💫 What Is a Hidden Halo Engagement Ring?

A hidden halo is a circle (or partial circle) of tiny diamonds set just below the centre stone, hidden from the top-down view. It’s only visible from the side or angled perspective, creating a secret flash of sparkle.

Key Features:

• Diamonds tucked under the main stone, not around it
• Creates a “floating” effect for the centre stone
• Looks minimal from above and dazzling from the side
• Compatible with many stone shapes and band styles

This subtle design detail is the reason they’re called “secret halo” or “under halo” rings and it’s the exact kind of understated luxury many modern couples crave.
