Standard commercial grade cluster halo rings found at major bridal jewelers
Setting Suggestions
The current halo cluster setting in white gold or platinum is optimal for maximizing the visual size of the stones
Care & Maintenance
Ultrasonic cleaning is recommended, but check for loose prongs regularly as cluster settings have many points of failure
