Cushion-Cut Diamond Halo Ring with Eternity Band
Styles such as a cushion-cut diamond ring make a really good choice for an engagement ring. Not only is this a really beautiful cut, but it is also quite versatile. We are typically accustomed to seeing this cut in vintage-style jewlery, but you can use it in any style. It is an elegant cut that allows the stone to show off its inner clarity and quality. And it has a timeless look and feel which means it will never go out of style. The ring we feature here actually boasts three different classic styles in one. It features the cushion-cut stone, the halo, and the eternity band. These come together to create something as meaningful as it is beautiful.
Beyond being lovely, this is a ring that can stand the test of time. It is made from only the finest materials. The white gold is strong and durable. The cushion-cut diamond is of the highest grade and shows its beautiful fire in the sunlight. Accents stones that make up the halo and the eternity band are cut to maximize the amount of sparkle they give off. This beautiful ring will stand the test of time both in terms of how it looks as well as how high quality the materials are.
How to Choose An Engagement Ring
There are many things you will want to think about when choosing an engagement ring. You will need to set a budget. And, you will also need to consider style and what you find most appealing. We make the case below that choosing a classic and timeless style makes the most sense for an engagement ring. However, the ultimate decision is, of course, up to you. Once you have these basics nailed down, you will need to consider your lifestyle. This will play an important role in what you end up choosing.
Ask yourself about your career and hobbies. Do they require you to use your hands a lot? Are there a lot of active pursuits you take part in? If the answer to these questions is yes, you will want to choose something simple and rather unobtrusive. This means not a lot of stone sticking up from the band. However, if these considerations do not apply to you, you have a lot more leeway in what you choose. The cushion-cut diamond ring we feature here isn’t too obtrusive, but if you really use your hands a lot, you might want to remove the ring before working.
Why Quality Matters
You might think that the larger the stone you can afford the better. But this isn’t exactly the case. You can get away with subpar or lesser quality stones in some applications, but you really don’t want to scrimp on your engagement ring. And, with the style of ring we feature here, choosing a lesser quality stone is a huge mistake. That is because it is in the cushion cut. This cut is not one that is meant to create a ton of sparkle. Rather, it is meant to maximize the amount of fire, as well as show the clarity and depth of the stone. A subpar stone will show any and all imperfections. Not to mention, if you choose a lower-quality stone, the look of the whole ring will be off.
Also, if you want your ring to stand the test of time, it makes sense to invest in quality materials. You will be wearing this ring every day for the rest of your life. This means you will need something that can withstand the rigors of everyday life. Poor quality metals will lose their shape or even break. Cheap diamonds can crack as well. And, if you want to hand the ring down for future generations to enjoy, you will want to choose something of decent quality.
The Case for Classic Styles
It might be tempting to choose a trendy engagement ring because, well, who doesn’t want to be at the cutting-edge of fashion? The problem is that trends come and go. Trends can come and go in a matter of months! You are supposed to wear your engagement ring every day for the rest of your life. The last thing you want is for your ring to fall out of style. Replacing it is not cheap and there is a lot of meaning in keeping the same piece your whole life. It is for this reason that we highly recommend choosing a classic and timeless style for your engagement ring. Trendy jewelry can have its place, but this isn’t it.
The thing about timeless styles is that they are, well, timeless. They have a look and feel about them that just always looks great. Regardless of trends, these styles will always be fashionable. Just think about the classic little black dress. It doesn’t matter what the current trends are, this is still a great look. There are many options for classic styles. And choosing classic styles doesn’t mean sacrificing your own personal style. The cushion-cut ring we feature here is a unique blending of three classic styles that come together to make something quite special, yet still timeless.
The Cushion-Cut Diamond
The cushion-cut diamond is an elegant and stylish cut. It is incredibly popular for engagement rings and other pieces of fine jewlery. This cut is essentially a square with rounded corners. There is a range of acceptable lengths and ratios for this cut. This means that you can choose a square shape, or a more rectangular one if you prefer that look. The more rectangular the stone, the more it can add a slimming effect to your fingers.
