A hidden halo is a ring of small diamonds set under the center stone, around the base of the prong head, rather than around the stone's edge. From above the ring looks like a solitaire; from the side the halo adds sparkle. It is a popular way to add detail without making the ring wider.

Hidden halo lab grown diamond engagement rings at Diamond Domain start at $849. The hidden halo adds a small amount to the setting price compared with a plain solitaire, and the center stone still drives most of the cost. Lab grown centers are priced far below mined diamonds with the same IGI grade.

Yes, from the side and at an angle. When you look straight down at the ring you see a solitaire; when the hand moves, the halo catches light beneath the center stone. This is why hidden halos photograph well in profile shots.

The center stone is a lab grown diamond certified by IGI, laser-inscribed with its report number, in our standard F–G color and VS1–VS2 clarity. The small halo stones are set securely beneath the head where they are protected from knocks, and the whole ring is covered by our lifetime warranty.

Yes. Because the halo is under the center stone rather than around it, the ring keeps a standard width and a straight wedding band sits flush against it. If the size is wrong, you have 30 days to return or exchange with free US return shipping.
