. Low-profile halos work especially well with wedding bands. Hidden halos (where the accent stones sit under the centre stone) often pair beautifully with straight bands. If your halo extends outward, you might prefer a curved or notched wedding band. Whatever style you like best, we can design your engagement ring with a wedding band pairing in mind.

Every halo ring is made in our Adelaide studio from start to finish. Our jewellers hand-set each tiny halo diamond individually, and that precision work can't be rushed. Local production also means we can control quality throughout and can adjust designs during creation if needed. You're working directly with the people making your ring, not through intermediaries.

Centre stones generally range from 0.40ct to 3ct, though we can source larger if you prefer. In terms of design, the halo adds visual size, so a 1ct diamond in a halo setting looks closer to 1.5ct. Halo diamonds are usually quite small (0.01ct to 0.03ct each), and sized to frame rather than compete with the centre. We'll help you choose centre and halo proportions that create a balanced, cohesive look on your hand.

Yes. Full insurance at appraised value is included with every shipment, using tracked couriers that require signatures. You'll get tracking details when it ships. After delivery, you should arrange your own insurance, as halo rings have many small stones that, while securely set, benefit from proper coverage. We can suggest insurers experienced with fine jewellery if you need recommendations.
