Halo settings are ever so popular. And versatile too! Take a look at this top-selling James Allen Pav&eacute halo setting for a cushion cut diamond and see how shoppers have customized this setting to their tastes. 

James Allen is known for their custom halo settings. Unlike other online jewelers who will pop your selected stone into their pre-made setting, James Allen customizes your setting exactly to the dimensions of your selected diamond. This results in a custom engagement ring with no awkward spaces or gaps between setting and center diamond. Whether you select a round, cushion or asscher-cut diamond, James Allen will craft a custom setting to fit it perfectly for a custom look engagement ring. Another reason why I recommend James Allen for online engagement rings.

A Rose Gold Cushion Cut Pav&eacute Halo

The number 1 most searched engagement ring term right now is “Rose Gold”. The soaring popularity of rose gold is reflected in many recent celebrity engagement rings, including Lauren Conrad, Blake Lively, and Bachelorette Desiree Hartsock.

Rose Gold Cushion Halo

Why is rose gold so popular? The resurgence of rose gold in the fashion world – rose gold buttons and zippers have been popping up on clothes and accessories everywhere – paved the way for this classic metal to make a comeback. The romantic warm glow rose gold creates appeals to many.

But maybe the reasons are more practical. A rose gold setting is more forgiving with a diamond in the K color grade. Rose gold’s warmth complements the slight color variations in a K color diamond in a way white gold can not. Picking a K color diamond allows you to get a larger size diamond than you can afford in the colorless D-J range.
