Transform Family Cushion Cut Engagement Rings with a Halo Setting
Many couples are lucky enough to have a family heirloom to represent their engagement. Cushion cut engagement rings are passed down through generations often, as the cut is both classic and timeless. Some of these couples decide to further personalize their engagement ring by taking the heirloom's diamond and placing it in a new setting, creating a halo engagement ring. Doing so allows them to honor the family's tradition, while starting one of their own. Many online and brick-and-mortar jewelry stores will help couples create the perfect halo engagement rings from existing diamonds, but few offer the customer service and competitive pricing of Emma Parker & Co.
At EmmaParkerDiamonds.com, shoppers will find dozens of different styles of halo engagement rings. A halo engagement ring features a border of diamonds around a center stone. This style of setting emphasizes the stone's brilliance and sparkle, and it increases the appearance of its size. Smaller, cushion cut engagement rings that are family heirlooms are often turned into halo engagement rings, for these reasons alone. Halo engagement rings are available in a variety of vintage and contemporary styles, as split shank and/or pave engagement rings.
Settings that turn cushion cut engagement rings into halo engagement rings range from a starting price of $624 to a starting price of $4,200. The $624 starting-price settings feature a split shank and pave set with 0.16 cttw. of diamonds, and the settings come in 14k and 18k white, yellow and pink gold, plus platinum and palladium. Diamond color is G, with a clarity of SI. They can hold a round center stone of 0.5 to 2 ct.
The $4,200 starting-price Stardust Split-Shank Pave-Diamond halo engagement rings take a center stone of 1.5 ct and have 1.21 cttw. of diamonds. They come in 18k white and yellow gold, and also platinum by special request. Diamond color is G, with a clarity of VS.
Once shoppers have decided on a specific material and size for the halo engagement ring, and have provided dimensions for the center stone to be placed, they can request a live price quote on the website. And if shoppers have any questions about turning their cushion cut engagement rings into halo engagement rings, they can call 877-446-4030, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (PST) Monday through Friday.

The website also has an extensive education area that walks shoppers through not only the characteristics of a diamond but the grading and reporting processes. Emma Parker & Co. president Tim Andre wants shoppers to be as informed as possible during the purchase of engagement rings, whether they are turning cushion cut engagement rings into halo engagement rings or starting from scratch with one of the company's loose diamonds or many custom-designed engagement rings. Andre created Emma Parker & Co. in 1997 after becoming disheartened with the level of customer service in the engagement ring industry, and with every purchase he aims to raise that level and satisfy his customers. All Emma Parker & Co. jewelry comes with generous lifetime warrantees and guarantees.
There are few things in bridal jewelry more timeless than cushion cut
engagement rings. The cushion shape is one of the most timeless and classic
shapes in which diamonds have been cut. Long before the technology
was developed to create perfectly round diamonds like we have today, the
cushion cut was being used to shape some of history's most beautiful diamonds.
This classic diamond cut is patterned on the 57-facet structure of the round cut, but is usually shaped in a square or slightly rectangular shape with rounded corners. Visually stunning, cushion cut engagement rings have a reputation for being very sparkly and full of fire.
As the design technology has advanced, the mountings created to frame
the timeless cushion diamond shape have become works of art on their own. Many setting styles
include halos, split shanks, and claw-style prongs. Some of the most
beautiful and classic mountings in production today are made specifically
for cushion cut center stones.
Cushion cut engagement rings also have the unique ability to look amazing in large
carat sizes. Rather than appearing overbearing, larger cushion cut diamonds carry their size with
dignity and class, and framing a large cushion cut stone in a classic,
diamond encrusted setting can enhance the stone and turn the whole ring into
an elegant showpiece.
The cushion cut engagement rings we carry have all been hand-selected from the works of the most talented jewelry designers, and every one represents the finest skill in craftsmanship and dedication to detail. Before your ring is shipped to you, it will undergo a full quality inspection, in which every stone in the ring is checked under magnification, and the polish of the metal is carefully scrutinized.
We will not sell any ring that does not meet our standards for design, and we will not deliver any ring that does not meet our standards for quality and workmanship. Emma Parker & Co. covers every engagement ring setting with a full Lifetime Warranty Against Manufacturer Defect.
