What is a Hidden Halo?

A hidden halo ring represents a secret row of diamonds studded on a band placed around the base of the main gemstone. Although it might not be visible while viewing your engagement ring from the top, the hidden halo might be visible from the side. And one of the best features of the hidden halo effect is that you can use it on all diamond shapes. Even though a hidden halo will not necessarily enlarge the center stone, it will add magnificent craftsmanship and ensure shine from all angles.

What's the Difference Between a Hidden Halo and a Halo?

A major difference can be seen between the circumference and width of the halo and the hidden halo ring. A halo ring has a halo with a larger diameter than that of the center stone. A hidden halo ring, on the other hand, has a halo with a smaller diameter when compared to the center diamond's diameter resting on top of the ring.

You notice a halo only when the table of the center stone is positioned to face you, i.e., you see it from the top. But to notice a hidden halo, you have to do so by flipping the ring sideways. Hence, halo ring gemstones are positioned upwards, while hidden halo ring gemstones are positioned sideways.

Why Pick Hidden Halo Engagement Rings?

Hidden halo engagement rings are diamond rings presented at proposals, weddings, and rare occasions. A hidden halo engagement ring makes a unique and ornate choice, a great precursor to more modest wedding bands that couples choose for their wedding ceremony.

You will soon discover that your hidden halo ring crafted with a halo setting dazzles brighter and goes well with all diamond cuts. Hidden halos also pair well with asscher, emerald, princess, or cushion cuts, all of which will make your ring shine. Compared to other cuts, a baguette cut is considered a great-looking and economical ring alternative, as when mounted on a hidden halo ring, it appears to shine more radiantly.

What are the Pros and Cons of Hidden Halo Rings?

The wearer gets a contemporary twist with a hidden halo ring. The hidden halo is notably out of the ordinary for anybody seeking a distinctive ring setting, in contrast to the usual halo ring. Additionally, compared to the top perspective of the traditional halo design, you will see more sparkles from more angles. However, diamonds in the hidden halo engagement rings are more difficult to access. Finding a wedding band that matches a hidden halo engagement ring might take a lot of work. It may also be difficult to clean hidden halo engagement rings crafted with a higher setting.
