A Hidden Halo engagement ring is a modern update of the classic Halo setting. The same principle applies to both Halo and Hidden Halo settings — small diamonds circle around a solitaire diamond. But for the Hidden Halo, these diamonds are placed inside an elevated prong setting. The halo they form is best seen from the side, instead of looking straight down, which is what gives this ring its “hidden” name.

A Halo engagement ring is a ring whose center stone is surrounded by a circle — or “halo”— of smaller diamonds. Although variations can occur, particularly with custom-designed rings, most Halo engagement rings are solitaire rings. This means the halo surrounds a single diamond.
