What Is a Hidden Halo—and Why Brides Love It
, by Michael Kerkinni, 3 min reading time
A hidden halo is a circle of small diamonds that wraps around the base of the center stone, just below the prongs. Unlike a traditional halo (which is visible from the top view), the hidden halo is tucked beneath the center diamond—visible only from the side angles.
When it comes to engagement rings, there’s always something magical about the details you don’t see right away. That’s exactly why hidden halo engagement rings are one of the most-loved trends among today’s brides.
At Princess Jewelry, hidden halo designs have quickly become a favorite for those who want a little extra sparkle—with a touch of subtlety and sophistication.
Let’s explore what makes the hidden halo so special—and why you might just fall in love with one.
💎 What Is a Hidden Halo?
A hidden halo is a circle of small diamonds that wraps around the base of the center stone, just below the prongs. Unlike a traditional halo (which is visible from the top view), the hidden halo is tucked beneath the center diamond—visible only from the side angles.
The result? A gorgeous surprise detail that adds sparkle, depth, and dimension to your ring without overshadowing the center stone.
✨ Why Brides Are Obsessed with Hidden Halos
1. Extra Sparkle Without the Bulk
Hidden halos give you more brilliance from every angle—especially when viewed from the side—without making the ring appear too flashy from above.
2. Sleek, Modern Aesthetic
Brides love that the hidden halo keeps the spotlight on the center diamond, allowing for a clean and timeless look with a secret twist.
3. Works with Any Diamond Shape
Round, oval, pear, cushion—whatever shape you choose, a hidden halo complements it beautifully.
4. Perfect for Custom Designs
Since the hidden halo isn’t bound by traditional styling rules, it’s ideal for creating something personal, meaningful, and uniquely you.
