We have heard the phrase ‘put a ring on it’ but fashionistas and designers have given the phrase a whirl and changed it to ‘put a ring around it. This is exactly how one would describe the ‘halo’ fashion trend. In other words, it is a gemstone or a diamond that is surrounded by smaller stones in a circle. This fashion trend is ringing all kinds of style bells as they not only provide an angelic appeal in the form of a halo band around the center stone but they also protect the stone from everyday wear and tear. This trend, however, is not new, it is quite vintage. Originating in the early 1900s, this style has found itself to be a re-emerging trend over the last few years and is now burning hot and causing rage in the fashion world. Not only rings, halo style has been adopted in all categories of jewelry such as necklaces, elegant bracelets, earrings, etc. The popularity of the style has also made designers think of and create double halo pieces of jewelry.
Why are they popular: We see many celebs, royals, and red carpet walkers drip in halo jewelry. Some of the most prominent members of the royal family have been seen sporting this look. Princess Diana’s engagement ring was halo-style and this is similar to Kate Middleton’s ring as well. Recently, Meghan Markle was seen debuting a pair of Cartier halo earrings in a diamond. The best part about this style is that the shape and size need not be a concerning factor. Whether it is round, oval, pentagon, or any other shape, halos can be made to look chic and elegant. Owing to the smaller stones encircling the center one, the one in the middle seems much larger than it really is thus maximizing its brilliance and magnifying the sparkle.
