Halo sapphire engagement rings: a natural sapphire centre ringed by diamonds so the centre reads larger and brighter, made to order in our own workshop. The halo suits sapphires especially well because the white frame sets off the colour.

Setting
Halo, bezel, solitaire, three-stone and toi et moi compared, and which settings flatter a coloured stone.
Size
Why a round 1 ct sapphire is about 6.0 mm across, smaller than a 1 ct diamond, and why to buy by millimetres.
Complete guide
Colour, origin, heated or unheated, settings and honest Australian budgets, all in one guide.
Sizing
AU and UK letter sizes against US sizes and millimetres, two ways to measure at home, and a size check before we cast.
All our gemstones are 100% natural, and we only sell and source earth-mined natural gemstones and diamonds. Each ring is made to order in your choice of 9K to 21K gold, with bespoke commissions handcrafted in our Pitt Street workshop in Sydney, and an independent valuation certificate is available with any purchase for insurance purposes. Prefer to start from the stone? Design your ring around any loose sapphire in the house, or book a consultation at our Sydney showroom or by video.
The ring of small stones makes the centre stone appear larger and brighter, adds sparkle from every angle and protects the centre stone's edges.
Yes. That is one of the most common remodels we make; see our remodelling service.
