Jewelry details
A 14K white gold jewelry set of one ring and one pair of earrings, all three pieces centered on a large round lab-grown diamond surrounded by a halo of stones. The three center stones are the same size and set in the same four-prong style, so worn together, your hand and ears look made for each other.
The set has three center stones and one hundred forty-two round lab-grown accent diamonds: fifty on the ring and ninety-two on the earrings. It's a set for occasions that call for full glamour, from wedding ceremonies and receptions to major anniversaries.
The two pieces in the set
The ring has its center stone inside a snug halo of stones, raised on curved arches that leave the sides open. The band splits into two branches, each set with a row of small stones running up to the setting. See every angle on the 14K white gold lab-grown diamond halo ring page.
The earrings have their center stones surrounded by two halos, the outer one larger than the inner so the edge of the earring doesn't get lost. Behind is an openwork frame with a sturdy threaded screw back that holds a stone-heavy earring face. See details on the 14K white gold lab-grown diamond halo earrings page.
Why these two pieces go together as a set
What links the ring and earrings is the center stone. All three are the same size, round, and held by four neatly rounded prongs, so brilliance and size look uniform from ear to hand. When choosing stones for the set, the workshop also picks three stones with matching color and clarity so no piece looks more tinted than the others.
The halo is the second link. The ring uses one larger halo so the center stone stands out on the finger, while the earrings use two smaller halos so the earring face looks round and full from a distance. The stones are arranged slightly differently to suit each place they're worn, but overall it's the same look: a center stone within a halo of light.
The earring face is a little larger than the ring head. That's intentional: earrings are seen from farther away than a ring, so they need to be larger to balance the ring when seen side by side in photos or by others.
Three things to check when you receive the set
Lay the three pieces side by side under white light: the three center stones should be equally white, none yellower or duller.
Look straight at each piece: the halo on the ring and the two halos on the earrings should be evenly round, the stones tightly set with no wide gaps.
Screw the earring backs on and off a few times: the thread should turn smoothly without catching, and with the back screwed tight the earring face should stand upright on the earlobe.
Buying the full set or separately
The two pieces are still sold separately; you can choose the ring first and add the earrings later. Buying the full set at once has the advantage that the workshop selects all three center stones together, so color and brilliance match better than pairing them up later.
Honest points to consider first
Every piece in the set is a statement piece, with large ring and earring faces. Worn daily in a workplace that calls for discretion it may feel a bit much; the set is best for parties, weddings and events.
With so many stones, the earrings are fairly heavy compared with studs; if you have thin earlobes, try them on before choosing.
Both branches of the ring band are fully set, so it's hard to resize much after it's made; get your size measured carefully from the start.
Many small stones and gaps mean all three pieces collect dust and lotion easily and need cleaning more often than plain jewelry.
14K white gold and lab-grown diamonds
The whole set is made in 14K white gold, harder than 18K, so it securely holds hundreds of tiny gold beads around the stones and withstands being put on and taken off many times. It's rhodium plated for an even bright white across all three pieces. The plating thins over time, especially inside the ring and on the earring posts; when you notice a slight yellow tint, bring it in for re-plating, and re-plate the whole set together so all three pieces stay the same color.
All center and accent stones are lab-grown diamonds, with the same structure, hardness and brilliance as mined diamonds — indistinguishable to the naked eye. With three large center stones in one set, choosing lab-grown diamonds makes the whole set far more affordable than mined stones of the same size. Center stone size, color and clarity are listed in the jewelry details table.
Choosing your ring size and wearing the earrings right
On ring sizing, there's one point many people get wrong with large-headed rings: the head is heavier than the band, so a loose fit makes the face twist to one side. Choose a snug size, measure in the afternoon when your fingers have fully expanded, and make sure it still slides over your knuckle.
With the earrings, screw the backs just tight enough for the earrings to stand upright — don't overtighten, as it hurts the ear and wears the thread faster. If the earring face tips forward, you can add a small silicone pad behind it.
Who it suits, and when to wear it
This set suits a bride who wants a matching set for her wedding day, or anyone who wants to treat themselves to a substantial set for important occasions. Worn together, the ring and earrings create full glamour; on ordinary days you can still wear them separately — just the ring or just the earrings both look beautiful.

A halo design sets the center stone within a ring of accent stones, which makes the face of the jewelry look larger than the center stone really is. You can read more about where the name halo comes from and why this style makes the stone look bigger.
