s/o Halo E-Rings

Do you think Halos are classic style or very trendy?

It's been years that I have been wanting to change the setting my e-ring, so I can wear it more often, and I am attracted to these two settings:

#1

or #2

Re: s/o Halo E-Rings

  • I think they are trendy, although I know they've been around a long while.  Classic to me is a simple band and solitaire or even a solitaire with a very thin band with micro pave diamonds.  I prefer just a solitaire but think a halo looks pretty with a verrrrry thin halo. 
    I think the pics above are too much IMO.
  • Can I ask what your ring looks like now?
  • Ohhhhh...I love #2!  Plus I think it would be easier to get your wedding band to sit flush with it as opposed to #1. 

    I think they're pretty classic and I love the antique look they add to a ring.  

  • It's a simple six prong solitaire, but I feel it's too unproportionatly thin and flimsy for my stone.
  • I don't think they are trendy but I wouldn't say classic either.

    What about just adding little diamonds on the band?  Like this....

    See, I think a thin band is so delicate and feminine! Are you worried about it being damaged?

    I think halos are definitely trendy, but I think they'll be around for a while longer. I just think that in 10 years that will be a typical setting of the early 2000's (haha don't know how else to put that) just like you can tell a setting from the 80's etc.

    My engagement ring is art deco, so it will never really be "trendy", but I feel like there has been a resurgence of antique designs in engagement rings in the last decade or so. 

  • I don't think they are particularly trendy or classic. My e ring is a halo and it's vintage and I love love it. Of the two you posted I prefer the second one but I like them both:)

  • I like number one. :) It reads classic to me. It looks like a lot of great grandmas rings.

  • Halos are beautiful.  However I feel it is important to ask yourself if what you really want is a bigger diamond.

    I know exactly what you mean! I see some ladies at work and I know their rings were considered pretty in the 80s and 90s, but it looks totally dated now.

    Totally agree :)

  • I think they are a classic design that is very trendy right now. I think in the future, they will scream late-2000s/early-2010s engagement/wedding.

    Not that there's anything wrong with that...if that is the design you love, then you should have it.

    I have a very thin band (with micropave diamonds) and a solitaire that is quite large and I love it! I think there is no better way to showcase a larger stone. I was attracted to the look of halos but I think if you already have a larger solitaire, it's nice to let it stand on its own. It doesn't need the extra help, you know?

    The style is very pretty but does it prevent all possible light from getting to the center stone?  I would think it would?
  • I think it's trendy & dated looking.

    I also tend to think that people with halo rings are trying to fake the funk and pretend they have a bigger diamond.

  • I'm not a fan of the halo setting, I find it to be trendy and think people are trying to make their stones look bigger than they actually are.  Plus, I think they actually take away from your center stone.  I much prefer the pic that was posted with the diamonds on the band, however, I may be biased since I have a similiar setting.

  • I moved my engagement diamond to a halo setting about a year and a half ago.  I love it and don't think it's trendy at all.  Was I trying to make my diamond look bigger?  Not consciously.  

    But...I did it as a 10th anniversary gift to myself, and I wear it on my right hand so it's not screaming "engagement ring" any more to anybody.  I don't know if I'd have wanted that when I was still in the mood to wear my wedding band and ering as a set on my left hand.  Or even alone on my right hand when I was newly married.  After wearing it for 12 years, though, I'm a lot more ok with something different (in fact, I really wanted a change, and thought about it for a year before I actually did it).  If I ever do start to think it's trendy or dated, I'll just switch it again.  I still have the old setting put away, or I can go for something new again.

  • I think an emerald-cut diamond with a halo is a classic style. Not sure about a round diamond, however.
