What is a Hidden Halo Engagement Ring Setting?
Tacori HT2580RD6.5 Founders Collection Solitaire Engagement Ring
By definition, a hidden halo engagement ring features a halo of diamonds that is hidden from the top view. It might even look like a regular solitaire setting. But if you view the ring from the side or at an angle, the hidden halo becomes visible. This unique setting was created to add more brilliance to the ring and make it shine from any angle that the light hits.
The hidden halo engagement ring style caught everyone’s attention because of its ability to subtly “dress up” the center stone and make it appear more prominent. Instead of framing the center stone, the hidden halo sits below the stone. This setting makes the gemstone appear more regal because it has a “platform” to showcase it.
A hidden halo can make your center stone appear more ornate by adding an element of artistry and ensuring sparkle from additional angles.
Hidden halo settings come in several variations; most place the halo below the center stone's girdle. Occasionally, the hidden halo is located right before the prongs that extend upwards. Halo settings work best in a variety of situations, including micro pave setting, cathedral setting, and solitaire setting.
Today, elegant halo engagement rings are available in many flattering designs that are suitable for a wide range of taste and personal style. There have always been variations of the diamond halo ring, including the hidden halo, but these days, brides-to-be have more choices than ever before. The hidden halo is a modern take on this well-loved trend.
Designer engagement rings vary from the ornate and artistic elegance seen in
Verragio Rings to a simple solitaire with a halo underneath. It is possible to cast your hidden halo settings in any metal. Platinum, 18k gold and 14k gold (both
yellow and
white) are the most popular engagement ring metals - both for their durability and timeless appeal. You can read more about metal alloys for jewelry purposes in
