Paloma Lab-Grown Diamond Oval Halo Engagement Ring

Yes, an expertly crafted halo setting will increase the overall look and brilliance of your engagement ring. A halo setting surrounds your centre stone with a frame of smaller diamonds, offering amplified radiance and a greater diamond presence on your hand. Choosing a halo lab-grown diamond engagement ring is the perfect way to attain the enhanced diamond look you’re dreaming of, in a more affordable format than a larger solitaire stone.

Yes, halo engagement rings are one of the most timeless styles. Halo rings have been popular for more than three centuries; evolving in style and craftsmanship over time. While halo rings of any shape will always be in style, choosing a contemporary form such as an oval halo engagement ring offers a subtle update and a point of difference. Ultimately, it’s important to choose the engagement ring design that best speaks to your personal preferences and style.

Oval cut and round cut diamonds are similar in their timeless, curved profiles and impressive sparkle, but there are a few ways in which they differentiate.

Round diamonds are specifically crafted for maximum light return, and display the greatest amount of brilliance, fire, and scintillation. Oval diamonds are also a type of brilliant cut and display beautiful radiance, but side-by-side, an expertly cut round diamond will show more sparkle.

Oval diamonds are usually preferred by those seeking a contemporary and slightly out-of-the-ordinary choice for their engagement ring. Oval diamonds also feature an elongated profile and a larger surface area when viewed from above, meaning they typically take up more space on your finger and appear larger for their carat weight.

Both white gold and platinum are beautiful, high-quality and luxurious choices for your engagement ring setting, so it ultimately comes down to your personal preference. There are a few ways in which white gold and platinum differentiate.

Platinum is a naturally white metal, meaning its colour will always remain consistent. White gold is a blend of pure gold and alloy metals, coated in rhodium to create a bright, white appearance and increase its durability. This makes white gold more lustrous and vivid than platinum, but it does require rhodium re-plating over time.

Platinum is also an extremely dense and durable metal, however it can be slightly more susceptible to surface scratches, developing a patina that requires polishing to restore its shine. 

Yes, at Futurae all of our lab-grown diamond engagement rings are accompanied by an IGI certification which independently verifies the centre diamond’s quality, as well as a Futurae Certificate of Authenticity. 

We proudly offer a three-year warranty from the date of purchase against manufacturing defects for our rings, as well as complimentary resizing within the first 12 months. Resizing services include cleaning and polishing of your ring. 

Use our Ring Sizer for help to determine your correct fit. If you wish to attend an in-person appointment at our Bangalow studio, we can also offer professional ring sizing for you.

Remember that your ring size is different across each finger, and can also differ between both hands, so it’s important to measure for the specific finger on which you’ll wear your ring. Your size will also naturally fluctuate slightly over time, or when changing between hot and cold temperatures. To ensure a comfortable fit, make sure your ring is snug enough that it feels secure and won’t slide around; but not so tight that you’re unable to easily take it off and on, or that it will become restrictive.
