A group of diamonds arranged around a feature stone is called a “Cluster”. Halo cluster diamond rings have been popular for some time now. This is a style that never seems to go out of fashion. The halo cluster is one of those ring layouts that just works, time and time again. It is a classic design.
Almost every diamond cut shape can be used for a halo cluster ring design. The size and range of diamond and sapphire options is pretty limitless for a cluster ring.
Different Cluster Designs
There are three kinds of cluster rings. There is the halo cluster, the traditional claw set basket and a cluster where the diamonds are of equal size.
The halo cluster has a halo of small diamonds around the main gemstone. The detailing in the way the diamonds are held in place is very small. This gives an antique look to the ring design.
The smaller diamonds used in a halo cluster can all be the same size and shape, or they can be graduated. They can also be a mix of cut shapes and sizes. We can create different setting styles for holding them in place. All these variations can give rise to some very unique designs in halo diamond rings.
The simple traditional claw set basket design will generally have fewer, but larger diamonds around the main gemstone. When we make this design, the engagement ring has a more flower-like look.
Cluster rings with gemstones of equal size also look very much like a flower. A beautiful design layout that is not so common these days. Fashions come and go, and at the moment it is more usual for a cluster ring to have a central gemstone that is larger than the surrounding diamonds.
Traditionally, cluster designs were claw set wire basket-type settings, or the settings were carved out of a circular plate.
Clusters can be grain set, claw set, channel set, rub over set, bezel set, micro claw set, or any combination of these different types. Really it is up to what the ring designer and the client think looks good.
A Halo Cluster Is A Great Choice If You Prefer a Larger Looking Ring
A halo ring gives you the opportunity to have a larger looking ring than might otherwise be possible with just a big single sapphire or diamond. This is mainly because smaller diamonds are less costly than larger diamonds. If you choose a halo cluster design, it means you can often have a greater level of diamond content for any given budget.
Although you do have to think about the overall ring size. It is possible to go too big if the central stone is very large. How comfortable the ring will be to wear is also a consideration when you are designing the ring.
