Hidden Halo Engagement Rings

Hidden Halo Engagement Rings: The Secret That Makes It Shine
A hidden halo engagement ring carries its most beautiful secret where you least expect it. Unlike a traditional halo where the surrounding diamonds are visible from every angle, a hidden halo is tucked just beneath the center stone invisible from above, but revealing a breathtaking ring of diamonds when the ring catches light from the side or below. The result is a ring that looks effortlessly clean and modern from the top, yet radiates with unexpected brilliance from every other angle.
Hidden halos have become one of the most sought-after engagement ring styles of the past decade and it's easy to understand why. They offer the best of both worlds: the sleek, uncluttered profile of a solitaire from above, combined with the extra sparkle and perceived size boost of a halo setting when light hits from the side. The center stone appears to float above the band, framed by diamonds that are present but not immediately obvious a design detail that rewards close attention.
At Wedding Bands & Co., Chicago's Gold Coast custom jewelry studio, our hidden halo collection features 12 carefully designed settings all available in 14K and 18K white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, and platinum. Each setting is designed to accommodate natural or lab-grown diamonds in round, oval, cushion, pear, and other popular shapes.
Every hidden halo ring in our collection can be fully customized — adjust the band width, metal, diamond shape, or hidden halo detail. You can also start from scratch with our chief designer and GIA-certified gemologist Koorosh Daneshgar to create a completely original hidden halo design.
