Question 1

What is a hidden halo engagement ring?

Accepted Answer

A hidden halo engagement ring has a ring of tiny diamonds set under the center stone, around its base. You see the sparkle from the side, not from the top, so the ring looks like a clean solitaire from above while the hidden diamonds add extra light and a little size.

Question 2

Hidden halo vs a regular halo — what's the difference?

Accepted Answer

A regular halo circles the center stone on top, so you see it from above and it makes the stone look bigger. A hidden halo sits under the stone, so from the top the ring looks like a plain solitaire; the extra diamonds show only from the side. It is the subtler of the two.

Compare with halo engagement rings.

Question 3

Is a hidden halo worth it?

Accepted Answer

A hidden halo is worth it if you want a clean solitaire look from the top plus extra sparkle and a touch more size from the side. If you want the center to look clearly bigger from above, a regular halo does more. Neither is wrong — it is the look you prefer.

Question 4

How much does a hidden halo engagement ring cost?

Accepted Answer

A hidden halo engagement ring costs the setting plus the center diamond. The under-halo adds small stones, so it costs a little more than a plain solitaire setting but usually less than a full halo. The center's price depends mostly on carat weight. Prices change daily, so we show today's live prices below.

Question 5

Which diamond shape looks best with a hidden halo?

Accepted Answer

A hidden halo suits any center shape. Oval, round, emerald and radiant centers are popular, because the clean top view shows the shape clearly while the hidden diamonds sparkle from the side. An oval hidden halo is an especially strong look. Pick your center shape from the tiles above.

Question 6

Which metals can I choose for a hidden halo engagement ring?

Accepted Answer

Every hidden halo setting comes in platinum or in 14K or 18K gold, in yellow, white or rose. White gold and platinum keep the hidden stones bright; yellow and rose gold add warmth. A warm metal also lets you choose a slightly lower color grade. Platinum costs more than gold.
