This Emerald and Diamond Halo Engagement Ring puts a 1.15ct natural emerald at the centre of a sparkling halo of natural diamonds totalling 0.75ct in G/H colour and SI1/SI2 clarity. The custom halo setting is fabricated in 14kt white gold with a slim 2.15mm band, a profile sized for an engagement ring meant to be worn daily. With a combined 1.90 total carat weight, this piece blends vivid green emerald colour with classic diamond brilliance, the defining look of a halo emerald engagement ring.
The 1.15ct centre is a natural mined emerald, hand-selected for the saturated green hue emerald is known for. The 0.75ct of diamond accents forming the halo are natural mined stones graded G to H in colour and SI1 to SI2 in clarity, the same diamond grade tier we use across our engagement ring collection. The combined 1.90tcw is at the upper end of typical engagement ring carat weights, while the halo design produces a face-up presence noticeably larger than a 1.15ct solitaire would.
This is a custom halo setting in 14kt white gold (585 purity) with a deliberately slim 2.15mm band. The slim band is a stylistic choice: it lets the centre emerald and surrounding diamond halo take visual priority. The white gold metal sits cleanly against both the green emerald and white diamond stones, producing a high-contrast classic look. The halo also serves a protective function, adding diamond coverage around the edges of the emerald, the most vulnerable part of any emerald-set ring.
A halo setting surrounds the centre stone with a circle of smaller accent diamonds. For emerald engagement rings, halo settings serve two functions: they amplify the visual size of the centre stone (a 1.15ct emerald in a halo reads closer to a 2ct solitaire), and they add diamond coverage to the perimeter of the emerald, providing some protection to the most chip-prone part of the stone. Halo emerald engagement rings are one of the most-searched emerald engagement ring styles, and combine the colour focus of a coloured-stone centre with the broad brilliance of diamond brilliance.
Yes. The 1.15ct centre emerald is a natural mined gemstone. The 0.75ct of diamonds in the halo are also natural, in G/H colour and SI1/SI2 clarity.
Substantially. A halo of small accent diamonds around the centre emerald increases the visual face-up size of the ring without increasing the centre stone weight. A 1.15ct emerald in this halo reads closer to a 2ct solitaire on the hand.
The slim band is a deliberate design choice. A thinner band lets the centre stone and halo dominate the visual line of the ring. Slimmer bands also tend to look more delicate and contemporary, well-matched to a halo emerald engagement ring.
Emerald is durable enough for engagement-ring wear, registering 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs hardness scale. The halo setting in this piece adds protective diamond coverage at the perimeter of the emerald. Avoid hard impact, ultrasonic cleaners, and steam cleaning to preserve the centre stone.
