Halo & Cluster Style Engagement Rings
Designed with a halo of smaller gemstones encasing the centrestone, halo and cluster style engagement rings give the illusion of a larger centrestone. Ranging from diamond set to coloured gemstones, our curated collection of halo and cluster style engagement rings has been crafted with meticulous care and detail and set in precious metal materials.
If you're looking for something a little different to what we have available in our collection, book an obligation-free design consultation to have your very own bespoke halo or cluster style engagement ring designed and crafted in our on-site Toowoomba-based workshop.
FAQ
Both halo and cluster style engagment rings feature a centrestone surrounded smaller coloured gemstones or white diamonds.
As the name suggests, a halo style engagement ring features a centrestone encased by a number of smaller stones that are set in a channel setting which forms a halo. A cluster style engagement ring typically features claw set stones around the centrestone.
Halo or cluster style engagement rings often make the centrestone appear larger due to the surrounding smaller stones, which can be especially appealing for those who want a striking look without the high cost of a large centre diamond or coloured gemstone. They also offer a unique and vintage aesthetic, providing a lot of sparkle while allowing for creative designs that can be customised with fine metal work or setting detail.
Both settings can be durable, but it depends on the design and the quality of the craftsmanship. Halo settings can have a bit more exposure for the smaller stones, which may require regular checks to ensure they remain secure. Cluster settings, depending on how they’re arranged, can be more prone to snagging so it's always a good idea to consult with a qualified jeweller or sales consultant about the best options for everyday wear, especially if you lead an active lifestyle.
Due to their setting style, halo or cluster style engagement rings often require custom made wedding bands that are shaped or contoured. At Hogans, we have an on-site workshop where our jewellers are able to design and craft bespoke wedding bands to suit any style of engagement ring.
