The popularity of Halo Rings.. a ??

treysar Ideal Rock Total Posts: 935 Last Post: 4/29/2009 Member Since: 6/5/2004	I’m not in the jewelry industry by any means. I lived in NY and just moved to CT – and I have only seen 3 halo rings in person, on someone’s hand. I have seen them in stores, but I rarely see people wearing them.. There are many MANY halo’s on this website, but sometimes I wonder – are they really that popular “out there” in the real world? Do you see them ob the street a lot?? I'm talking ,on someone's hand, not in a window.. *2 one way tickets and a diamond ring, hell it don't matter what the rain might bring...*

Christa Ideal Rock Total Posts: 613 Last Post: 10/24/2007 Member Since: 8/15/2006	I've wondered this, too. I almost never see them IRL. Most girls seem to have a round or princess solitaire, or a three-stone.

Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,919 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	I've only seen one halo in real life on someone I knew through work. Most people I have seen have a plain solitaire, or a 3 stone with baguettes on the site, or a 3 stone with rounds on the site. Those are the most common settings I have seen locally. ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

mrssalvo Ideal Rock Total Posts: 16,859 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 1/3/2005	my best friend has a halo ring. my 38 year old aunt just recieved an upgrade to a EC halo from her hubby, another friend of mine has a halo and one of the nursury workers at our church had a halo ring on. That's it for me, 4 total. I see mostly solitaires and e-stones, and only a handful of pave rings even though that's what's in all the stores in my area. I do see a lot more solitaire with eternity band combo's though. ----------------------------- A deal is only a deal if you are getting exactly what you want.

MMM Ideal Rock Total Posts: 526 Last Post: 10/12/2009 Member Since: 9/19/2006	Well this is most exciting to hear! I have loved the halo style for the past 2 years (before I found PS) and partly because it was unique and different. However, now that I am addicted to PS I feel like my attraction to halo's isnt infact unique after all (although I am still in LOVE and will be recieving one shortly!!! ) So........ I am GLAD to hear that they are still uncommon in the real world... at least for now!! Yippeee!

littlelysser Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,779 Last Post: 11/17/2009 Member Since: 12/8/2005	Other than my own halo, I haven't really seen any IRL. I have seen some halos with gemstones - actually I should say I've seen one halo with a garnet. Square cut. And for what it is worth, one of the comments I get on my ring is that is it is very unique and unusual. MMM - I think you'll find that what you see on PS definitely isn't the norm!

curlygirl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,306 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 4/9/2005	It's funny because I have been thinking about this for a while. I live in New York City and I have not seen a single halo ring besides my own. I would think that there would be tons of them, judging from the vast amounts we see on this site, but I've never seen another one in person. And when people see mine, they always think it's so unusual. Very interesting...

TravelingGal Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,326 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 12/29/2004	I know someone who has the Tiffany Legacy, and another one of my friends has a round in a square halo. Another has the ritani 3 stone halo, so from where I am sitting, it doesn't seem too uncommon. _______________________ Travel quote of the week: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.

aquarius_ser Cut Rock Total Posts: 269 Last Post: 4/18/2008 Member Since: 4/12/2006	I have never seen anyone wearing a halo as an e-ring. My mom bought one at Macy's for just like a "cheaper" cocktail ring. It makes a smaller center look a lot bigger, so I guess that's cool. I like it but I wouldn't want it for my e-ring, I guess because it does seems more trendy rather than something I would want to wear the rest of my life.

KristyDarling Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,918 Last Post: 10/6/2009 Member Since: 7/27/2005	I don't know ANYONE who has a halo e-ring, nor have I noticed one on strangers in my area (San Francisco)....and believe me, I look! OK, well, I have seen Luckyhonu's halo beauty in person, but she's from PS so that doesn't count. It's odd considering how many of them we see here on PS, though we are definitely not representative of the broader population.

The woman complimented me on my ring and I of course complimented her on her's. We chatted for a while in J Crew while our daughter's were trying on clothes. Of course Ash was like mom, do you always have to talk about jewelry?? Hehe. ____________________________ Piece of cake and a candle. ng gift

KittenKat Cut Rock Total Posts: 454 Last Post: 7/11/2009 Member Since: 3/22/2004	I love my lil halo! I happen to see them somewhat often. My mom has one, and I know quite a few other gals who have halos. One of my dearest friends has her 2.5ct+ Old Miner Cut surrounded by pinks (like mine!) I need to get some pictures of that one :) In Los Angeles, it's pretty common

TanDogMom Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,919 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 11/8/2005	I have never seen one on a person IRL. Lots in stores. However, I'm moving to a nicer part of town in a few months, ooh can't wait for all the jewelry scoping I can do over there! :) Most people I know have white gold or plat solitaires, or rings with small diamond sidestones. I'd really like to have a haloed gemstone ring like a sapphire or light blue stone. I don't think I'd do a haloed diamond for myself, but never say never!

Beacon Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,734 Last Post: 11/9/2009 Member Since: 7/14/2006	I can only quickly think of two. One is not an e-ring, but a haloed pink sapph. The other is an ering and it is a haloed BLUE diamond to die for!! These are both colored stones so it must mean something. I really have not seen any white on white halos around my environment.

Just tiny diamonds set in a six prong plain settings, not a lot of bling to admire here LOL!
