1. Enhances The Appearance of the Center Stone

The hidden halo engagement ring, also commonly referred to as under halo setting, is an innovative and unique take on the classic halo design.  Although similar in theory, both settings yield very different results. The best way to describe a hidden halo setting is that instead of framing the center stone, the halo sits below it, “hidden” and acts as a base for the diamond.

From a birds eye view, you may not be able to see the halo but from any other angle the hidden halo stands out and accentuates the precious center stone . The hidden halo setting can make the center stone seem up to 15% larger. It gives the diamond a platform made of even more diamonds that allows it to shine center stage.

2. Hidden Halo Is Compatible For All Diamond Shapes

 Unlike some other types of settings, the hidden halo setting fits perfectly with any shaped diamond. In fact, its growing popularity can be attributed to its ability to make any diamond shine, no matter the shape – oval, radiant, round, pear, etc. This particular setting also allows for plenty of room to add diamonds to the band without cluttering the center stone.

3. Opportunity to Mix Metals With a Hidden Halo Setting

Have you ever wanted to mix metals in an engagement ring set but didn’t know how to do it without looking tacky? The hidden halo setting gives the ring plenty of opportunity to mix metals without overwhelming the design. Picture a white gold solitaire band with a yellow gold setting to support the hidden halo. Having many options when designing and buying her dream engagement ring is key to a successful purchase and a happy bride to be.

4. Comparable Pricing to Traditional Rings

As for price, there’s no major difference between a halo or a hidden halo setting. The hidden halo setting may not need as many diamonds since it is positioned below the center stone and doesn’t frame the entire diamond but they typically are priced evenly.

According to Sarah Hanlon, Entertainment & Celebrity Editor for The Knot, with a special focus on pop culture and celebrity wedding news, the allure of hidden halo engagement rings is more than just a fleeting trend. “If you love this style, you’ll be happy to know that the trend likely isn’t going away any time soon. In fact, more designers may create hidden halo engagement rings as the setting becomes more mainstream.” This insight underscores the lasting appeal and growing popularity of hidden halo engagement rings, suggesting that they will continue to be a favored choice among couples.

However, There’s no right or wrong answer to the question, “should I get a halo or hidden halo setting?” It’s entirely up to the buyer. If we’ve learned anything from being in this business for decades, it’s that every person is different. That translates directly into the style they choose for a ring that they will wear forever. That is until she wants an upgrade for her anniversary. Diamond Mansion will buy back your stone and you just pay the difference! How’s that for a lifelong commitment.
