A halo with a border, and shoulders shaped like leaves.

Most halos leave the small stones exposed at the outer edge — pavé running to the rim with nothing beyond it. This one is framed: a polished band of metal encircles the halo, closing the outline and finishing it like a picture frame.

Why the frame matters

It's protective before it's pretty. The outer edge of a halo is where the damage happens — it's the widest point of the ring and the part that meets doorframes, handbag clasps and desk edges. Exposed pavé there means the smallest, most vulnerable stones sit at the point of highest impact.

A polished rim standing slightly proud takes that contact instead. The stones sit in a protected channel behind it.

It also does something optical. An unframed halo fades into the finger at its edge; a framed one draws a hard bright line around the whole head, which makes the ring read as a single deliberate shape rather than a stone with decoration around it.

The shoulders

The band doesn't run straight into the head. It swells into a navette either side — a pointed oval, the shape of a leaf — each set with two rows of stones, then tapers back to a slim polished shank.

Navette shoulders solve a problem plain tapered shoulders have on a halo ring: a wide head above a narrow band can look top-heavy. Widening the shoulders at the midpoint gives the eye a transition, so the head sits on something rather than perching on it.

And they end. The stones stop where the leaf stops, leaving the bottom half of the band plain — better for wear, better for resizing, and it means a wedding band sits against smooth metal.

Underneath

The side view is where the work shows. The halo sits on an open gallery of arched supports, cut away in four directions, with a slim bridge running beneath the centre stone. Light reaches the stone's base from every angle, and the head stays light despite its width.

Wearing it

This is the more decorative of our two round halos. Where Halo of Day is the archetype — clean, classic, the ring everyone pictures — the Laurel is for someone who wants shape and detail in the band, not just the head.

Hold them side by side and the difference is obvious: one is a halo, the other is a halo ring, designed as a whole object.

It takes a plain band well, and a contoured band even better, since the navettes leave a clean straight edge at the base.

What is moissanite?

Moissanite is a gemstone in its own right — silicon carbide — not an imitation of anything. It was first found in a meteorite crater, and the stones used in jewellery today are grown in a laboratory because natural moissanite is far too rare to set.

Two properties matter. It is 9.25 on the Mohs scale, harder than any gemstone except diamond, which is why it survives daily wear without the chipping that softer stones suffer. And its dispersion is roughly two and a half times that of diamond — it splits white light into visible spectral colour far more strongly. That is the fire you see: flashes of blue, green and orange where a diamond of the same size returns mostly white.

We say moissanite plainly on every page. It is not sold here as a diamond and never will be.

Why silver, and not gold?

Because the stone is the point. A heavy gold setting adds a great deal of money for metal that sits underneath the stone and is barely seen.

Rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver gives the same bright white-gold finish, keeps the budget in the stone and the setting, and our lifetime replating means the finish stays white for as long as you own the ring. If you would prefer this design in gold, message us on WhatsApp and we'll quote it.

Marked inside

CERELINE is engraved on the inner shank, where only the wearer sees it. Not ornament — provenance.

Made to order

Made in your size after you order, in 7 to 15 days. The shoulders are set only partway and the base of the band is plain, so resizing within a reasonable range is possible.

Care

Rhodium plating doesn't tarnish, but it does wear. With daily use expect to need replating every 12 to 18 months — sooner if you're hard on your hands. It's free, for life. Store the ring in its box when you aren't wearing it, and put it on last, after perfume and hand cream.

The framed halo is easier to keep bright than an open one, because the rim keeps residue off the stone edges. The gallery is where to pay attention — it's open, ornate, and directly above your finger. Once a month, warm water, a drop of washing-up liquid, and a soft brush worked up into the arches from below.

Remove for chlorinated water, household chemicals and fragrance.

Frequently asked questions

Does it come with a certificate?
Yes. The centre stone ships with its GRA certificate. The halo and shoulder stones are moissanite as well, but a separate certificate for every small stone isn't practical, so we certify the centre.

Is moissanite the same as cubic zirconia?
No. Cubic zirconia is softer, clouds with wear and has far less fire. Moissanite is 9.25 on the Mohs scale and holds its brilliance for life. They are not comparable materials and they are not comparably priced.

Will the plating wear off?
Eventually, yes — that is true of every rhodium-plated piece, at any price, including white gold. With daily wear expect 12 to 18 months. Ours is free to replate for life, so it is never a reason not to buy.

How do I find my ring size?
We make sizes 10 to 20. Use the size guide on this page, or message us on WhatsApp at +92 371 4323294 and we'll walk you through measuring.
