Hidden Halo Engagement Rings

A hidden halo ring features a diamond halo made up of smaller stones that sits beneath the centre stone.  

When viewed from the top, this halo is hidden (hence the name), but when viewed from the sides it creates a faceted, moving radiance, adding light beneath the centre and enhancing its radiance.  

Sometimes known as a secret halo, this delicate halo of pavé diamonds can enhance any engagement ring style, from classic solitaire rings to intricate halo designs. Hidden halos can be paired with a range of centre diamond cuts, with oval and round styles among the most popular for engagement rings. 

The key difference between a regular halo and a hidden halo diamond ring is where the diamond halo sits. If the halo is placed beneath the centre stone, and has a smaller diameter, it’s considered a hidden halo. If the halo is set level with the centre stone and surrounds it, this is a regular halo. 

Both a regular halo and hidden halo enhance the overall appearance and radiance of your diamond ring. However, while a halo setting is visible when you look at it from the top down, a hidden halo diamond ring places diamond accents beneath the centre stone, which are only visible from the side.  

An engagement ring with a hidden halo can amplify the appearance of your diamond by reflecting more light. This creates an eye-catching look.

A hidden halo offers an elegant, added touch of brilliance to your engagement ring design, combining the beautiful simplicity of a solitaire ring with the radiant feel of a halo setting, or enhancing a halo ring with additional diamond accents. 

A hidden halo paired with a solitaire ring provides a statement, radiant look while keeping the elegant, minimalist aesthetic of this classic ring style. A hidden halo also has the benefit of catching the light from multiple angles, giving your ring a sense of character and intrigue by adding detail to a unique part of your setting. 

An engagement ring with a hidden halo is a chic option for those who prefer the intricacy of subtle details, or a unique way to create additional radiance.  

No matter which diamond shape you choose, hidden halos are a perfect fit. Opt for timeless radiance with a hidden halo oval engagement ring or evoke classic elegance with a hidden halo paired with a round cut ring. 

Consider also the overall look of your hidden halo engagement ring, including its precious metal setting, to find the one to suit your personal aesthetic.
