The History of the Halo Design

Loved by so many today the origin of the halo ring can actually be traced as far back as the early Georgian era. It was a time of pure grandeur in Europe and the halo became a popular choice with the elite. Diamonds and pearls were used as the centre stones and were decorated with glittering frames of smaller gemstones. This style moved with the times into the Victorian period where they began to use coloured gems to imitate flowers, adding a touch of nature.

However, the Halo that we know today holds more similarities with the indulgence of the 1920’s art deco period. The chic design was a truly stand out piece, creating an appearance similar to an opulent picture frame.
