The accent stones style in this design refers to the smaller gemstones set around or near the center stone, a practice that dates back through the Georgian and Victorian periods where craftsmen used clusters of small stones to increase apparent size and light, in this setting the accent stones are carefully placed to embrace the center gem, their round diamond shapes capture and rebound light into the heart of the primary stone, creating a halo of movement and depth that gives an almost lit from within effect, the halo style is more formally realized in the ring of stones that encircles the center, a design that became especially popular in the late 19th century and again in the Edwardian and Art Deco periods, the halo increases perceived carat size without sacrificing proportion, it intensifies brilliance, and it creates a striking, eye catching silhouette that reads beautifully from a distance while rewarding close inspection with meticulous craftsmanship, our halo renditions vary from delicate single row rings for a refined daily wear aesthetic to more pronounced multi stone arrangements for a dramatic, vintage inspired presence.

This setting accommodates a broad range of gemstone shapes and sizes, the central bezel and prong constructions are engineered to accept round, oval, cushion, princess, emerald cut, pear, marquise, and heart shaped gems, standard sizes from small center stones at 0.25 carat up to statement centers at 5.00 carat are easily supported, and bespoke proportions outside that range can be fabricated upon request to maintain balance between the center and the halo, for smaller centers we recommend a tighter halo of well matched round diamonds to maximize perceived size and sparkle, for elongated shapes such as oval or pear a slightly offset halo maintains visual harmony while accenting the gemstone length, emerald cut centers are complemented by a halo and accent stones that emphasize clean lines and reflect the step cut brilliance, cushion cuts and vintage cushions sit beautifully in this floral inspired mounting, and marquise shapes are cradled to protect points while showcasing dramatic length, our craftsmen will discuss ideal side stone sizes and counts to ensure that the round side diamonds form a consistent luminous frame, whether you prefer a delicate halo that whispers refinement or a more elaborate cluster that reads as a cherished family heirloom, we will tailor the metal choice, setting height, and diamond arrangement to preserve longevity and daily comfort.
