Le Rose is Natalie K’s glowing collection centered on the blushing gleam of rose gold. There’s something soft, delicate and charming about the warm metal. It has a versatility and effortless charm.

Natalie K has come to appreciate rose gold for its charming pink hue and versatility. With its soft pink hue it is complementary to most skin tones, bringing out underling rosy tones, as opposed to the bright contrast of white or yellow gold. It also lends itself well to being combined with other metals. NK28671-18RW displays a stunning gallery cast in white gold but surrounded by a rose gold band and shank. Adding touches of white gold to a rose gold band, or vise versa can soften the overall look and add a whimsical flair to a classic style.

It’s easy to appreciate the effortless way in which rose gold complements the natural beauty of diamonds. Rose gold has the ability to be beautiful in itself while at the same time not drawing the attention away from the diamonds or diamond center. It can also be paired with diamonds of various colors and enhance their hue. The mix of pink and white diamonds in our Rosé Collection is the perfect example of rose gold’s ability to produce harmony. NK28687PK18WR is a beautiful example of the way in which a fancy colored diamond’s natural hue is brought out. The pink diamonds all along the twisted shank reflect the sweet warm glow of rose gold.

While rose gold’s color inspires an old world feel and therefore creates stunningly beautiful vintage styles it has the ability to transcend. The gleam of rose gold when cast in a more modern mounting can still give off an old world feel while remaining contemporary. NK28670PK-18RW‘s styling is refreshing and unique. Had it been crafted in white gold it’s sleek split shank design could appear wholly contemporary, but with a rosy tint, the style is able to meander between old and new, perfect for a modern woman who has a taste for vintage appeal.

One such element that we here at Natalie K love so much we’ve dedicated an entire collection to, is the diamond halo. The diamond halo, is as the name suggests a ring of glittering diamonds which surround your center stone as seen traditionally on NK28659-18W. A row of 22 sparkling diamonds glows around the crown of the diamond and creates a breath taking affect.

But if round is not necessarily the look you’re going for don’t fret; they come in countless variations, from straight line square frames to dazzling star-burst diamond halos like the unique spikes halo of NK26674-W. You can choose just the right diamond halo to suit your center stone, be it a traditional round cut center or a sharp lined princess. Of if you’re the adventurous type and love to mix and match you can pair a round diamond center with a square halo, such as is seen on NK25850-W for a look all your own.

The style is also incredibly versatile. You can choose a diamond halo paired with a sleek band which creates a very chic and modern aesthetic. Or if you’ve always wanted more of a vintage flair pair your diamond halo with a more elaborately adorned gallery. The combinations are endless. The one benefit that never fails however is the halos ability to add more dimension.

Not only does the extra band of diamonds add glamour and sparkle to your ring, it also adds size. A solitaire is a beautiful traditional look, but when your center stone, be it a petite diamond or large carat cut, is paired with a dazzling diamond halo it makes a spectacular statement. Even the smallest center stone can make a jaw dropping visual impact. NK20505-ENG is designed for a small 0.50 carat center, but emanates so much fire when paired with two petite side stones and a sparkling halo.

It’s no wonder the diamond halo has become a favorite among songstresses and celebrities alike, alighting the hands of actresses like Natalie Portman and Jennifer Gardner to music stars like Kerry Underwood. Even Duchess Kate Middleton donned one before she walked down the aisle. Find the perfect diamond halo.
