Fashion changes with each season but halo pave engagement rings tend to be consistent each year. You have the various metals to work with, such as white gold, yellow gold, platinum and palladium, and several diamond shapes ranging from round to princess cut, radiant to heart, pear and oval, and marquise, cushion and emerald cuts. Where the trends come from usually originates with the designers who create the masterpieces to be worn for a lifetime, and celebrities who “supersize” a particular style that is featured on the cover of People magazine.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) include the following. Does the Center Stone Have to be Round? Many people assume that the center stone for a halo setting has to be round but the diamond can be any shape. The halo or surrounding diamonds just have to border the entire stone for it to be considered a halo setting. Is this a popular setting? No, it is not one of the most common settings but then again not all jewelry stores carry the pear halo engagement ring. They are special and unique and they are a great alternative to a simple everyday solitaire setting. This setting can also look vintage or modern depending on the center stone and other factors.

Despite the recent high-profile break-ups of Hollywood’s leading ladies, celebrities with seemingly happy marriages do influence what brides request when shopping for their dream pave halo engagement rings. Heidi Klum’s ring with a dazzling (and huge) yellow/canary diamond is on many “lust lists.” Beyonce’s massive emerald-cut set in a split shank is requested in a smaller and more affordable price range at jewelry and engagement ring stores across the country, and Fergie’s round diamond in a modern style shows that even creative, innovative entertainers still love to stick with tradition once in a while.

Honesty is the best policy, as long as your fiance know this and she is alright with this then goes ahead. I find it really strange that a clarity enhanced diamond could be graded a VS 2 that is not possible! The diamond should still have a cert! That’s my first concern. Diamonds have grading certificates for a reason, YOUR PROTECTION! Accuracy is important to the beauty and value of your gemstone. Usually to bother enhancing a stone the clarity or inclusions have to be pretty visible. Thus they drill holes to the flaws and bleach out the dark inclusions and usually fill the holes or large inclusions that break the surface up with a compatible material. The only problem is that this makes the diamond unstable you can’t work on the ring. It can’t be cleaned in a real ultrasonic or steamed and it needs to be. Diamond is magnetic to oil and it needs to be heated to release the oil from the stone. There is no way to care for your diamond like a natural diamond. Find a nice GIA cert diamond SI 2 in clarity and F- G in color with a good make, or an EGL SI1 EF as they are much more leaning in there grading.
