Hidden Halo

A hidden halo is a ring of small diamonds set beneath the center stone, visible primarily from the side view rather than from above, creating a subtle surprise element.

This modern design innovation adds extra sparkle and can make the center stone appear to float above the band. The hidden halo also provides practical benefits by protecting the pavilion of the center stone and adding extra support to the setting. When viewed from above, the center stone takes full focus, but the side profile reveals the secret diamond detail.

Hidden halos have become increasingly popular in contemporary engagement ring designs for those who want extra diamond presence without the traditional halo look from the top view.
