The hidden halo is one of the best-kept secrets in engagement ring settings.
In this elegant and sophisticated design, a circle of tiny pave set diamonds lies beneath a central stone, adding a touch of glamour without detracting from the main event. However, with endless options for diamond shapes, what combination of diamonds best complements a hidden halo?
Let’s delve into some beautiful options, sure to make even the most exemplary engagement ring utterly unique.
Round Brilliant Cut
It’s not surprising that the round brilliant cut is the leading diamond shape. With its 58 facets, it reflects light in unmatched brilliance. And when a hidden halo encircles the round brilliant cut, it becomes even more dazzling. The hidden halo enhances the sparkle of the center stone, making it appear larger to the eye. The classic beauty of the round cut makes the hidden halo design the pinnacle of elegance and unmatched brilliance.
Princess Cut
Square with pointed corners adds a contemporary feel; this cut exudes excellence and reflectivity. A hidden halo setting hugs the princess cut perfectly, enhancing its modern feel. The small diamonds in the hidden halo complement this setting by reflecting light from every angle, creating an eye-catching finish. This combination is a perfect fit for brides who prefer hidden halo engagement rings with a hint of modernity and tradition.
Cushion Cut
The cushion cut, with its four-cornered square shape and softly rounded corners, is a perfect vintage shape for those with romantic inclinations. The cushion diamond looks particularly luxurious when it is set in a hidden halo, as the extra diamonds hug its soft pillowed shape, adding dimension and depth. They are the ideal combination for those who love vintage charm and modern sophistication.
Oval Cut
An oval cut diamond has an elongated shape that makes a ring appear longer and slimmer. A hidden halo setting adds to each oval cut’s natural brilliance and flair. The hidden halo’s small diamonds shine through the center stone, making it look bigger and brighter. The combination is just right for brides who want unique engagement rings that exude elegance and refinement.
Emerald Cut
With its square and step-cut facets, the emerald cut is rectangular and delivers that cool hall-of-mirrors sparkle. Though it won’t sparkle like a brilliant cut or a round, the clean lines and clarity of the emerald cut make it a fantastic choice for a hidden halo setting. The quiet shimmer from the hidden halo adds a subtle touch of brilliance without detracting from the true lines of the emerald cut. It is the perfect pair for those who love understated sophistication and uncommon beauty.
Pear-Shaped Cut
The pear-shaped diamond (also known as the teardrop cut) is very distinctive and stunning. Its pointed end and oval base are perfectly accentuated by a hidden halo that surrounds the base, making the pear-shaped cut look truly elegant. The pear shape, combined with the hidden halo, also helps to increase the diamond’s overall sparkle and shine, which makes it an excellent choice for brides looking for a statement piece.
The Final Word
Combining a beautiful diamond shape with a hidden halo setting can elevate your engagement ring to new levels of beauty and sparkle. While a blend of a round brilliant cut with a diamond halo setting is always a stunning choice, pear-shaped diamonds will retain the classic look and add elegance and modern beauty as well.
Whichever diamond shape and design you choose, it can always be delivered with a hidden halo setting.
