Q1. What exactly makes it a "mirage" ring?
The halo of smaller diamonds creates an optical illusion that makes your center diamond look bigger than it actually is. The stones reflect light between each other, making the whole ring appear larger and more brilliant.
Q2. Are they more delicate than regular rings?
They need a bit more care because of all those small halo stones, but they're not fragile. With regular maintenance and common sense, they'll last forever.
Q3. Can mirage rings be resized?
Yes, though it's more involved than resizing a plain band. Our experienced jewelers handle it carefully to maintain the design integrity.
Q4. How much larger does the center stone appear in mirage rings?
Usually about a quarter to half carat larger, depending on the halo design. The effect is most noticeable from normal viewing distance.
Q5. Do they need special cleaning?
Dirt gets trapped between the halo stones so it requires frequent cleaning. Weekly at-home cleaning plus professional cleaning every six months keeps them perfect.
Q6. Can I customize the halo style?
Absolutely. We offer different halo sizes and styles, and we'll help you choose what works best with your center stone and personal taste.
Q7. Are they good for engagement rings?
Yes, mirage rings are highly popular for engagements! A Mirage ring can come in your budget and gets you a dramatic look without spending much on a huge diamond.