Not only is this an elegant stone, but it also has a timeless and classic look. It is this quality that makes it really attractive for an engagement ring. While other cuts are known for their sparkle, this cut is known for its fire. Fire refers to rainbow flashes of light that reflect off the facets of the stone. It is a different quality than sparkle, but no less beautiful.
A lot of people like the vintage look and feel of the cushion-cut diamond. But it also works with modern, Art Deco, and other styles as well. Its versatility is another reason for its popularity.
Halos
Halos are a popular addition to many rings. Not only does it add some refinement, but it also adds some extra sparkle and shine. And since this ring features a cushion-cut diamond, you will get most of your sparkle from your accent stones. One of the great things about this style is that it works with pretty much any diamond cut. You can even have halos on square cuts with solid angles, though it tends to be what we call a hidden halo. With the round corners of the cushion-cut stone, you can have a traditional halo, such as we see here.
Basically, a halo is a round of smaller accent stones that will encircle the main stone of the ring. Most often these are diamonds, but they do not have to be. These smaller stones are often in a cut that offers the maximum amount of sparkle. The engagement ring that we feature here boasts round brilliant-cut diamonds as the accent stones for the halo. This cut is meant to maximize the amount of light refraction and thus sparkle. It offsets the fire and depth of the cushion-cut stone beautifully.
Eternity Bands
The eternity band is a really lovely, but also meaningful style. You will often see the halo band as a wedding band. But, it can also take its place in an engagement ring. The cushion-cut diamond ring we feature here boasts a half eternity band. This style is, in essence, a band that has inset diamonds that go around part or all of the band. There are many configurations, but most commonly you’ll see full, two-thirds, or half eternity bands. This refers to how far around the band the diamonds will go. While the full eternity band looks great, a lot of people find it to be uncomfortable. For this reason, half and two-thirds eternity bands are the most popular.
Another great thing about this style is that it adds some extra glitz and shine to the ring. That’s never a bad thing! And, it also has some symbolism that makes it a great choice for an engagement or wedding ring. The eternity band can symbolize the couple’s union for the rest of time. This is a really beautiful sentiment that is a great way to represent a long-term relationship.
Elegant and Versatile
It is hard to say enough about this beautiful ring. The cushion-cut stone is large and flawless. That means you can see the depth and clarity of this high-grade stone. We should mention that, since the cushion cut is meant to show off the fire of the stone, you want to prioritize quality. Any flaw or imperfection in the stone will be readily apparent with this cut. So it makes sense to spend more on a quality stone. You will want to make sure that you get the best quality stone you can afford, not simply the largest. And with the halo and the half eternity band, you actually get three different styles in one ring.
What better way to have a ring that has timeless appeal but that still has a unique look. By pairing these classic styles, you get a ring that is beautiful, unique, and still timeless. It looks great with a wide range of fashions as well. This means, that even if your style changes over time, the ring will still look great with whatever you choose. We can’t ensure that we will have the same sense of style our entire lives, so this is really a great quality.
A Real Stunner with Meaning
There are many reasons to love the cushion-cut diamond ring with the halo and half eternity band. First and foremost, it is incredibly beautiful. It makes for a really eye-catching and stylish engagement ring. The classic and timeless look of this cut makes it perfect for a variety of styles.

And since it has such a classic look and feel, you know that it is a style that will stand the test of time. Even if your personal style changes, you have the peace of mind that this ring will still look great.
And since it is made from such high-quality materials, it is a good value as well. This is a ring that you can easily hand down to your daughter for her eventual wedding. What a way to make family memories! Not to mention, the ring already has a lot of symbolism and meaning. The eternity band, we saw above, is a great representation of two lives becoming one forever. This gives the ring a deeper meaning than something that simply looks pretty.
In Closing
Selecting the perfect engagement ring is a pretty important task. You want to make sure you go in with as much information as possible. This will help to ensure that you are happy with what you ultimately choose. So you will want to take into account your sense of style as well as your lifestyle, as this will help guide the type and price range you are looking for. We make a solid case for why choosing classic or timeless styles makes the most sense for an engagement ring. The last thing you want is your engagement ring to go out of style.
