When it comes to engagement rings that capture hearts and command attention, halo engagement rings reign supreme.

Whether you’re planning the perfect proposal or upgrading a treasured piece, halo engagement rings offer the kind of glamor that turns moments into lifelong memories.
At Vermont Gem Lab, we specialize in crafting halo engagement rings that blend timeless beauty with exquisite detail. As a leader in custom jewelry design and gemstone expertise, we’re passionate about helping couples find or create a piece that reflects their unique love story.
What Makes Halo Engagement Rings So Special?
The hallmark of a halo engagement ring is the stunning circle of smaller diamonds or gemstones that surround a center stone. This design not only amplifies the brilliance of the centerpiece but also adds a luxurious, vintage-inspired aesthetic.
Many couples choose this style because:
- Enhanced Sparkle: The halo design reflects more light, making the ring appear even more brilliant.
- Larger Appearance: The circle of diamonds creates the illusion of a larger center stone.
- Design Versatility: Halo rings can be styled with any center stone shape—from round and oval to pear and cushion cuts.
- Custom Flair: They’re perfect for adding personal touches, like colored gemstone accents or double halos.
With so many benefits, it’s no surprise that halo engagement rings have become a staple among those who crave a showstopping look with timeless charm.
A Peek into Halo Engagement Ring History
Though modern and popular today, halo engagement rings have deep roots in history. They rose to fame during the Georgian era (1714–1837) and flourished during the Victorian period when colored gemstones were fashionable.
In the 1920s, the Art Deco era redefined halo designs with symmetry and bold geometry. Fast forward to the 21st century, halo rings are making a dramatic comeback, thanks to celebrity trends and the public’s renewed appreciation for vintage elegance.
At Vermont Gem Lab, we honor this rich legacy by offering custom-crafted designs that channel the old-world charm of halo engagement rings while incorporating today’s preferences for craftsmanship, comfort, and customization.
