- What is a hidden halo?
- It is a ring of small French-set stones set under the center diamond, around the base of the setting. It adds sparkle when the ring is seen from the side, while the top view stays a clean solitaire.
- Why choose an emerald cut over a round diamond?
- Emerald cuts have large, open step facets that give a crisp, hall-of-mirrors look rather than the scattered brilliance of a round. They show their shape and clarity clearly, so cut and clarity matter more.
- Will a wedding band sit flush with it?
- The band is slim and low-profile, made to stack. A straight band should sit close, though a very wide or contoured band may not sit perfectly flush against the hidden halo.
- Is the emerald cut durable for everyday wear?
- Emerald cuts have flat corners, which are more exposed than a round's curve, so a prong setting that covers the corners helps. Four claw prongs hold the stone but leave more of the edge open, so check the prongs regularly.
- Does the hidden halo make the ring taller?
- It adds a small amount of height under the center stone. The overall setting is still described as low-profile, so it sits close to the finger.
