Princess Cut Hidden Halo Engagement Rings

A princess cut is all about clean lines and crisp corners. By placing a halo just beneath the square silhouette, the setting preserves that modern top view while introducing light from underneath. The hidden diamonds reflect upward into the center stone, softening the edges ever so slightly without diminishing the structured look that makes this shape so striking.

Yes, and that’s often the appeal. A traditional halo outlines the diamond from above, creating a more pronounced frame. With a hidden halo, the sparkle is tucked below the center stone, so the ring maintains a sleek, architectural profile. You still enjoy added brilliance, but the overall feel is refined and understated rather than bold and decorative.

It can. A slim, high-polish band emphasizes the princess cut’s sharp symmetry for a distinctly modern look. If you prefer more presence, pavé diamonds along the shank or a slightly elevated gallery can enhance dimension and light play. Even small adjustments to prong style or band width can shift the ring’s personality while keeping the hidden halo detail intact.
