The halo of diamonds isn't just set around the centre stone—it's set slightly below it. This makes the main diamond appear to float above the ring, catching light from every possible angle and separating its sparkle from the halo's.
A large round brilliant-cut diamond is the clear centrepiece, secured by delicate prongs. It's encircled by a halo of smaller round diamonds that are perfectly matched. The band, or shank, is also lined with diamonds that extend halfway down the sides. They’re set in a French pavé style, with tiny V-shaped cuts in the metal that expose the sides of the stones. The lower half of the 2 mm band is smooth, polished gold.
We make this ring in your choice of solid 14K or 18K gold. 14K gold is 58.3% pure gold, alloyed for durability, which makes it a practical choice for everyday wear. We plate all our white gold with rhodium, a hard, silvery-white metal from the platinum family. This gives the ring its bright, mirror-like finish. You can have this ring set with either natural diamonds or lab-grown diamonds, which are physically and chemically identical to their mined counterparts.

You'd pick this ring when you want the impressive sparkle of a halo but prefer a more delicate feel on your finger. The 2 mm band is slender enough that it doesn't feel bulky, keeping the focus entirely on the diamonds. It’s a very balanced design.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the French pavé setting on this engagement ring look different from other pavé rings?
The French pavé setting uses small v-shaped grooves cut into the band, which create a distinctive scalloped look along the edge. This technique exposes more of each diamond's side profile compared to other pavé styles, allowing more light to enter and increasing the overall sparkle of the ring.
Can I wear my white gold halo engagement ring in the shower or while washing my hands?
You can, but we advise against making it a habit. While water won't harm the gold or diamonds, soap, shampoo, and lotions will. They leave a film that dulls the stones' brilliance and can build up in the small spaces under the halo and pavé settings, making it harder to clean.
How should a halo engagement ring fit on my finger?
A halo engagement ring should fit snugly enough that it doesn't easily spin, but be loose enough to slide over your knuckle with a little effort. Because the top is larger than the band, a ring that's too loose will constantly rotate, which can be annoying and increases the risk of catching the prongs.
What happens if my engagement ring doesn't fit or I want to return it?
We accept returns within 30 days of purchase for any reason. If the ring is not the right fit or you've simply changed your mind, just email us at returns@vanhess.ca. We'll send you a prepaid shipping label and instructions. The ring must be returned in its original, unworn condition.
How long does shipping take for an engagement ring to the United States?
Shipping to the United States is free for orders over $60 CAD and typically takes between 5 to 15 business days to arrive. Once your ring is ready and has been dispatched from our Coquitlam studio, we will send you a tracking number so you can follow its journey.
