One of the most stressful purchases a man can decide on is picking out halo engagement rings 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 diamond halo 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.
Finding a great diamond is a process that could take months. Research and use the information. By this, I mean that if you must ask questions of the salesperson, and you must, do not ask foolish questions that give away your lack of knowledge. Diamonds range in appearance from colorless to black. Even so, almost all diamonds have a slight to heavy yellow tinge. The clearer the color, or in this case, lack of color, the purer the diamond. This is why some diamonds are set in yellow gold. The gold background helps to mask the yellow of the diamond. A clear, pure diamond will stand out strikingly from others of poor quality, and the best ones can go into white gold or platinum halo diamond engagement rings. Look for that diamond that stands out.
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.
