The halo on this ring isn't a solid circle. It's a scalloped crown of individual diamonds, each held in its own small cradle. This design gives the ring a distinctly floral silhouette from above, framing the centre stone without completely enclosing it.
A large, round brilliant-cut diamond sits at the centre, held securely by four prongs. It's surrounded by a halo of eighteen smaller round diamonds that follow its shape. The band itself is a split shank, meaning it separates into two fine, polished strands as it meets the halo. This creates open space on either side, drawing your eye to the centre setting. The total diamond weight is 1.79 carats.
We offer this ring in solid 14K or 18K gold. 14K gold is 58.3% pure gold mixed with alloys, which means it's strong enough for a ring you'll wear every single day. The diamonds are set in a French pavé style, with small V-shaped cuts into the metal that hold the stones while exposing their sides to light. The average diamond quality is E/F colour and VVS clarity. For our white gold rings, we add a final layer of rhodium plating for a bright, silvery-white finish.

You'd pick this ring for its presence on the hand. The halo adds significant size and sparkle to the centre stone, but the split shank keeps the design feeling airy and not too heavy. It’s a way to get a classic halo look with a more delicate, architectural band.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the halo on this engagement ring have a scalloped, almost floral look?
That scalloped effect comes from the French pavé setting we use for the halo diamonds. Instead of a solid channel, each diamond is set with tiny, individual prongs carved from the ring itself. This exposes more of each stone to the light and creates that distinct, textured border.
How should I clean a diamond halo ring at home without damaging it?
You can safely clean your ring with a soft-bristled toothbrush, warm water, and a few drops of mild dish soap. Gently scrub around and behind the centre stone and the halo diamonds to remove any buildup. Rinse it thoroughly with clean water and pat it dry with a lint-free cloth.
Does a split shank ring fit differently than a regular single-band ring?
A split shank ring fits according to standard ring sizes, so you should order your usual size. While the band is wider at the top where it splits, the design can actually help prevent the ring from spinning on your finger, keeping the centre stone upright and centred.
What happens if the engagement ring I ordered doesn't fit or I change my mind?
We accept returns within 30 days of delivery for any reason. The ring must be in its original, unworn condition. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we’ll send you a prepaid shipping label and instructions to send it back to our Coquitlam studio.
