At Melissa Tyson Designs, we believe your ring should be as unique as your love story. That’s why we’re passionate about crafting custom engagement rings that blend artistry, sustainability, and timeless beauty. One of our favorite ways to elevate a classic design is through our signature hammered halo—a stunning mix of organic texture and refined elegance, perfect for those looking for unique rings with a handcrafted touch.

What is a Hammered Halo?

A hammered halo is our artisanal take on the traditional halo setting, where a delicate frame of precious metal surrounds the center stone to enhance its brilliance. Instead of a sleek, polished surface, we hand-hammer the metal to create a dappled, light-catching texture. The result? A one-of-a-kind shimmer that enhances the beauty of the center stone without overpowering it.

The Art of Hand-Hammering

Each handcrafted engagement ring at Melissa Tyson Designs is made with care, using traditional metalsmithing techniques to achieve the perfect texture. Our process involves individually hammering the metal by hand, ensuring no two halos are ever alike. This technique brings a natural, organic charm to your ring while maintaining a sophisticated, heirloom-quality feel.

Why Choose a Hammered Halo?

A hammered halo is perfect for those who love the balance of timeless elegance with a modern, artistic twist. Here’s why this unique setting might be the perfect fit for your custom engagement ring:

• Unique Texture – The hammered finish adds depth and dimension, making your ring stand out from traditional designs.

• Handcrafted Beauty – Every ring is made by hand, ensuring an authentic, organic look that mass-produced jewelry simply can’t match.

• Timeless Appeal – While the hammered halo is a fresh take on a classic style, its elegance ensures it will never go out of fashion.

• Perfect for Moissanite & Diamonds – Whether you’re drawn to the brilliance of a diamond or the ethical, eco-friendly sparkle of moissanite, a hammered halo beautifully enhances any center stone.

  

Make it Your Own

Your love is one of a kind—your ring should be, too. At Melissa Tyson Designs, we specialize in designing handmade engagement rings that reflect your personal style. Our hammered halo rings can be customized with your choice of metal—14K or 18K yellow, white, or rose gold, or even platinum. Pair it with a round, oval, or pear-shaped center stone to create a piece that’s uniquely yours.
