Congrats, you’ve said YES to the love of your life and the halo ring of your dreams! We bet you’re now on a super exciting quest to find a wedding band for your halo engagement ring.
But here’s the thing: Because of their unique design and setting, halo rings are incredibly sparkly. So, narrowing down on a wedding band that balances the brilliance of your ring can be slightly tricky.
Overwhelmed? Don’t be; we’ve solved this mystery for you. We have dished out the details on what to keep in mind while choosing a band and even given a few halo engagement ring and wedding band pairings. No matter your engagement ring shape or style, we bet you’ll end up with the perfect band for your halo engagement ring.
First, let’s understand more about a halo ring’s design and setting.
Everything About Halo Engagement Rings
Unlike solitaire rings, halo engagement rings are big on brilliance. (See: halo vs solitaire) The centre stone’s shine is amplified since it’s encircled by a row (or sometimes two rows) of smaller diamonds. Therefore, we suggest you look for a wedding band that complements your sparkler rather than competing with it.
Major Considerations While Choosing a Wedding Band for Halo Ring
When finding the perfect wedding band for your unique halo engagement ring, the most important thing is to consider how you want to wear your rings. If you plan to sport only your wedding ring, you can go with pretty much any band. However, if you plan to wear your halo engagement ring and band together, opt for a band with similar aesthetics to your sparkler. Also, take into account your personal preference and style because let’s face it; your wedding band symbolises your eternal love and commitment to your partner and it’s something you’ll wear forever.
On a budget? Then, select a lab-grown diamond wedding band for your halo ring. They are optically, physically and chemically similar to real diamonds and are cheaper in comparison, making them a great diamond alternative. You can also consider coloured gems to add a pop of uniqueness and meaning to your stack, all while saving a pretty penny. Additionally, we urge you to consider the diamond or gemstone shape of your halo diamond engagement ring and even match the width of the band to your sparkler to create a cohesive look.

Exquisite Wedding Bands to Complement Your Halo Ring Styles
1. Classic Minimalism
Your halo engagement ring was meant to be seen. So, if you want your sparkler to be in focus, then simple band styles can be excellent options. Since they’re understated, they can help balance out the sparkle by creating an interesting visual contrast and adding intrigue to your stack. And who doesn’t want to sport a unique ring stack, right?
P.S. We’ve found you wedding bands—plain as well as minimally studded ones. So, whether you want to shop for a white gold wedding band, rose gold wedding band, platinum wedding band or even get your hands on a women’s yellow gold wedding band, you can easily do so!

2. Contoured Perfection
Perhaps you love the idea of your women’s halo ring and your wedding band fitting together like two pieces of a puzzle. Or you have an elongated cut like an oval or pear. If so, you should get your hands on one of our contoured bands.
Contoured or curved bands mirror the curves of your sparkler and can help your rings rest flush so they’re snug and parallel when worn together. Curved bands for halo rings also rule out the chances of the two rings rubbing against each other, thereby minimising the chances of accidental knocks and chipping. A total win!

3. Balanced Brilliance
Just because you need to choose a wedding band that doesn’t compete with your sparkler does not mean you completely forgo brilliance. It’s okay to choose a simple pavé diamond wedding band that mimics the sparkle of a halo but isn’t overwhelming or vying for attention. Additionally, you can pick gemstone wedding bands if you want to personalize your stack with a pop of colour!

4. Matching Styles
Maybe your halo engagement ring has a lot of design elements. Or you prefer a wedding band that can hold its own when worn solo. In that case, opt for a wedding band that echoes the aesthetic and has similar design elements to your engagement ring.
So, if your halo ring features delicate filigree detailing, select a wedding band with a matching filigree border. Or, if you have a twisted shank, pick a wedding band with a twisted design to create visual harmony between the two rings.

5. Complementary Cuts
We’d be lying if we said we didn’t love that perfectly matched look that blends in with our halo engagement ring. The easiest way to pull this off is to opt for a wedding band with the same diamond or gemstone shape as your sparkler. So, if your ring features a round-cut diamond, go for a round-cut wedding band. Similarly, oval wedding bands for oval halo rings and princess-cut wedding bands for square diamond halo rings.
