The Secret Glamour of the Hidden Halo

For some, your engagement ring should be eye-catching from the first glance. It should sparkle, catch the light just right, and attract the attention of every set of eyes in the room. What about those who want a ring that's more than initially meets the eye? Something that carries its intrigue discretely but rewards those that dare to take a closer look? For those kinds of engagement ring shoppers, there is the hidden halo. Choosing a hidden halo ring is like buying one engagement ring and getting a second for free! If you've already been captivated by the allure of the hidden halo, keep on reading to find out if it's the perfect fit for you.

So What is a Hidden Halo?

A hidden halo is a type of setting in which the center diamond rests just atop a halo of accessory diamonds. The result is a ring that wows when viewed from above but is also certain to leave a lasting impression when viewed from different angles. The hidden halo is the perfect ring for the bride-to-be who wants something understated but still loves some secret charm.

A Hidden Halo for Every Taste

Fortunately, hidden halo settings are offered in a wide variety of shapes and styles. Brides that want to keep things simple may opt for a solitaire with a hidden halo, while those looking to make a bigger statement might reach for a ring with pave diamonds. And for those hoping to turn the wow factor up another notch, we've even got hidden halos with their own hidden halo. Whatever your taste, there's certainly no shortage of options—meaning you're sure to find the hidden halo that matches your love story.

Color Is Key

Because diamonds tend to show more color when viewed from the side as opposed to the top, you'll likely want to stay away from low color diamonds for your center stone. Opting for a higher color center diamond ensures that your center diamond won't appear yellow next to the diamonds in your hidden halo when you're showing it off, and the consistency in coloring across all your stones will add even more pop to your ring.
