The halo on this ring isn't just a simple circle of diamonds. We set 19 individual round diamonds, one by one, to trace the exact teardrop silhouette of the centre stone. This detail makes the main diamond appear larger and gives it a very defined, crisp outline.
A pear-cut diamond sits at the centre, secured by three prongs. It’s framed by a halo of 19 small, round diamonds that follow its shape perfectly. The band is a simple, highly polished silver-coloured metal. It starts at about 2 mm wide and tapers, becoming thinner as it rises to meet the central setting, which draws your eye straight to the diamonds.
This ring is cast in solid 14K or 18K gold. If you choose white gold, we add a final layer of rhodium plating. Rhodium is in the platinum family, which means it's responsible for the ring's bright, mirror-like white colour and adds a layer of scratch resistance. The 19 halo diamonds are set using a French pavé technique. This uses tiny, shared prongs, which means less metal is visible and more of each diamond is exposed to light.

People often choose this ring for its proportions. The pear cut, especially when outlined by the halo, has a lengthening effect on the hand. And the way the band narrows as it approaches the top makes the entire diamond setting look more prominent than it would on a straight band.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the white gold on my engagement ring look slightly yellow after a few years?
The rhodium plating on your white gold ring can wear off over time, revealing the natural, slightly warmer tone of the white gold alloy underneath. This is completely normal with regular wear. We can re-plate it for you in our studio to restore its bright white finish.
Can I wear my diamond halo engagement ring in the shower or while washing my hands?
Yes, you can wear your diamond ring while washing your hands or showering, as water won't harm the gold or diamonds. However, soaps, lotions, and oils can build up under the halo setting, which will dull the stones' sparkle over time. We recommend cleaning it regularly to keep it bright.
How do I know what size to get for a pear-cut engagement ring and which way should it point?
We recommend getting professionally sized at a local jeweller for the most accurate fit. There's no single correct way to wear a pear-cut ring, but it's most often worn with the point facing the fingertip. Many feel this creates a flattering, elongating effect on the hand.
What happens if my engagement ring doesn't fit or I change my mind after receiving it?
You can return or exchange your ring within 30 days of delivery, provided it's in its original, unworn condition. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca. We will send you a prepaid shipping label and instructions for sending it back to our Coquitlam studio.
How long does shipping take and is it free to the United States?
Yes, shipping is free for this ring to both Canada and the US. We provide free shipping on all orders over $60 CAD to Canada/US and over $110 CAD to the UK/EU. Standard shipping to North America typically takes between 5 and 15 business days to arrive.
