Where Brilliance Meets Love
Choosing an engagement ring is no ordinary task—it’s a moment filled with excitement, butterflies, and the promise of forever. And if you’re looking for something that captures the magic of your love story, allow us to introduce you to one of our all-time favourites: the halo engagement ring.
A halo ring is more than just beautiful—it’s cleverly crafted to enhance the sparkle of the center diamond, making it appear larger and more radiant than it actually is. Whether you’re drawn to classic round brilliance or the elegance of a pear or cushion cut, the halo setting elevates every shape into something truly breathtaking.
At SK Jewellery Malaysia, we believe that every love story deserves a ring that shines just as brightly. Our Star Carat Diamond collection showcases a variety of halo designs featuring IGI-certified lab-grown diamonds—offering you exceptional brilliance, ethical peace of mind, and extraordinary value.
Whether you’re here to find the ring, or just beginning your research, we’re here to help you make an informed, heartfelt choice. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know—from diamonds and settings to metal choices and personal style.
So take a deep breath, and let’s begin your journey to forever—together.
Understanding the Diamond in Your Halo Ring
When it comes to choosing the perfect halo engagement ring, it all begins with the diamond.
Think of the diamond as the heart of your ring—the element that catches the light, draws the eye, and tells your love story with every shimmer. And just like love, no two diamonds are exactly the same.
Here’s what you should know to choose yours with confidence:
The 4Cs: The Foundation of Every Beautiful Diamond Ring
At SK Jewellery Malaysia, we guide every client through the 4Cs—a simple yet powerful way to understand what makes a diamond truly sparkle:
- Carat: Carat refers to a diamond’s weight. But here’s the wonderful secret about halo rings: thanks to the halo of smaller diamonds surrounding the center stone, you can create the illusion of a much larger diamond without needing to jump dramatically in carat size. It’s important to understand the difference between carat weight and carat total weight; carat weight pertains specifically to the main stone, while carat total weight refers to all the stones in the setting.
- Cut: The cut is the artistry behind the diamond’s sparkle. A beautifully cut diamond, even if smaller, can outshine a poorly cut larger stone. Our Star Carat Diamonds are masterfully cut to capture and reflect light from every angle—because brilliance is everything.
- Colour: The less colour a diamond shows, the more rare and desirable it becomes. Most of our halo rings feature diamonds in the near-colourless range, giving off a crisp, icy shine that looks stunning against both white and rose gold settings.
- Clarity: Clarity measures the natural inclusions within a diamond. We carefully curate our diamonds to ensure they appear flawless to the naked eye, so all you see is pure, captivating beauty.
How the Halo Setting Enhances Your Center Diamond
One of the greatest charms of a halo engagement ring is how it creates the illusion of a larger diamond. The delicate circle of pavé diamonds, composed of smaller stones, magnifies the sparkle, making even a modest center diamond appear more luxurious and impressive. It’s the perfect way to achieve maximum brilliance—and to ensure your ring turns heads for all the right reasons.
Choosing the Right Centre Stone
Selecting the center stone for your halo engagement ring is a little like choosing the lead in a beautiful love story—it should feel just right and steal the show effortlessly.
While the halo setting adds sparkle and dimension, the center stone remains the heart of the design. Let’s walk through what you should consider to find the one.
Popular Diamond Shapes for Halo Rings
One of the first choices you’ll make is the shape of the diamond. Each brings its own personality.
1. Round Brilliant Halo Engagement Ring
The most classic and timeless choice, perfect for those who adore tradition and everlasting sparkle.
2. Cushion Cut Halo Engagement Ring
With soft, rounded edges and a pillow-like shape, it offers vintage romance with a modern twist.
3. Oval Cut Halo Engagement Ring
Elegant and elongating, making fingers appear longer and more slender—a true favourite for contemporary brides.
4. Pear Shape Halo Engagement Ring
A teardrop silhouette symbolizing emotion and individuality, perfect for those who want something a little different.
5. Emerald Cut Halo Engagement Ring
Sleek and sophisticated with step-cut facets that exude understated luxury.
The increasing popularity of using various gemstones in halo ring settings offers vibrant alternatives to traditional diamonds.
Size Isn’t Everything, But It Does Matter
When it comes to carat size, balance is key.
Thanks to the halo, you can opt for a slightly smaller center stone while still achieving a grand, breathtaking look. This allows you to focus on what truly matters—cut quality and overall design harmony—without overextending your budget.
Our consultants often recommend choosing a center stone that feels proportional to the wearer’s finger size and personal style. Dainty and delicate, bold and dramatic—your perfect look is out there.
How Setting Styles Can Complement Your Center Stone
Not all halos are created equal.
A classic single halo will elegantly frame a round brilliant diamond, while a double halo adds extra drama to an oval or cushion cut. Some settings even tilt slightly to create a “floating” effect, making the center stone appear as if it’s suspended in light.
Choosing the right combination ensures your diamond—and your love—shines at its brightest.
Single Halo: Timeless and Elegant
The single halo setting is the classic choice for good reason. A delicate circle of diamonds frames the center stone, drawing attention to its beauty and adding brilliance without overwhelming the design. Perfect for those who love timeless elegance with a hint of glamour.
Double Halo: For Extra Drama and Brilliance
When one halo simply isn’t enough, the double halo setting steps in, showcasing stunning designs that create even more sparkle and make the center stone look significantly larger. Ideal for those who want a ring that truly makes a bold, unforgettable statement.
Contemporary Halos: Sleek and Modern
Prefer clean lines and a fresh, bold look? Our modern halo designs feature geometric halos, sharp angles, or bezel settings—perfect for those who want something stylish, different, and unmistakably now.
Metal Options for Halo Engagement Rings
Just as the diamond is the heart of your ring, the metal setting is the stage that showcases its beauty. Choosing the right metal not only complements the sparkle of your halo but also reflects the wearer’s personal style.
White Gold: Timeless and Versatile
White gold is a perennial favourite for engagement rings, and it’s easy to see why. Its cool, silvery tone beautifully enhances the brilliance of diamonds, creating a crisp and elegant look that feels effortlessly modern.
White gold is perfect if you love a clean, sophisticated aesthetic—or if you want a ring that pairs easily with other jewellery pieces like wedding bands and everyday accessories.
Rose Gold: Romantic and Unique
Rose gold offers a warm, blush-toned glow that feels both romantic and distinctive. It adds a vintage touch to your halo design while remaining utterly fashionable and fresh.
Rose gold beautifully flatters a wide range of skin tones and brings a soft, feminine warmth to the ring—perfect for those who want something a little different, yet timeless.
Platinum: Pure and Enduring
If you seek a metal that promises strength, purity, and prestige, platinum is the perfect choice.
Naturally white and incredibly durable, platinum retains its luster and holds your precious stones securely for a lifetime and beyond.
It’s a wonderful investment for those who lead active lifestyles—or simply want a ring that looks as perfect on their 50th anniversary as it does today.
Matching the Metal to Personal Style
Choosing the right metal is not just about colour—it’s about capturing the essence of the person who will wear it.
Are they drawn to soft, romantic tones? Bold, sleek sophistication? Understated elegance?
Trust your instincts—you know them best. And remember, the best ring is the one that feels made just for them.
