Halo ring is a "halo" around the diamond. One example:

Eternity bands are when the diamonds go all the way around. Example:

Ah, that is the wedding band that matches the halo engagement ring setting. That wedding band also matches this:

This is a halo. Halo is the shape around the diamond, not around the ring itself. Halo rings don't have to be round only, the shape of the stone could be any shape.
