The Open Embrace | Halo Split Shoulders Engagement Ring

Where love meets light, and space becomes meaning.

The Open Embrace is a contemporary celebration of connection, designed for those who know that true love doesn’t confine, it uplifts. Delicate split shoulders rise and part like open arms, curving into a soft, pavé-set halo that surrounds a natural centre diamond. The effect is luminous yet airy, inviting the eye inward while allowing love to breathe.

Each element speaks with intention: the split shoulders symbolise two individual paths, choosing to meet in harmony. The radiant halo reflects shared warmth, lighting the way forward together.

Handcrafted with precision and care, The Open Embrace is available in a wide range of centre stone shapes, including marquise, pear, oval, cushion and round, and in your choice of 18k yellow, white, or rose gold, or platinum. This is a ring for those who believe love should be powerful, spacious, and endlessly luminous.
