Hidden Halo Engagement Rings

Hidden halo engagement rings tuck a circle of small diamonds under the centre stone, so the ring reads as a clean solitaire from above and shows extra sparkle from the side. If you are looking at hidden halo styles, you probably want that flash of detail without changing the look from the top.

• Clean from the top, sparkle from the side: The hidden halo only shows as the hand moves, which keeps the top view simple.
• A subtle way to add detail: It lifts the centre stone slightly and adds sparkle without the wider outline of a traditional halo.
• Strong shape pairings: Oval is the most popular centre for a hidden halo, and the look also suits radiant, emerald and pear shapes.
• Works across stone types: Narrow by material into lab grown diamond hidden halo rings or moissanite hidden halo rings.

Compare the side views as well as the view from above. Sophia has an oval centre with a hidden halo, while Angelina has a wrap-around hidden halo. View our oval hidden halo engagement rings to compare the placement of the small diamonds.

• Pick the centre stone shape: Oval is the most requested, but the hidden halo follows whichever shape you choose.
• Think about the profile: The hidden halo adds a little height, which lifts the centre stone and lets it catch more light from below.
• Check the wedding band fit: Because the halo sits low under the stone, it is worth checking how a wedding band sits against it.
• Read the background first: For how the hidden halo changes the side profile and how it compares with a traditional halo, read the hidden halo setting guide, then use this page to compare rings.
