Engagement Rings

There’s so much to love about hidden halo engagement rings. This ring style features a tiny band of diamonds hidden below your center stone. It’s a delicate accent best seen by the wearer, a lovely touch of sparkle that’s just for you. A hidden halo accent makes wearing your ring feel even more special.

WHAT IS

A Hidden Halo On An Engagement Ring?

A hidden halo is a tiny band of diamonds tucked below your engagement ring’s center stone. It adds detail along the side of a ring, so it’s more visible to the wearer than it is to an outside observer. A hidden halo adds extra sparkle and a touch of fun to your ring. It also allows you to customize your ring without dramatically changing its overall style.

Difference Between a Hidden Halo and a Regular Halo

A hidden halo is an accent feature that can be added to any ring setting style, while a regular halo is a setting style in and of itself. A standard halo setting encloses your center stone in a ring of diamonds or gemstones. This completely changes the look of a ring, putting halo engagement rings in a category of their own. Hidden halos, on the other hand, don’t define a ring. They simply add a special touch.

When it comes to style, a hidden halo accent is quite different from a regular halo setting. A hidden halo is subtle by nature, while halo settings are naturally striking and glamorous. Diamond halo settings can be particularly eye-catching when used on diamond engagement rings, as they can enhance the visual impact of a center diamond and provide the illusion that it has a higher carat weight.

If you like the look of both hidden halo accents and regular halo settings, know that you don’t have to choose. A hidden halo can be added to a halo diamond engagement ring to give the already-luxe style even more shimmer.

FAQ

What is a micro pavé hidden halo?

Hidden halos generally feature pavé settings, which are commonly used for delicate diamonds and gemstones. Pavé settings have tiny prongs that hold gems together very closely in a way that makes jewelry appear paved in gems. Micro pavé settings are simply a type of pavé setting that features even smaller prongs.

Can hidden halos feature colored gemstones?

While most hidden halos feature diamonds, they can also feature colored gemstones. This design feature is uncommon on ready-made designs, but can easily be incorporated into a custom piece. If you’re looking for a ring with a gemstone hidden halo, reach out to our custom design team.

Will a hidden halo engagement ring sit flush against a wedding band?

In some cases, yes. In other cases, no. This is entirely dependent on the shape and style of both rings you’re considering for your bridal set. With that said, most hidden halo rings tend to have center stone settings that sit above band height. This style of ring stacks beautifully along standard rings. If you need assistance pairing your desired hidden halo ring with a wedding band, get in touch with our expert jewelers.

Are there advantages to choosing a hidden halo ring?

A main advantage of hidden halo is that it adds sparkle from the side, which is how the wearer usually views the ring. A hidden halo adds beauty to your ring from your perspective, which is a strong positive attribute in our eyes.

Are there advantages to choosing a hidden halo ring?

If you want a low profile ring that sits close to your finger, a hidden halo ring may not be right for you. Hidden halo designs require a bit of vertical space, so they sit higher on average compared to other ring styles.

Will a hidden halo make my center diamond look larger?

Classic diamond halo settings can give the illusion of a larger center stone–can a hidden halo accent do the same? This depends on the placement of the hidden halo. If the hidden halo accent is tucked well below a center stone, it generally won’t affect the visual impact of the center stone. If the hidden halo is very close to or almost parallel with a center stone, it can help it look a bit more substantial.

Can a solitaire ring have a hidden halo?

Technically speaking, a solitaire ring can only have one solitary stone: its center stone. That is the defining feature of the ring style. However, a ring with a hidden halo can certainly look like a solitaire when viewed from above.

Is a hidden halo best on a specific precious metal?

A hidden halo can look beautiful on every precious metal, including platinum, white gold, yellow gold, and rose gold. If you want a hidden diamond halo to be especially subtle, white precious metals like platinum and white gold are ideal.

Where is a hidden halo on a ring?

A hidden halo can be placed just below your center stone’s prong tips, just above your ring’s shank (band), or anywhere in between.

Is it hard to clean a hidden halo ring?

Hidden halo rings are typically no harder to clean than other rings with pavé accents, like pavé band rings and classic halo rings. Occasionally cleaning your hidden halo ring with warm water, gentle dish soap, and a soft toothbrush should keep it sparkling in between professional cleanings.

Can you have a hidden halo on any diamond shape?

Hidden halo accents are custom molded around the sides of your center stone’s setting, so they can work with any diamond shape. This includes round diamonds, princess cut diamonds, cushion cut diamonds, pear shaped diamonds, emerald cut diamonds, asscher cut diamonds, oval cut diamonds, and marquise cut diamonds.

Can a ring have a hidden double halo?

While double hidden halo accents are rarely found on ready-made rings, you can certainly have a double hidden halo on a custom ring. If you’d like a ring with a double hidden halo, get in touch with our custom design team.

Can I set a hidden halo ring with a lab-grown diamond?

A lab-grown diamond will look just as beautiful in a hidden halo setting as a natural diamond. Most ready-made hidden halo settings feature natural diamond accents on their halo, but lab-grown diamonds and natural diamonds are identical to the naked eye, so a lab-grown diamond will look lovely alongside a natural diamond halo. If you’re looking for a hidden halo ring that features a lab-grown diamond center and lab-grown diamond accents, reach out to our custom design team.

Can you resize a hidden halo ring?

A hidden halo shouldn’t get in the way if you need to resize your ring, since it will usually lie above your band. Diamond accents that rest directly on your band are more likely to impact your ability to alter ring size.

Do you make custom hidden halo engagement rings?

Yes, we make custom hidden halo rings at Moyen & Co. Our custom design team has experience creating a vast range of engagement ring styles, including rings with hidden halos.

Can you add a hidden halo to my engagement ring?

We’re able to create custom rings from scratch and alter existing designs, so we’re able to add hidden halos to engagement rings as long as their design permits. In some cases, a ring may have a design that isn’t compatible with a hidden halo. However, in the vast majority of cases, we can add a hidden halo to an existing engagement ring. To discuss adding a hidden halo to a specific ring, stop by our showroom or send us a message.
