The design retains the subtle appearance of a solitaire with the allure of a diamond halo ring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But some sources suggest a risk to other rings. To explain, small diamonds in contact with other rings might cause scratches or wear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Blue Sapphire Hidden Halo Engagement Ring with Interwoven Shoulders\" width=\"730\" height=\"411\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d1XcYsp97vk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of our bespoke design work, we ensure each hidden halo sits above a wedding ring. A raised design reduces the risk of scratching other ring designs. In this way, we create most of our engagement ring collection features ring styles with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/uk\/education\/what-is-wedfit-wedding-ring-friendly-settings\">wedding ring-friendly settings<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens if you lose a small diamond from your ring?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Occasionally, an unintentional bump or scrape can result in the loss of a small diamond from a halo. Typically most rings of this style feature small brilliant-cut diamonds with 57 facets for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The resulting sparkle diamond effect adds glamour to a solitaire engagement ring. But, in the event of the loss of a small diamond, a replacement can be added by most jewellers. 1mm &#8211; 1.3mm diamonds make the most popular sizes for halo diamond engagement rings, held within grain settings with small claws formed from the under bezel of the ring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Double halo engagement rings &#8211; hidden and regular halo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some ring designs combine a traditional diamond halo with a secret halo. This double-walled effect maximises diamond coverage. It appears in styles such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/uk\/product\/r1d012s-lacey-vintage-style-milgrain-round-diamond-halo-ring\">bespoke vintage design<\/a> in our custom-made ring gallery. A platinum or white gold halo adds contrast against other precious metals such as yellow gold or rose gold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"507\" src=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Traditional-Visible-Halo.jpg\" alt=\"double hidden halo ring with traditional and secret diamond halo. \" class=\"wp-image-20691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Traditional-Visible-Halo.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Traditional-Visible-Halo-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Traditional-Visible-Halo-768x458.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Double hidden halo engagement rings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our example ring features a double-hidden halo in addition to a regular halo.
