Hidden Halo Engagement Rings

What are hidden halo engagement rings?

Hidden halo engagement rings are a captivating twist on traditional halo designs. They feature a central gemstone encircled by smaller diamonds, but what sets them apart is the subtle, concealed detailing beneath the main stone. These hidden diamonds enhance the brilliance and size of the centre stone, creating a mesmerising effect. The hidden halo adds a touch of intrigue and allure, making the ring truly special. It's an elegant choice for those who appreciate understated luxury and appreciate the symbolism of a central gem, surrounded by a secret circle of dazzling diamonds. Hidden halo rings are a unique blend of classic and contemporary style.

What is the history of hidden halo engagement rings?

Hidden halo engagement rings have a rich history dating back to the early 20th century. This style became popular during the Art Deco era, known for its geometric and architectural influences. Jewellers sought to enhance the appearance of the centre diamond, and the hidden halo was born. The concept involves a ring of smaller diamonds or gemstones set beneath the main stone, creating an illusion of a larger, more dazzling centrepiece. Over the years, hidden halos evolved, adapting to various design trends. Today, they remain a sought-after choice, symbolising timeless elegance and a subtle yet striking way to emphasise the central gem in engagement ring designs.

Are hidden halo engagement rings hard to clean?

Hidden halos on engagement rings can be a stunning and intricate design feature, but they do require some extra care when it comes to cleaning. These small diamonds or gemstones are set beneath the centre stone, adding a beautiful, shimmering effect. However, their placement can create tiny spaces that are harder to access for cleaning. To maintain the brilliance of hidden halos, it's recommended to use a soft brush, warm soapy water, and gentle scrubbing to remove dirt and oil buildup. Regular maintenance by a professional jeweller is also advisable to ensure these delicate features stay dazzling over time.
