Are halo rings still in style?

[DiamondsNPearls]

I know that they were popular all throughout the 2010s...would you say they still have the same popularity?

I think the pendulum is swinging back more towards solitaires and vintage styles at the moment. But everything comes around again.

 

[lovedogs]

I think halos will always be in style.

 

[dk168]

I love halos regardless whether they are in trend or not!

Look at the Harry Winston halo—classic.

 

[RunningwithScissors]

I love them for colored gems because they set off the gem's hue. A haloed sapphire for example is a timeless classic. But I personally don't care for them for white diamonds where I feel they distract from the main stone.

They will always be in style to me. Self proclaimed halo hoe all the way.

 

[Polabowla]

Now beyonce's song halo is playing in my head lol

 

[vintageloves]

I think they are on their way out but generally when a popular style is ”done” it still takes years to fully fade.

 

[jBright]

I’m not personally a fan, I did customize my solitaire w a “hidden” halo though!

my friend just got engaged and has a regular halo - so people are definitely still into it!

 

[dk168]

There are many variations of halos, I don't believe I would get bored with them TBH!

To me personally, halos are like the "Shaker" style in kitchen design - I can never get bored with both.

Shaker style kitchen was already the in-thing when I bought my house in 2006 installed a kitchen in that style. It is still very popular judging by the kitchen shops that I have visited recently.

I feel like halos are trendy and nothing beats classic (talking about e-rings only.)

i think they will always be in style but the particular trend of micropave thin halos is ebbing or at least starting to look like it's associated with a particular point in time imho.

Yes, I think much the same. If you look at antique pieces many of those are technically halos or cluster settings. A cut down collet could even be considered a halo, because of the metal rim encasing the stone. It depends on your definition of halo.

I just remembered that I had this exact conversation with one of my girlfriends when she was picking her ring—in 2007. Ha!!! She opted for a solitaire and at the time, I recall telling her that was a solid choice bc I thought halos had had their day—because I had obsessed over halos in the early 2000’s so of course—they would become dated soon. Lmao when I think about it now. Here we are 20 years later and I still love halos! And so do celebrities—if trendiness is one of your concerns.

 

[ls430FL]

I personally think Halos will always have a market but I also think they are very trendy in the last 10 years or so. When I somewhat recently designed an ER I elected for solitaire. I wanted something that would look recent even 20 years from now and a halo may not. Halos have their purpose but I also think it depends on the size of the center stone.

Halo's have variations that make them classic and unique. Some styles will speak to a person esthetics, that should be your guide not some influencer.

 

[Lucy-In-The-Sky]

I think a halo is a classic - look at Victorian & Georgian jewelry, for example. There are specific variations of halo rings that may be associated more with a particular era (ie, micropave), but I don't think a classic can ever be "out".

 

[rockhoundofficiando]

"Halo" styles have always been around for centuries, clusters etc.. I think typically the "halo" was comprised of larger stones, not the micropave that is popular today, however a rose by any other name.....

 

[Tekate]

I've never ever liked a halo on a diamond because as someone said above, they take away from the center diamond, then again if a person wants to bling up their engagement ring without upgrading to a more expensive stone I get it and a halo does the trick and perfectly, I love a pink halo, they are so exquisite, Missy has a halo of sorts on her Bubbalah and it's perfect so I do like them, but I sorta like them better on cushion cut diamonds, but hell I'd take one!

OF COURSE I didn't answer the original question, my answer is No not really because halos are classy and beautiful and whatever a person wants will always be in style (thus quote my long dead but GREAT mother).

 

[Catmom]

I'm pretty sure that haloes always have been and always will be in style.

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Buy what you love and what suits you and don't worry about what's in style
If you love a halo then halo it and enjoy

Halos dont do it for me and i remember the last time they were big but that's just me

jewlery is such a personal thing and most people keep their fine jewlery a very long time
Its your fingers and it's you that will be looking at them all day

Buying something because its in fashion is not a good enough reason to me.
You have to love it and be confident it will bring you joy and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks

I think one should wear what one wants and be a leader, not a follower

Can't agree more. Trends, what trends?

[AprilBaby]

It’s been 20 years and I see three stones coming back into style.

 

[ccuheartnurse]

They were in style 15 yrs ago when they 1st started hitting the scene. People were posting...oh stick with a classic solitaire, these rings are just a fad. Nope, they are still here & I don't see them going anywhere. While back then, all you could find were halo's made with round stones, today, you can get a diamond halo with one shape stone or mixed shaped stones, with calibrated cut stones etc. It's like the "women wearing large watches is a trend" similarity. Neither are a trend. LOL

 

[doberman]

Halos are one thing, micropave is another. I do believe the micropave trend is becoming less popular, and that includes micropave halos. But halos in general encompass such a wide variety of looks that they'll never be out completely.

 

[Rockdiamond]

Based on my experience...
If 1000 people are getting engaged, and thinking of a diamond ring, at least 950 are thinking of a round diamond in a Tiffany style solitaire.
Of the other 50, there's a wide variety of tastes.
Marquise were very popular among the "other 50" for a while, then declined.
But RBC/ solitaire has dominated since OEC was number one- and before that, Old Mine Brilliant in basically round shapes...
I agree with those that say halos won't ever go out of style- because they make sense from a design standpoint.
