Make a statement with the Studio Heiress Halo.

We're starting off with a statement piece in the form of the Studio Heiress Halo Diamond Ring, which comes in either 18k rose or yellow gold or platinum and features a massive round-cut diamond framed by a halo of yet more diamonds, set off by a band of, you guessed it, more tiny diamonds. The eye-catching center stone can be purchased in either 0.39 total carat weight or 0.41 ct.

Keep things low-key (but lavish) with a hidden halo.

If you like the idea of a halo, or an additional ring of diamonds, on your engagement ring but don't want to take the limelight away from your center stone, an engagement ring with a sneakily hidden halo might be for you. The Six-Prong Solitaire Plus Hidden Halo ring comes with a simple metal band and a six-prong setting for a brilliant stone, but also includes a slender ring of close-set diamonds just beneath the setting for extra shine. The ring comes in 14k silver, yellow, or rose gold, or platinum.

Shop a ring that's simple in silhouette but multilayered in its shine.

Available in white gold and platinum, the delicate Eternal Riviera band comes with a setting for a round stone and tiny diamonds studding the band nearly all the way around. The prong is extremely simple, but the nature of the diamond-forward band means that you won't sacrifice glamor for simplicity's sake.
