How does a cushion halo ring differ from a cushion cut ring?
Indeed, they are different. A cushion cut ring features a center stone that is cushion cut — a variant of the square cut characterized by rounded corners. Conversely, a cushion halo ring may have a round center stone, with only the halo taking on the cushion shape.
Why is the cushion halo ring so appealing?
If the cushion halo ring’s blend of a round center diamond with squarish accent stones aligns with your taste, its aesthetic appeal can be quite significant. The variety in shapes adds more visual intrigue compared to repeating the same shape, all the while offering the primary advantage of a halo setting: creating the illusion of a larger center stone.
A cushion cut halo engagement ring can maintain an angular feel, given that cushion cuts are akin to princess cut diamonds. (Recall that a princess cut features a square shape with pointed corners and numerous small facets.) However, utilizing a round center stone in a cushion halo ring imparts a softer and more feminine touch.
Does Artful Bracelets offer cushion halo rings?
Absolutely, we offer a diverse selection of exquisite and unique cushion halo rings. (However, we often refer to them as “squarish” to prevent any confusion.)
The beauty of this style lies in the ability to pair it with a distinctive band or additional accent diamonds, enhancing its visual appeal and uniqueness. For instance, our Swaying Split Shank Halo Engagement Ring features a gracefully curved band with micro-pavé accent stones that perfectly complement the cushion halo.
