Procida Halo Ring — Square Halo Crystal Cocktail Ring

It is not a quiet ring. That is the point.

A big round crystal sits raised in a square halo of smaller stones, and the band doesn't taper away politely. It carries two channels of baguette-cut crystal down each shoulder, edged in pavé. The square frame around a round stone is what does the work: it squares off the sparkle and makes the centre read larger than it measures. Wear it on the right hand and it stops being about engagements and starts being about Tuesday.

• 3ct round 5A cubic zirconia centre stone
• Square halo with baguette-cut crystal shoulders
• Pavé-set band edges
• Sizes 5 to 11
• Bright silver-tone finish

Crystal, not diamond, and sold without a certificate. This is costume jewelry doing an excellent impression. Waterproof, so hand-washing and showers are fine, and a soft cloth keeps the shine.
