In the ever-evolving world of fine jewellery, certain trends capture the essence of elegance and sophistication, rising above their own ephemeral nature.
As we step into 2025, one trend that is set to dominate the scene is the halo ring. At Calla Lily, we are betting on this exquisite design to be the most sought-after choice for the year! Join us as we delve into the allure of halo rings and why they are here to stay.
What is a Halo Ring?
A halo ring is an interesting design where a central gemstone is encircled by a “halo” of smaller accent stones. This arrangement not only enhances the brilliance of the centre stone but also creates a stunning visual impact. The halo setting can be crafted in various shapes, from classic round to modern geometric designs, making it a versatile choice for any style preference.
This ring design dates back to the Georgian era, where it was popularised for its ability to seemingly heighten the size and “drama” of the main stone. Over the centuries, it has evolved, incorporating various design elements and gemstone choices.
In Singapore, the demand for halo rings has seen a significant rise, reflecting its very diverse cultural background and sophisticated living style. Our clients appreciate our “intentional design” and the ability to personalise their rings, ensuring each piece is a true reflection of their personalities!
Engagement Ring Trends for 2025
As we look ahead to 2025, several engagement ring trends are emerging, each reflecting the unique tastes and preferences of modern couples:
Vintage-Inspired Designs: Rings that evoke the charm of bygone eras are making a comeback. Intricate details and antique settings are perfect for those who appreciate history and romance.
Unique Gemstones: While diamonds remain a popular choice, coloured gemstones are gaining popularity for their unique beauty and personal significance.
Toi Et Moi Rings: This romantic design features two gemstones, symbolising the union of two souls. It’s a perfect choice for those who want a ring that tells a story of love and connection.
Minimalist Bands: Sleek and simple bands are gaining traction for their understated elegance and modern appeal.
Mixed Metals: Combining different metals in one ring creates a unique and contemporary look, perfect for those who love to stand out.
Geometric Shapes: Rings with bold, geometric designs are becoming popular for their modern and edgy aesthetic.
Among these trends, the halo ring stands out as the most highly sought-after choice. Its timeless appeal, combined with the ability to be customised and personalised, makes it a favourite among those looking for a ring that is both classic and contemporary.
The Bespoke Process at Calla Lily
When contemplating bespoke jewellery, you invest in more than an object, but in a legacy of creativity, skill, and innovation. You’re acquiring a slice of the designer’s thoughts, creativity, and experience. The quality of the materials we source is irrefutable. In turn, the fixtures created for them need to be parallel to their level of refinement: settings hold a purpose beyond merely detaining a stone in place. Besides accurately reflecting your individuality and capturing your essence, a significant composition must showcase exquisite artistry.
Our goal is for your ring to be the result of your dreams and memories combined with innovative technique and a sprinkle of imagination. As magical as it may sometimes appear, the act of creation is not an overnight achievement. The entire process of creation entails countless layers of work.
Ultimately, your new piece piece is a form of investment. In our universe, when it comes to assessing worth, one of the most pivotal roles in building it up, is effectively in the designers’s hands. Most precisely, in their proficiency to master the arrangements they forge. Highly sophisticated conception, combined with impeccable finishes and methodologies, is the key to enhancing the value of your final piece.
Our bespoke creation process involves several steps to ensure that each piece meets our high standards of quality.
It begins with a consultation, during which our designers work with clients to understand their vision and preferences. This initial consultation is an opportunity to discuss ideas, explore design options, and select the materials and gemstones that will be used in the ring.
Our designers then create detailed sketches and renderings of the proposed design, allowing clients to visualise the final piece. This can always be fine-tuned until you’re 100% satisfied!
Once the design is finalised, we begin the process of creating the ring. This involves several stages, including casting the metal, setting the gemstones, and polishing the final piece.
The cost of a bespoke engagement ring can vary widely depending on several factors, including the choice of metals, gemstones, and the complexity of the design. Our designs typically start at around SGD 3,000 to 5,000 but can go up significantly based on customisation options. We invite you to visit our studio in Singapore, where our experienced team is on hand to guide you through the bespoke process and every detail so you can create a piece that is truly one-of-a-kind. We also offer gemstone sourcing on demand, ensuring that your ring is as unique as your love story!
Gemstone Options
While diamonds are always a classic choice, our forte lies in coloured gemstones. Here are a few options to consider for your halo ring:
● Sapphire: They may be known for its deep blue hue, but sapphires also come in a variety of other colours, including pink, yellow, and green. The rare and lovely padparadscha sapphire, with its unique pinkish-orange hue, is particularly prized.
● Emerald: With its vibrant green colour, emerald represents growth and renewal. A timeless classic that is also a brilliant investment!
● Ruby: The rich red of ruby signifies passion and love. Rubies are known as the “kings of coloured gemstones” for their regal beauty, poise and value.
● Tanzanite: Celebrated for its stunning blue-violet hue, tanzanite is a rare and exquisite choice!
● Blue Zircon: This gemstone is prized for its brilliant blue colour and exceptional clarity.
● Spinels: Known for their wide range of colours and excellent durability, spinels are a versatile choice. Pink spinels are a firm favourite for engagement rings!
● Bi-Coloured Garnets: These unique gemstones feature a blend of colours, making each stone truly one-of-a-kind. One of our favourites!
