What is a hidden halo engagement ring?
A hidden halo engagement ring features a delicate circle of smaller diamonds set beneath the centre stone, adding subtle sparkle that’s revealed from side angles.
Unlike traditional halo engagement rings, which surround the centre diamond to make it appear larger, a hidden halo offers a more refined and understated look. It enhances the brilliance of the main stone without overpowering it, making it an ideal choice for those who want added sparkle but prefer a more minimalist design. Our Hatton Garden engagement rings collection include both hidden halo and classic halo designs, all of which can be customised with your choice of natural or lab-grown diamonds.
What diamond shapes work best with hidden halo settings?
Hidden halo settings complement virtually any diamond shape, with round brilliant cuts maximising light interaction. Oval engagement rings with hidden halo create elegant silhouettes, whilst pear, princess, emerald, and cushion cuts offer unique appeal. Radiant cuts combine brilliance with geometric elegance. Explore our loose diamonds to find your perfect choice.
Are hidden halo rings difficult to pair with wedding bands?
Not at all. Hidden halo rings are designed so that the pavilion diamonds sit beneath the centre stone and do not interfere with the placement of a wedding band. Our designers ensure that each engagement ring we craft is wedding-band friendly, and we also offer matching wedding band services to create a perfectly coordinated set. This guarantees a seamless fit and compatibility while preserving the elegant floating illusion of the hidden halo design.
How does a hidden halo differ from a traditional halo?
A traditional halo ring features a circle of accent diamonds set at the same level as the centre stone, adding noticeable sparkle from every angle and making the main diamond appear larger. A hidden halo ring, on the other hand, places the smaller diamonds just below the centre stone. These accents are revealed mainly from the side, creating a more subtle enhancement of brilliance without the prominent “halo effect.”
Both styles showcase exceptional craftsmanship; the choice comes down to whether you prefer bold, all-around sparkle or a more understated, elegant detail. Book an appointment to experience the difference in person and find the style that’s perfect for you.
Are hidden halo rings more expensive than traditional halo styles?
Hidden halo rings are generally priced similarly to traditional halo designs, as both feature comparable accent stones and require the same level of craftsmanship. The overall cost is more influenced by factors such as diamond quality, metal choice, and the complexity of the design rather than the setting style itself.
For those seeking excellent value without compromising on beauty or quality, lab-grown diamond rings are an outstanding option. We invite you to schedule a consultation to explore our bespoke engagement rings service and find the perfect design within your budget.

Can a hidden halo be added to any engagement ring design?
Hidden halos can be incorporated into many engagement ring styles, though some settings are better suited than others. Solitaire designs work especially well, creating a floating, illusion-like effect around the centre stone. Three-stone rings and vintage-inspired styles also pair beautifully with hidden pavilion diamonds.
The feasibility ultimately depends on the structure of the setting and the space available beneath the centre stone. Our expert Hatton Garden jewellers can advise you on the best options and assess your chosen design during a consultation.
How can I customise a hidden halo engagement ring?
Customising a hidden halo engagement ring allows you to create a piece that is uniquely yours. You can choose the centre diamond’s shapes and cuts, size, and quality to suit your style and budget, select the metal for the band from platinum, white gold, yellow gold, or rose gold and decide on the design and arrangement of the hidden halo itself.
The setting style, whether claw, bezel, or pave, can be tailored to enhance the diamond’s sparkle, while personal touches like engravings or coloured accent stones add meaningful detail. Additionally, you can choose between natural and lab-grown diamonds, combining beauty with sustainability. Our ring crafting process ensures every element reflects your vision, creating a ring that is both elegant and personal.
We invite you to visit our showroom located in the heart of the historic Hatton Garden jewellery shops district and share your ideas with our experts to bring your dream ring to life.
