The emerald-cut centre stone gives you long, clean flashes of light, which is a nice contrast to the constant, all-over sparkle from the round diamonds in the halo. It’s two different kinds of brilliance in one ring.
At the centre is a rectangular, emerald-cut diamond. It’s framed by a halo of 18 small, round brilliant diamonds that soften the corners of the setting. The whole cluster is lifted up, letting light pass through from all sides. The band itself is smooth, polished, and tapers to be thinnest right where it meets the setting, which makes the centrepiece look more prominent on the finger.
We make this ring in either 14K or 18K gold. The 14K option is 58.3% pure gold, which means it’s very durable for something you’ll wear every day. If you choose white gold, it's plated with rhodium—a hard, silvery-white metal from the platinum family. This plating gives the ring its bright shine and adds a layer of scratch resistance. The halo diamonds are set with a French pavé technique, using tiny v-shaped cuts to expose more of each stone to the light.

People often choose this design when they love the clean, architectural lines of an emerald cut but still want the intense sparkle of a round brilliant. The halo provides that sparkle, and the thin, tapered band makes the entire centre setting appear larger on the finger.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the rhodium plating on my white gold engagement ring wear off?
Yes, the rhodium plating on a white gold ring will gradually wear off with daily use, which is completely normal. This process usually takes 1-3 years. The solid white gold underneath has a slightly warmer tone. We can easily re-plate the ring for you to restore its bright, silvery-white finish.
How do I clean my diamond halo engagement ring at home?
You can safely clean your diamond halo ring at home using a soft toothbrush and a simple solution of warm water with a few drops of dish soap. Gently brush around the stones and under the setting to remove any buildup. Rinse it well with clean water and pat it dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Does the 1.6mm band on this engagement ring feel too thin?
A 1.6mm band is delicate but is strong enough for daily wear, especially when made from 14K gold. The slender design is intentional, as it helps to accentuate the centre stone. If you do a lot of heavy manual work, you might want to take it off just to be safe.
What happens if I order the wrong size for my engagement ring?
If the ring doesn't fit, you can return it within 30 days of receiving it for an exchange or refund. Just send an email to returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll provide you with a prepaid shipping label and help you find the correct size for your replacement.
