One of the most common engagement ring styles these days is the pave “halo” style e-ring. The typical halo engagement ring setting features a pave studded frame that hugs the contour of the center stone. This look is great for two reasons.
Firstly, it instantly adds about 3 millimeters to the diameter of the diamond. This might not sound like a lot, but consider that a 1 carat round diamond is about 6.3-6.5mm across and a 3 carat round diamond is about 9mm across. That’s quite an upgrade in size!
Secondly, the pave halo look adds a beautiful ring of sparkle filled “bling” around the center stone. It’s like shinning a spotlight on your center stone.
James Allen has a number of halo styles for different diamond shapes (obviously, because the halo fits the contour of the diamond, each setting is unique to a different shape of diamond). The one I selected today is just one of several that James Allen has available for round diamonds. The style today is the following: 18k White Gold Pave ME29 by Danhov Designer Eternity Engagement Ring.
