Hidden halo engagement rings explained
A ring of small diamonds set beneath the centre stone: unseen from above, a line of light from the side.
What a hidden halo is
In a classic halo, small diamonds frame the centre stone and are seen from above. In a hidden halo they sit lower, around the basket that holds the centre diamond. From the top the ring reads as a solitaire. From the side, and as the hand moves, the halo catches the light.
Why people choose it
- The centre diamond stays the focus. Nothing surrounds it from above, so its shape and size are seen as they are.
- More sparkle without a larger look. The extra diamonds add light from the angles a solitaire leaves plain.
- It suits most shapes. Round, oval, pear, emerald and cushion diamonds all work well.
What to know before choosing
A hidden halo has more small diamonds than a solitaire, so there are more places for lotion and soap to collect. A soft toothbrush under the setting keeps it bright; our care guide shows how. The small diamonds are covered by our warranty against loss through a setting fault.
